Dear Aerospace Alumni, Faculty,

Students, and Friends:

The 2014-2015 academic year will be an exciting one as we start the celebra-tion of our 100th year as an academic unit. The Aerospace program was started in 1914; it was the fi rst Aero program in the country. Consider this your invitation to join us on campus September 18–20, 2014, for our Cen-tennial Celebration (see page 28). In brief, the program consists of panels and lectures on the way forward for aerospace, as expressed by corporate and academic leaders from around the country. The program will include comments from alum; and highlights of current student projects. A gala dinner is planned at the Yankee Air Museum and of course the event is followed by a home football game for those who enjoy aerodynamics in action.

Leading up to our celebration in September we have had two events including the kick-off of the Kelly Johnson display in the FXB lobby (September 27, 2013), and the host-ing of a hospitality suite at the AIAA SciTech meeting (January 15, 2014). Both events were well attended. Our students will hold a hospital-ity tent at the Oshkosh Air Venture in July. Several events will be held in the Los Angeles, Seattle, and DC areas for various alumni groups.

We welcomed two new faculty mem-bers. Dr. Karthik Duraisamy joined our Gas Dynamics Group. His work is in the area of applied computational fl uid dy-namics with interests in helicopter and wind applications where fl ows are inter-acting with rotating structures. Karthik received his PhD in Aerospace Engi-neering from the University of Mary-land in 2005. He has worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Maryland for one year, as a Lecturer in Aerospace at the University of Glasgow (equivalent to an assistant Professor) and as a consulting Assistant Professor in Aerospace Engineering at Stanford.

Dr. James Forbes joined our Flight Dynamics and Controls group. James received his PhD in Aerospace Science and Engineering from the University of Toronto, Canada’s premier aerospace program, in 2011. He has worked as an assistant professor in the Depart-

ment of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University in Montreal, Canada since 2011. His research interests are in the area of control of fl exible structures and robotic manipula-tors. Comprehensive descriptions of both Drs. Duraisamy and Forbes’s research and teaching interests can be found on our web site.

Dr. Matthias Ihme has returned to Stanford, but he will remain affi liated as an adjunct professor. Dr. Ilya Kol-manovsky was promoted to Professor with tenure and Dr. Veera Sundara-raghavan to Associate Professor with tenure. We are recruiting for two, pos-sibly three, new positions this year. We have specifi c interest in autono-mous systems, composite structures and computational combustion.

We are very proud of our robust undergraduate educational program, which has been expanded this year under the leadership of Dr. Pete Washabaugh to include a design-build-fl y course the sophomore year. The introduction of AERO 205 rounds out our curriculum with hands-on lab experiences across the degree program. Our mission remains to provide basic theoretical background in aerospace topics in our more traditional lecture courses, while instilling a systems level understand-ing and hands-on experience through our sequence of laboratory courses.

Incoming undergraduate enrollments have been steady, at roughly 100 per class and we graduate nearly that number each year. Our incoming graduate class is 66 (27 PhD students and 39 Masters students) bringing our total number of graduate students to 245 about half of which are in the PhD program. We are proud that over 24% of our new PhD students are female.

Our current students continue to excel, with several winning awards for best papers and national design competitions. Our alumni continue to achieve and make an impact on the aerospace enterprise. To name a few, Paul Adams (MS 1983) was recently appointed president of Pratt & Whit-ney, and 40 of our recent graduatesworked on the launch of the fi rst private delivery to the space station orchestrated by SpaceX. Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrup Grumman and Airbus all have several highly

placed Michigan Aero grads. Debra Fackto-Lepore (BSE Aero 88, MSE 89) recently became Vice President and General Manager of Strategic Opera-tions for Ball Aerospace & Technolo-gies Corporation. And the list goes on.

Our faculty members continue to be successful on all fronts: teaching, research and service. Dr. Iain Boyd continues to serve on the Air Force Scientifi c Advisory Board. Dr. Ella Atkins and Dr. Peretz Friedmann are both serving on the National Research Council’s Aeronautics & Space Engi-neering Board. Dr. Friedmann is also a member of the Guggenheim Medal Board of Award, Dr. Cesnik serves on the AIAA Crichlow Award Committee, and Dr. Inman served on the ASME Ap-plied Mechanics Division Award Com-mittee. Our faculty members continue to be recognized by various honors and awards (see pages 10–13). Many of our faculty members have given numer-ous invited lectures and keynotes at conferences, illustrating our faculty and graduate students’ high level of contribution to aerospace research.

These and many other accolades are presented in the following pages. This last year we have instituted web broadcasts of selected lectures in our graduate lecture series.

Over 100 people watched Dr. Roe’s lecture on “Colorful Fluid Dynam-ics—Behind the Scenes” this fall live over the web. Please keep an eye out for other webcasts. Previous web-casts can be found on page 14.

