CRUISE RANGE OPTIMIZATION OF A PROPELLER-DRIVEN LIGHT AIRCRAFT USING A DIRECT TRANSCRIPTION METHOD WITH A REGULARIZATION TERM

Cruise Range Optimization of a Propeller-Driven Light Aircraft Using a Direct Transcription Method with a Regularization Term

The problem of maximizing the range of a propeller-driven aircraft in a level flight cruise is analyzed within the framework of optimal control.The specific fuel consumption and propeller efficiency of its propulsive system are characterized by functions of the velocity and engine power (full model), in contrast to previous works, where they were c

JT gravity at finite cutoff

We compute the partition function of 2D Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity at finite cutoff in two ways: (i) via an exact evaluation of the Wheeler-DeWitt wavefunctional in radial quantization and (ii) through a direct computation of the Euclidean path integral.Both methods deal Horse Fly Sheets with Dirichlet boundary conditions for the metric and the

The destruction of the silver pipes from Ur: a new proposal

This paper proposes that the silver pipes found in the Royal Cemetery of Ur (ca.2450 BCE) were intentionally made unfit for use after having July 2024 been used to play music during the funerary procession that led to the burial of the deceased in Private Grave 333.Based on Mesopotamian archaeological and cuneiform evidence, as well as brief compar
