  • Patent number: 11022518
    Abstract: A wall surface pressure measurement structure measures a wall surface pressure in a duct. Measurement holes are formed in different positions in a circumferential direction on an inspection surface of a wall surface of the duct. The inspection surface is orthogonal to an extending direction of the duct. A pressure chamber communicating with the measurement holes is provided on an outer peripheral side of the duct. The pressure chamber is coupled to a pressure gauge via a pressure pipe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2021
    Assignees: SUBARU CORPORATION, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency

  • Patent number: 7309046
    Abstract: Objectives to be achieved by this invention are the provision of a method for determining the ultimate fuselage shape of supersonic aircraft by integral modification of the upper and lower surface shapes of the fuselage, to reduce sonic boom without increasing wave drag, as well as the provision of such a fuselage front section shape. A method for determining the fuselage shape of an aircraft for supersonic flight of this invention employs different methods of determining the fuselage lower-surface shape and the fuselage upper-surface shape, whose upper and lower boundary is defined for each fuselage cross-section by the horizontal line including two points at which the fuselage width from the bilateral symmetry plane is maximum.