We are proud of our 100-year heritage and are working hard to propagate a legacy of excellence in teaching, research and service into the future of aerospace. Please join us for our centennial celebration in September. I look forward to seeing you there.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

With the onset of World War II, the Aero Depart-ment became geared to the war effort. Some faculty members joined the Armed Forces, others participated in the training of aircraft inspec-tors and pilots, and others engaged in applied research devoted to improving the design or manufacture of military aircraft.

From Robert P. Weeks’s “The First Fifty Years.”

1913 1914 194119221911FALL1900

The fi rst of the Aero-space program’s two founding members, Herbert Sadler, ar-rives at U-M to head Naval Architecture and Marine Engineer-ing. His father was a balloonist, and he had a keen interest in aero-nautics, though the area was too new to be respected as more than a hobby.

Immediately after Ludwig Prandtl’s new theory of lift was made available in the English language, Michigan Aero incorporated it into Theory of Aviation and added Mathemati-cal Theory of Aerofoils to address advanced aspects.

Henry Ford and Charles Lindbergh built the world’s largest bomber facility at Willow Run in Ypsilanti. During peak production of the B-24 “Liberator” bomber, the plant employed 42,000 people including “Rosie the Riveter.” After the war, it served a brief stint as Detroit’s main airport.

Felix Pawlowski, pilot and possessor of the certifi cat d’etude of the University of Paris arrived in the U. S. in pursuit of his dream to be an aeronautical engineer. His efforts to obtain work at the Wrights’ factory in Dayton were unsuccessful, so he decided to apply for a post as a professor of aeronautical engineering. He wrote eighteen colleges and universities, most of which did not even reply to his fantastic proposal.

Among the very few that did were MIT and The University of Michigan. Only Michigan offered him a job. Dean Mortimer Cooley offered Pawlowski an $800-a-year appointment as Teaching Assistant in Mechanical Engineering with the promise that he would be permit-ted to teach a course in aeronautical engineering. The aero course was not to be offered for a year or so and it was to be a non-credit course, but Pawlowski was tempted enough by the offer to give up his job as truck designer in Toledo, Ohio—a job which probably paid a good deal more than the Assistantship—and to move to Ann Arbor.

From Robert P. Weeks’s “The First Fifty Years.”

Ed Stalker becomes third fac-ulty member, among fi rst U-M Aero graduates in 1919.

Dean Cooley approved the fi rst credit courses in aeronautical engineering, begin-ning with Theory of Aviation, taught by Pawlowski. It covered the basic principles of aerodynamics and fl ight mechanics as they are understood at the time.

Inspired by Lindbergh’s fl ight, U-M Aero adds an Air Transportation course.

Lucien Marchis visits the University of Michigan, and he and Pawlowski give a series of lectures some of which related to aeronautics. Thomas Adamson, Professor Emeritus of Aerospace Engineering, wrote, “the appearance of a world-famous author-ity on an American campus strengthened the increasing academic respectability of aeronautical engineering in the country.”

Michigan Aero adds fi ve graduate courses and begins a formal program for graduate research and advanced design.

Professors Myron H. Nichols, Lawrence L. Rauch, and Robert M. Howe join the faculty, bringing expertise on instrumentation, ad-vanced feedback con-trol, missile guidance and radio telemetry.

The department changes its name from “Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering” to “Aerospace Engineering.”

Through the 1960s, a graduate-level program in instrumentation engi-neering grew out of the guided-missile-related courses, evolving into the Computer Information and Control Engineering (CICE) program. “CICE provided students with an integrated systems perspective that is now widely viewed as key to the development of many 21st century information technologies, including those that are essential to modern Aerospace enterprise,” said Harris McClamroch, a professor emeritus of aerospace engineering. CICE was dissolved in 1984.

The University of Michigan sells Willow Run to Wayne County for $1.

Francois Xavier-Bagnoud enters the Aerospace Engineering program at U-M. Already a licensed pilot, he excelled in his studies and enjoyed the helicopter club. He went on to fl y in over 300 rescue missions with his father’s company, Air Glaciers, in Switzerland and in Africa. At age 23, he was the youngest helicopter and airplane pilot in Europe certifi ed to fl y by instruments, allowing him to fl y in poor visibility conditions.

In 1986, covering the Dakar Rally (an off-road race from Paris to Dakar), the helicopter that Xavier-Bagnoud co-piloted with race organizer Thierry Sabine was swept up in a sudden sand storm over Mali and crashed into a dune, killing all on board. He was 24 years old.

The University of Michigan buys Willow Run Airport from the federal government for $1, with the understanding that it will be operated as a research center. The new Michigan Aeronautical Research Center soon housed one of the fi rst supersonic wind tunnels at a university, capable of producing a variety of speeds up to Mach 3.8, or 3.8 times the speed of sound. In addition to the wind tunnel studies, faculty and students performed upper atmosphere research, investigated defensive guided missiles in Project Wizard, and developed a guidance system for BOMARC nuclear anti-aircraft missiles.

