The distributed air wing
… of these threats makes operating an aircraft carrier from contested waters a high-risk endeavor. If a carrier must be withheld from the battle or is put out of action, the entire capability of the air wing is lost. The Systems Engineering process was applied to this problem by …

Applications of modular construction techniques for habitability spaces in naval ship design and production
… habitability spaces in naval ships, particularly aircraft carriers, are manpower intensive and expensive. In response to decreasing defense spending, the Navy is considering methods to improve the affordability of aircraft carriers. Modular construction techniques for habitability spaces offer …

Inlet flow-field measurements of a transonic compressor rotor prior to and during steam-induced rotating stall
Steam leakage from an aircraft carrier catapult is sometimes ingested by the aircraft's engines upon launch which may induce compressor stall. Investigation of the phenomenon known as a "pop stall" is of particular importance as the Navy prepares to field the F35C, the aircraft carrier variant of …
