Aeronautic systems

Published research highlights

	Opportunities and challenges for using metals forming in aerospace industry Dr Lillian Ivanchev gives an overview of the potential applications of semi-solid metals forming in the aerospace industry, describing the challenges and kind of research and data that need to be generated to realise the potential.

	Hybrid inverse method for nonlifting bodies incompressible flow CSIR researcher Dr Bennie Broughton investigates the methodology for the inverse design of non-lifting axisymmetric bodies incompressible flow.

	A holistic approach to flutter clearance using classical methods CSIR researcher, Louw van Zyl employs simple techniques to enable him to process the data efficiently and to better judge whether the discrepancies indicate serious deficiencies in the flutter analysis.

Researcher profile

	When it's too dull, dirty, or dangerous for manned aircraft Dr Bennie Broughton (33), a CSIR principal researcher and expert in aerodynamics and flight dynamics, works on challenges mainly associated with combat situations in hostile territories.