Adapted from Robert P. Weeks’s “The First Fifty Years” and John Anderson’s “Riding the Crest.”

Since 1986, Aerospace Chair Thomas Adamson and Dean James Duderstadt fl ew many miles courting donors to help cover the cost of a new aerospace engineering building, capable of housing electronic and computer-driven instrumentation, with control over temperature and humidity.

In 1989, the Countess Albina du Boisrouvray, mother of Francois Xavier-Bagnoud, pledged the department $5 million to help with the building, in memory of her son. She asked that the department start a center for helicop-ter studies, which began with the hiring of Peretz Friedmann. In addition, she created four complete fellowships for outstanding students. The FXB building remains one of the fi nest aerospace engineering buildings in the nation.

The Aerospace depart-ment moved to North Campus, to purportedly temporary buildings.

KATE MCALPINEMICHIGAN ENGINEERING

PROF. KARTHIK DURAISAMY

A thorny aerodynamics problem is about to get a Netfl ix-style “big data” treatment from a Michigan-led team of engineers. They’re developing a better description of turbulence, which could enable radical, more effi cient airplane designs

and improve prediction in other fi elds where chaotic fl ow comes into play—from the human bloodstream to weather forecasting.

“The general impression within the turbulence modeling community is that ideas for improved models have completely stagnated, especially over the past two decades,” said Karthik Duraisamy, an assistant professor of aerospace engineering at U-M. He heads the project, which includes collaborators at Stanford, Iowa State, Boeing and the Silicon Valley fi rm Pivotal Inc. “We are going to take a completely new approach.” To maximize fuel economy in terms of lift and thrust, an airplane wing must consistently maintain smooth airfl ow just at the point where a little more speed would break the air up into disorganized eddies. When this swirling fl ow—or turbulence—dominates, effi ciency takes a nosedive.

Engineers would like to design wings that reliably operate at peak performance on computers before they spend hundreds of millions of dollars building, testing and tweaking prototypes. “These models are not typically very accurate, causing a great deal of frustration among designers,” said Duraisamy.

Lawless Air

The major snag is turbulence. To the chagrin of scientists, its chaotic nature has defi ed an accurate mathematical description. Turbulent fl ow can be calculated precisely in situations involving low-speed breezes over small bodies, such as insect fl ight, but accurate simulations of fast-moving fl ows typical of airplane fl ight require too much computing power.

“You can go to the largest supercomputer in the world right now—one that can execute a quadrillion instructions a second—and you can run a simulation on that computer for the next 100 years, and you still may be able to solve just a fraction of a fl ow that’s important to a large commercial airplane such as the Airbus A380,” said Duraisamy.

By building a model from a database of airfl ow measurements and computations, he and his team hope to make predictions based on more realistic approximations.

The last Olympics caused some discussion about the fairness of allowing a runner to use artifi cial lower legs. The legs are springy but do allow running at an almost normal gait. The major question should be whether the use of springs allows storage of

energy that is returned at a later time in the running cycle to improve effi ciency. The writer studied this problem extensively years ago in regard to man-powered ornithopters (fl apping wing airplanes). A human was placed in the body of a light airplane that had springs connecting the wings to the body.

Consider fi rst the human body creating work by moving through a repetitive, closed cycle of motion with no springs involved. There is a portion of the cycle where positive work is done by the human (perhaps by lifting a weight), and then a wasteful part of the cycle where the human restores the system to the unloaded state (perhaps by lowering a weight). The major source of ineffi ciency occurs in the unloading part of the cycle when any energy created is rejected as heat.

In an attempt to optimize this system by including springs, a human can move spring-loaded components and the springs can return energy from the unloading part of the cycle. There are intricate time phasing requirements in analyzing any such closed cycle of motion. To optimize, one typically must resonate the system, i.e. operate it in a way that the human body and the springs are at a frequency that allows the most effi cient recovery of energy from the unloading to the loading part of the cycle.

For running, one should fi rst look at the amount the center of gravity of the human moves up and down. The biggest loss in normal (springless) motion is when gravity pushes the system back to the unloaded state. Indeed, evolution has optimized the human walking and running gaits to minimize vertical motion of the human center of gravity.

In viewing the running style of Pistorius from South Africa, it was interesting that his head and body did not move much in the vertical direction. In fact, his head was remarkably stable, moving only horizontally. It was more diffi cult to see his center of gravity due to all the moving parts. Nevertheless, one can conclude that in this case, there is little chance of an unfair advantage due the springiness of his legs.

To complete the picture, however, one should analyze the smaller scale systems in the body, such as whether the springiness of the ankle was unfairly returning energy that would normally be lost in heat. This would be expected to be a smaller effect.

