Cosmic Dawn (CD) is the period in our Universe’s history when first-generation stars and galaxies were formed. Despite its importance, we have yet to directly observe this period. Next-generation radio telescopes promise to change this by utilizing a technique known as 21cm tomography. The current state-of-the-art software package for making theoretical predictions in 21cm tomography […]

Support the deployment of a custom UV camera for field operation on a drone. The UV camera is specific to our research project and was already used for crop monitoring in a fixed setup. The drone to deploy the camera is designed and manufactured by a partner organization, which will provide all the required design […]

This project concerns the full detailed airflow and thermal analysis on a 7000XR full flight simulator to assure a comfortable environment for the personnel inside the cockpit during the training session and to protect the advanced electronic systems available in the simulator. To reach this objective, we will use CFD tools that will be validated […]

Aircraft flight simulators are important to airworthiness standards and thus safety. The simulators are used in pilot training, as well assisting in the design of flight vehicles. Flight simulators need physical models that reproduce, in the computer, the real devices such as engines, pilot human response, cockpit, etc. In particular, it also needs an aerodynamic […]

It is forecast that by 2023, Canada will be facing a critical shortage of pilots. If the launch of Delphi technology’s MVP is successful, it is predicted that the project will significantly aid Canada in this critical shortage. The main challenge with this project is raising the desired amount of awareness for the brand, given […]

Ce projet vise à produire des connaissances et méthodes nouvelles en biomécanique et en ergonomie occupationnelle qui vont permettre d’augmenter les capacités du logiciel Ergonomic Workplace Designer (EWD), dont une première version sera mise en marché par Dassault systèmes au cours de l’année 2021. Ce logiciel d’ergonomie virtuelle est destiné aux concepteurs de systèmes de […]

There is a critical shortage of commercial pilots in North America, in large part because pilots who are qualified to conduct such training are in very high demand. Delphi is an innovative Calgary-based flight training school that is using novel methods to improve student outcomes, increase retention of students, and scale student training to better […]

L’objectif de cette recherche est d’étudier et améliorer les performances d’un rotor de queue d’hélicoptère novateur. Le concept à l’étude fait usage de plusieurs hélices fixées sur des moteurs électriques pour générer une poussée. Ce concept se veut intéressant pour plusieurs raisons notamment la réduction des émissions sonores, la réduction de la consommation énergétique et […]

Les appareils à rotors coaxiaux utilisent deux rotors contrarotatifs partageant le même axe de rotation. Pour ces appareils, l’interaction entre les deux rotors est importante pour leurs performances. Ainsi, ce projet porte sur la caractérisation expérimentale de l’effet de l’espacement entre les 2 rotors sur le comportement aérodynamique des drones.

The primary role of the lubrication system of aero-engines is to remove the excess heat generated by the movement of the bearings, gears and shafts. As a part of the lubrication system, an aero-engine has bearing chambers whose principal function is containing oil and preventing oil leakages. Inside the bearing chamber is found a mixture […]

Laser comms is a branch of wireless communication using a laser beam which directed at a given target, allowing higher speed connections. Specifically, we consider devices called modulators, these are used to encode information into a laser beam, analogously to sending a Morse code message. The modulator allows more of less of the laser beam […]

Many aerospace parts on Boeing aircrafts cannot currently be easily repaired when damaged during operation due to the lack of existing economical-practical repair technologies. For example, damaged aluminum coatings or chromium plating require that the coating/plating be completely removed and then reapplied, an extremely costly and time consuming process. Similarly, aluminum and titanium parts damaged […]
