SUMMARY:Engineering High-Speed Gusts For Safer Aircrafts and Greener Skies
  - Angel Gomariz-Sancha\, Mathworks
DTSTART:20240418T173000Z

DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE that this event will be held at Mathworks on the S
 cience Park\, CB4 0JL\, to ease access for those working on the North side
  of Cambridge. There is plenty of space for bicycle and car parking. Event
  starts at 1830 hours with refreshments from 1800 hours. \n\nToday\, stead
 y flight conditions for modern airliners at cruising speed can be simulate
 d successfully using computational methods and ground testing. However\, t
 he state of the art for some transient conditions is far behind. In partic
 ular\, current assessment methods for aircraft gust response at high speed
  are not adequate for innovative aircraft configurations. This leads to ov
 erly conservative designs\, implying unnecessary weight and\, hence\, exce
 ssive fuel burn.\n\nIn this talk\, Angel Gomariz-Sancha\, former Team Lead
 er and Principal Aerodynamics Engineer at the Aircraft Research Associatio
 n (ARA)\, will discuss the main engineering challenges of developing ARA
 ’s gust simulator\, the world’s first industrialised transonic gust ri
 g\, able to provide experimental data for the evaluation of aircraft desig
 ns encountering this dynamic phenomenon.\n\nAngel graduated with a Masters
  degree in Aerospace Engineering from BarcelonaTech (2010)\, and an MSc in
  Computational Fluid Dynamics in the College of Aeronautics in Cranfield U
 niversity (2012).\n