In conclusion, it appears fair to allow springs in human running motion, especially if the center of gravity of the human/spring combination does not move much in the vertical direction.

As a side issue, the concept of introducing a springy racing track surface is highly suspect. One could tune the human/track combination to reduce energy loss, and this might allow new, bounding gaits to be effi cient.

SHARED STORIES

FROM AERO ALUMSWEIGHTLESS WOLVERINESEd Van Cise, BS ’00, NASA Flight Director

I never expected the extent to which my experiences at U-M Aero would affect my life and career. Through a co-op between NASA Johnson Space Center and the Aero department, I got to realize my dream of working at NASA. Through my experiences leading a team of UMich undergraduates to build and fl y an experiment in NASA’s Reduced Gravity Student Flight Opportunities Program, I not only got to lead a team that created the fi rst single walled carbon nanotubes in reduced gravity but I also gained invaluable teamwork and leadership skills. Those skills and experiences directly affected my career growth and career path and set the stage for my selection as a Flight Director in 2009. When I got certifi ed, I took the call sign “Carbon Flight” in part as tribute to the extent of impact my Aero experiences helped me prepare for becoming a NASA Flight Director.

USE EVERYTHING YOU KNOW TO PURSUE YOUR OBJECTIVES David R. Kassoy, PhD ’65, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at University of Colorado, Boulder

Subsequent to the fi rst 29 years of my academic career, mostly at the University of Colorado, Boulder, I decided to pursue an administrative opportunity in the Graduate School, with responsibility for many aspects of the campus research enterprise. Eventually I spent a total of 12 years in a succession of administrative posts, dealing with Budget and Planning in the campus Academic Affairs offi ce (1988–1997) and then with the use of technology to promote educational programs in the University of Colorado President’s offi ce (1997–2000). I never thought that I’d use my research skills in my administrative life. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the analytic methods used to do original and creative research could be used to solve the organizational and personnel problems that arose on a daily basis. Furthermore, it turned out that the psychology courses, (industrial psychology) I took as a graduate student facilitated my ability to work with diverse members of the faculty and often solve their professional problems. The bottom line: Use everything you know to pursue your objectives.

REMINISCENCESPaul Harrison, PhD ’70

It may be of interest that AeroVironment, the maker of the small drones for the US Government, was started by Paul McCready, (bicycled powered airplane, etc.), Paul probably got the idea from a model airplane put together by graduate Arthur Tingle and local bicycle shop owner Fred Beaver. He was very interested in it at the time. It had an over 6’ wing span and was launched from a moving vehicle. It carried a thermocouple and a hair hygrometer! How primitive! “Paul Mac” was a frequent visitor to Ann Arbor and was a personal friend of mine. He asked me to be the president of his then new company, but I was the director at Chicago Environmental Control Commission at the time and was concerned about the management of a start-up science endeavor. I later joined Meteorological Research Inc. (the fi rst McCready Co.) as the director of Industrial Air Pollution Studies. Paul never forgave me for not joining AeroVironment but we remained friends and associates whose love for creativity and creative people was always a passion. Using aircraft to map air pollution movements was my specialty at the time. The technique was lifted from an NSF proposal written by myself and E. Wendel Hewson, (the founder of the Meteorology Department in the late 50’s) and also used by Paul, especially at MRI. He was a perfecter of good ideas and a leader of creative people. (Paul was a grad from CALTECH but hung around Ann Arbor a lot so what does that tell you?).

SUPERSONIC NOZZLES FOR BETTER FUEL ATOMIZATIONPaul Trame, BSE ’65, MSE ’67, Senior Development Engineer at Ford Motor Company

After being laid off from Williams International (builder of the Cruise Missile, and small Jet Engines) when we lost several follow-on programs with Russia’s collapse in 1991, I found a job at Ford Motor Company’s Advanced V-Engine group. One of the things they were working on was better fuel atomization for cleaner emissions at start-up. I was able to use my knowledge of supersonic nozzles to design a small (.050 inch throat) nozzle that provided 20 to 40 micron particles—much better than the 200 micron spray from the fuel injectors.

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING CHANGED MY LIFE David Schmitt, BS ’81, Senior Project Engineer

My story is about the benefi t of career counseling at U-M and developing good analytic and writing skills.As an undergrad, I was getting an Astronomy degree, and fi nally realized at the beginning of my senior year, that I did not want to pursue Astronomy in grad school and at the end of my senior year I would be unemployable. My next stop was career counseling. I explained my dilemma and we sat down to see what Master’s programs Michigan had that interested me and were a match with all the math and physics I took as an undergrad. I selected Aerospace engineering and it changed my life. I loved the grad school, the instructors, the classes, and found my calling. I got my Master’s in Aero and started with a company that met my personality and have been here happily for almost 32 years. I think critical to that was realizing I do not have the personality to be a manager. It does not interest me at all. And my company has a dual career path; one for those who want to pursue management and one for those who do not. I did use my Aero education directly for many years as I was doing orbital analysis for my company. I now work as an engineering liaison between various agencies and my analytic and writing skills are critical to my daily work. My math classes were critical to developing my analytic skills. And I still have and use the Strunk and White book one of my Astronomy teachers required we use to improve our writing skills. Every engineer has to be able to write and communicate. In fact, communication skills is one of the criteria in our annual reviews!

On June 22–23, 2013, preceding the 21st AIAA Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Conference, an international symposium was held in San Diego, California, to celebrate the careers of CFD champions Antony Jameson (Stanford), Phil Roe (U-M Aero) and Bram van Leer (U-M Aero emeritus). Together, these three have been responsible for most major improvements in basic CFD methods of aerospace engineering and other disciplines during the past 40+ years. This “JRV Symposium” titled “Four Decades of CFD: Looking Back and Moving Forward” was organized by Z. J. Wang, Chair of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Kansas (KU), with support from AFOSR and KU.

The Symposium featured speakers and attendees, all by invitation, from countries in America, Europe and Asia. The invited talks were arranged in three sessions, each dedicated to one of the honorees; in a fourth session the honorees themselves gave individual presentations and thereafter formed a panel accepting questions from the audience. At the closing banquet many attendees took the opportunity to speak about their encounters and collaborations with the honorees.

Among the speakers there were several U-M graduates: David Levy (Cessna, PhD Aero 1990), Hiroaki Nishikawa (NIA, PhD Aero 2000), Chris Depcik (KU, PhD ME 2003) and Paul Ullrich (UC Davis, PhD AOSS 2011).

BRAM VAN LEERPROFESSOR EMERITUS OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING

KATE MCALPINEMICHIGAN ENGINEERING

A 50-foot-long tube installed last week in the new Gas Dynamics Imaging Lab in Aerospace Engineering will take experimental fl ight research at the University of Michigan deep into hypersonic territory. “Scramjet” technology, the focus of the research to be conducted in the lab, could underpin reusable space rockets, drones that could launch from the US and reach any location on the planet in under three hours, and per-haps even a 3-hour fl ight from New York to Tokyo.

Scramjets, or supersonic combustion ramjet en-gines, have been in the works for half a century, but even today they struggle to fl y under their own power for more than a few minutes. Unlike tradi-tional jet engines, combustion in a scramjet requires neither a compressor nor a spark. When fl ying at supersonic speeds, the air compresses and heats up as it is funneled through the engine, causing the fuel to spontaneously combust. “It’s exciting because it’s an area where almost everything is unknown,” said James Driscoll, the Arthur B. Mo-dine Professor of Aerospace Engineering. Even in fi fty years, engineers around the world have only produced a handful of engines that can handle air rushing through them at supersonic speeds.

Candle in the wind

One of the major stumbling blocks is “engine un-start.” Just like it sounds, the jet is burning fuel and then the fl ame dies. The culprit, explained Driscoll, is the pattern of shockwaves that the high-speed air produces inside the engine. These waves can spill out the mouth of the engine, preventing fresh air from entering and continuing the combustion.

Another problem is maintaining stable combustion while air whips through the engine. It’s popularly compared to keeping a match lit in a hurricane, but Mirko Gamba, an assistant professor of aerospace

engineering who is building the new lab, explained that the problem isn’t just the wind blowing out the fl ame – it’s the fuel blowing out of the engine. In a 1.5-meter-long engine, the fuel would leave a millisecond after it was injected if the engine’s design didn’t force it to stick around. “Within that millisecond, you have to mix the air and fuel at a molecular level and burn it,” said Gamba. If the fuel isn’t thoroughly blended with the air, it won’t burn quickly enough.

To facilitate the mixing, engineers try to control how the air swirls, or forms vortices, inside the engine. “If you just use the natural way to mix the fuel and air so they can react, it would be impos-sible,” he said. “Vortices can enhance mixing.”

Supersonic laboratories

Driscoll has been exploring supersonic fl ight for nearly 40 years. His lab contains a wind tunnel that produces fl ows up to Mach 5, or fi ve times the speed of sound, and can sustain them for as long as 30 minutes. These fl ows can be hot, up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit for simulating conditions inside an engine for combustion studies, or cold, mimicking the fl ow patterns of air entering the engine.

“A hypersonic vehicle starts at Mach 5. Mirko Gamba’s facility will go to Mach 13 fl ight condi-tions with temperatures that can be as high as 8,000 degrees Fahrenheit,” said Driscoll. “We only have a few facilities in the world that can simulate those high temperatures.” The price of attaining those high speeds and temperatures is time – Gamba’s lab will have only a millisecond or so to conduct their experiments. Rather than pushing or pulling air through the tube, as occurs in a wind tunnel, their “expansion tube” will rely on pressure differences and shockwaves to create extreme speeds.

NEW HYPERSONIC

LAB ON THE WAY

16

Firestorm in a bottle

The expansion tube is a long metal tube divided into three sections by metal seals. In the fi rst, a lightweight gas such as helium is pumped up to a pressure tens or hundreds of times that of Earth’s atmosphere. At the designed pressure, the metal seal breaks. Then the gas rushes into the middle chamber, which contains the test gas—often air for scramjet studies.

When the high-pressure gas hits the low-pressure air, at a fraction of Earth’s atmospheric pressure, it sends a shockwave through the air. The shockwave raises the air’s temperature and pressure and pushes it toward the third section. When the shockwave reaches the second seal, it breaks through, sending another shock-wave through the third section—a lightweight gas at very low pressure.

These shockwaves are each born with a twin, known as an expansion wave, traveling in the opposite direc-tion. As the expansion wave moves back through the high-temperature air, it will turn some of the thermal energy into motion, whipping it to hypersonic speeds while retaining temperatures in the thousands of de-grees Fahrenheit.

The heated, hypersonic gas rushes into the fourth and fi nal section where, for example, a test model of a sc-ramjet engine might be located. In this millisecond that conditions mimic the interior of a scramjet, Gamba’s team will inject fuel into the model and watch it mix with the air. Lasers will illuminate particles introduced to track the motion of the fl uid, and from their move-ments, the team will map the streams and swirls of air. “It is kind of like observing the motion of leaves out-side of your window as they are moved around by the wind,” said Gamba.

The chemicals in the air, such as oxygen or fuel mol-ecules, or the products of combustion can also be traced. Different molecules absorb and emit different wavelengths of light, and Gamba’s team will use this identifi cation technique to study where the unmixed fuel and air congregate—the fuel that is well mixed with oxygen reveals itself by combusting.

Predicting scramjet performance

Between Gamba’s lab and Driscoll’s, experimental supersonic fl ight research in Aerospace will be able to explore a wide range of conditions that could exist inside scramjet engines, and outside the vehicle. The data they collect about the behavior of the air and fuel then feeds computer simulations developed by aero-space professors Philip Roe, Iain Boyd and Kenneth Powell.

Used by NASA and Air Force researchers, these simu-lations can help with the development of scramjet de-signs that avoid engine unstart, disperse and burn the fuel quickly and don’t overheat. “Together we make a strong team,” said Driscoll.

WELCOME DR. FORBES AND DR. DURAISAMY

``I am very excited to be joining the University of Michigan Department of Aerospace

Engineering, the first aerospace engineering program in the United States of America.

Without a doubt the Department of Aerospace Engineering has had a profound impact

on aviation, space exploration, and planetary exploration at both the industry and

government levels. I look forward to working with the excellent faculty, students, and

staff in the department.”

On the evening of Friday, September 27, alumni and guests gathered to celebrate the opening of the Clarence “Kelly” John-son Exhibit at the François-Xavier Bagnoud (FXB) Building, home of the Aerospace Engineering Department at the Univer-sity of Michigan. Among the seventy in attendance were two members of John-son’s family – his stepson, John Horri-gan, and step-grandson, Cole Horrigan.

The display boasts twelve unique items of memorabilia from Johnson’s estate, il-lustrating his distinguished career and the many important contributions he made to his fi eld. They include a letter from Presi-dent Ronald Reagan, several medals and awards, and a signed photograph with Amelia Earhart.

Considered to be one of America’s greatest aircraft designers, Clarence “Kelly” Johnson received a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Univer-sity of Michigan in 1933. Even as a student at the university, Johnson’s genius showed when he pointed out a stability problem with Lockheed’s Model 10 aircraft, which he was able to fi x shortly after starting at the company. At Lockheed Martin, he contributed signifi cantly to the development of a number of aircraft before becoming Vice President of Advanced Development Projects, later renamed Skunk Works.

Department chair Daniel Inman, honored with the title Clarence “Kelly” Johnson Professor of Aerospace Engineering,

opened the ceremony with remarks on the history of the U-M Aerospace Department and Johnson’s impact on the depart-ment’s success and legacy. He was followed by Leland Nicolai, who received his PhD from the University of Michigan Aerospace program in 1968. Nicolai served as a colonel in the United States Air Force, after which he spent 28 years at Skunk Works. As vet-erans of the aerospace industry, both speakers offered uniquely knowledgeable perspectives on Johnson’s impact on the history and future of aerospace engineering. Under Johnson’s leadership, Skunk Works developed some of the most advanced aircraft in the world, including the U-2 spy plane and SR-71 Blackbird, both of which Johnson played a signifi cant role in designing. Johnson also, at the request of the Central Intelligence Agency, initiated the construction of the air base in Nevada later to be known as Area 51. Throughout his career, he had a leading role in developing 40 of the world’s most renowned aircraft, over half of which were of his own design. For his accomplishments he was awarded the National Medal of Science and the Medal of Freedom by President Lyndon Johnson. “One of our many accomplished graduates,” Inman said of Johnson, “became a legend.”

During this academic year, the 100th year of aerospace at U-M, Johnson’s memorabilia will be on display in the atrium of FXB. “We are honored that we can claim Kelly Johnson as one of our own,” said Inman. Since Johnson’s time at the university, the Aerospace department, which offered its fi rst course in 1914, has risen to #3 in the nation for both undergraduate and graduate programs.

Save the Dates—June 26 & 27

A camp for Michigan Engineering

alumni and their children/grandchildren.

Registration opens mid-February.

Alumni and children watched with anticipation as their rockets shot up into a sunny sky. The pairs were anxious to see if they had succeeded in assembling the straw rockets from scratch, as many of them had never done anything like it before. For some, it was their fi rst exposure to the engineering technology.

It was a scene that played out all across the University of Michigan’s North Campus August 9, as ninety Michigan Engineering alumni brought their children or grandchildren to a day-long summer camp. The “Xplore Engineering” event offered a day of experiential learning through a selection of nine different workshops, which covered topics ranging from environmental engineering to robotics.

“Gavin Ray and I had a great time at the event,” said Steven Furr (BSE Aero ’71), who attended the event with his grandson Gavin Ray. “On the way home, he said that was ‘…the best day of my life Grandpa,’ not once but several times.” Furr, President of SJ Furr Consulting LLC and self-proclaimed “long-time supporter of such opportunities,” said he registered for the event as soon as he heard about it.

“I believe the college of engineering should hold more events like this as it gives the children the opportunity to interact and to better understand what the engineering fi eld is all about and that they can make a difference,” said Furr. “We had a lot of fun and he learned a lot more about what engineers do. The presenters were clearly very much into what they do and excited about sharing it with the kids—and adults.”

The event was organized by MconneX, a U-M College of Engineering initiative aimed at offering opportunities for alumni to reconnect with the Michigan Engineering community. It included the workshops, lunch with the Solar Car team and a tour of Crisler Arena and Michigan Stadium.

“We asked alumni what types of things they would like to see to get them re-engaged,” said Sandra Hines, MconneX manager and organizer of the event. “One of the top items was something they could do with their children and grandchildren. So we started this day-long summer camp as an opportunity for them to come back to campus and share their engineering passion.”

Alumni came from as far as Texas and California to participate in the event. Each pair, which included a child or grandchild entering fi fth to eighth grade, took part in three workshops throughout the day. They could be seen in a variety of tasks across campus, including breaking bones in biomedical engineering, building bridges in civil engineering, walking across non-Newtonian fl uids in chemical engineering and driving underwater vehicles in the refl ecting pool.

“It went great! Everyone showed up early and excited. I’m very happy with the response, especially given that this is our fi rst year. We brought 180 people onto campus!” said Hines. “A few participants were commenting on how much the campus has changed. One alumnus said he remembered only three buildings when he was a student, and said now it was ‘like a miniature city’.”

Hines plans to hold the camp again next summer, and is thinking about scaling up to a longer event. “Based on the tremendous response this year, we are defi nitely excited about doing it again next year. We are even thinking about expanding it to a multi-day program.”

M-Fly designs their plane in the Fall semester, using design programs available on CAEN computers and programs donated to the team by sponsors. In the Winter semester, the team builds the new plane in the Wilson Student Team Project Center. M-Fly competes annually in SAE Aero Design. They won fi rst place for the written design report and oral presentation in 2013 and won fi rst place for the oral presentation in 2012. The team plans to compete in SAE Aero Design East in Marietta, Georgia this April.

MJET

MJET is a student design team at the University of Michigan. Our goal is to design, build and test various forms of aerospace propulsion and propulsion related components. We aim to provide members with practical, hands-on experience related to aerospace propulsion. Each year we take on a variety of different projects and are open to new ideas. The group is open to students of all majors, and no previous experience with propulsion is required.

Our team represented the University of Michigan in the Aerospace Propulsion Outreach Program competition held at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base last year. We ranked 2nd best in the competition among more than 6 universities to design and build an exhaust-driven fan for a small gas turbine engine.

MASA

The Michigan Aeronautical Science Association (MASA) is a student project team that builds rockets for competitions as well as does student led research in high power rocketry. MASA is competing in the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) for the second time and will launch in late June. MASA received a 5th place ranking last year in the basic category and hopes to achieve a higher ranking in the advanced category this year.MASA is reaching new heights this year with an altitude goal of 25,000 ft. The rocket will have a completely student designed and fabricated carbon-fi ber body and a student designed hybrid propulsion system. As MASA’s membership grows, we are fi nding new areas to involve students in the hands-on design, build, and launch processes of high power rocketry. Most of MASA’S work is done in the Wilson Center. Their project space is in the 5x7 wind tunnel area.

X-HALE

High-altitude long-endurance (HALE) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have emerged as a desirable solution for several specialized aerospace applications including communications, atmospheric research, and military surveillance. The design requirements for these platforms lead to confi gurations with very high aspect-ratio wings. These are far more fl exible and sensitive to disturbance than conventional aircraft, resulting in complex geometrically nonlinear responses that involve tightly coupled aeroelasticity and fl ight mechanic behavior.

Due to this inherently nonlinear behavior, new computational tools are being developed at U-M and few other institutions to analyze and design these vehicles. With any computational tool, experimental data are needed to validate the codes. Unfortunately, no aeroelastic experimental data in free fl ight is openly available, so a research program has been ongoing at U-M to develop an experiment from which we can collect such data. We have designed and built the X-HALE, a 6-meter-span remotely piloted aircraft. X-HALE is being tested to gather unique coupled nonlinear aeroelastic/fl ight mechanics data and to serve as a platform to test new control laws for very fl exible aircraft. Multiple testing platforms are part of the experimental effort. The X-HALE Risk Reduction Vehicle is a lightly instrumented X-HALE airframe for handling and performance tests that underwent multiple fl ights in the last two years. The X-HALE Aeroelastic Test Vehicle, currently under fi nal hardware and software integration phase, is equipped with a full suite of sensors in order to capture the intended aeroelastic data. Flight tests of the X-HALE ATV are scheduled for Summer 2014. The results of this study should signifi cantly impact the understanding of various nonlinear phenomena present in this class of vehicle. And this is not limited to HALE aircraft, but it is also applicable to future commercial transport aircraft, e.g., NASA N+3 Program vision.

Pictures, quotes and experiences from alumni at the 2013 Michigan Engineering Homecoming Weekend dominated the social media spectrum October 4 and 5, as attendees documented their weekend using the #UmichEngin hashtag. The weekend’s events included an opportunity to meet the college’s student teams, including Solar Car, MRacing, BLUElab and Supermileage. Alumni also attended lunches at their former departments, the annual Alumni Awards dinner and recognition and a State of the College update by the Robert J. Vlasic Dean of Engineering David C. Munson, Jr. Munson’s speech ran through the highlights from the last year, including student ratios, faculty additions and college initiatives. Included among those was the Engineering Plus program, which encourages creativity in engineering. “There are well-known studies that document how much creativity a college student loses as they go through their undergrad education,” said Munson.“Some of the most creative people I know are in kindergarten. As we get more focused as experts, a lot of that creativity goes away.” Munson also addressed the future of the college, including the upcoming fundraising campaign to be launched in November. In response to a question about new buildings on campus, Munson said “I believe North Campus is the future of THE campus.”

SANDRO SALGUIEROAEROSPACE UNDERGRAD

AAIA SCITECH CONFERENCE

January 15, 2014 marked a special occasion for the Aerospace Engineering department. On that day, the department hosted its fi rst public event in celebration of its 100th anniversary at the AIAA SciTech conference in National Harbor, Mary-

land. Over 150 students, faculty members, and industry representatives stopped by the recep-tion event to share some desserts with fel-low members of the aerospace community.

The AIAA SciTech conference is one of the largest of its kind. Aerospace professionals from all over the world gather to present research papers and hear about the latest progress made in their fi elds of study—it truly is an outstanding event in both rel-evance and size. As an undergraduate student who was attending the conference for the fi rst time, I was both impressed and humbled by the work being pre-sented by different aerospace professionals. Many of these professionals were members of technical committees, and they had come to SciTech to dis-cuss their work with peers. In fact, I found that most of the people who attended the conference were there because of the opportunity for interaction.

For those in technical committees, which are groups that represent the various areas of research within aerospace engineering, there was some feeling of meaningfulness associated with the ability to dis-cuss research with similarly oriented scholars.

Being part of the Michigan community at an international event like SciTech fi lled me with a greater sense of inclusion and meaningfulness. It made me remember that because I am a Michigan Wolverine, I will always be part of something bigger than myself. The feeling of inclusion that I received from our reception event was further increased by the opportunity to interact with alumni from our department. As students, my peers and I rarely have a chance to meet the people who walked in the FXB years before we did, and who helped to shape the culture of our department. Coming to know them as successful professionals in the aerospace industry during the reception event had a powerful motivational effect—it showed me a tangible answer to the question “Where can my Michigan degree take me?”

Ultimately, our SciTech reception event was a success, and it made me eager to be present at upcoming Centennial events. As the oldest aerospace engineering department in the nation, we will celebrate this year with all the passion that inspires us every day as aerospace engineers.
