Vijftig jaar vliegtuigbouwkunde in Delft

Abstract: Dit Jubileumboek wordt uitgegeven ter gelegenheid van hel 50-jarig bestaan van de vliegtuigbouwkundige opleiding in Delft en hel negende lustrum van de Vliegtuigbouwkundige Studievereniging 'Leonardo da Vinci', Het boek heeft niet de pretentie een gedegen geschiedkundig overzicht Ie geven van de historie van de vliegtuigbouwkundige opleiding en van de studievereniging. In een 18-tal artikelen worden door medewerkers, oud-medewerkers en studenten uiteenlopende aspekten van het reilen en zeilen van de vliegtuigbouwkunde in Delft belicht. Het is een wat bonte verzameling geworden. waarvan wij niettemin verwachten dat het lezen ervan genoegen zal verschaffen aan hen, die he! hebben meegemaakt en dat het voor de jongeren interessant genoeg is om er kennis van te nemen. Hopelijk zal de inhoud ook voor komende generaties van waarde blijken te zijn.

The Development Of Integrated Professional Skills In Aerospace Engineering Through Problem Based Learning In Design Projects

Abstract: Aeroplanes and space missions have always had an enormous appeal to the imagination of the general public. The desire of man to fly dates back to mythology in Ovid’s Daedalus and Icarus and many proud parents and grandparents tell their children about having seen the first man set foot on the moon. And as two bicycle engineers proved 100 years ago this year, engineers are detrimental in making these major achievements for mankind possible.

Ontology based chaining of distributed geographic information systems

Abstract: For the last decade, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have provided planners and geo scientists with tools to analyse, maintain and present geo spatial information (information that is, in one way or the other, referenced to the earth surface). In the early days of GIS, its software systems were sold as monolithic systems. As the software became more mature, the systems were offered as modules containing a module with basic functionality and a variety of plug-in modules with extended functions. Main software producers came to realise that specific users who wanted to customise their systems needed a development environment with smaller system building blocks (components). Today, a product like ESRI’s ArcObjects provides the software elements to create an entire GIS. However these building blocks in themselves do not provide executable GIS analysis capabilities, they have to be assembled by a programmer. Unfortunately, these ‘GIS objects’ are of little use to the common GIS end-users whose interest is to apply certain common GIS processing functions to give solution to their geographic problems. GIS applications can be characterised by the wide variety of datasets (themes and data structure) and the often complex, but reusable operation-data chains. Many GIS applications, in particular in environments that require ad hoc queries, can greatly benefit from the use of interoperable components. To enable on demand component chaining we need data components and software components that are well defined and well described in terms of functionality, together with a user interface that facilitates the user-interpretation of these descriptions. Component-based applications have been around for some time, but their deployment in GIS is still in its infancy. This can be explained by the fact that GISs have to deal with complex (spatial) data types and software manufacturers tightly couple their functional parts with internal data structures. 2.

80 Years of Aerospace Engineering Education in the Netherlands

Abstract: This year, 2020, the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands celebrates its 80th birthday. This paper describes the history of the department since its founding in early 1940, just before the start of World War II in the Netherlands, until present day. The paper will highlight how its research and education developed within the socio-economic context of the Netherlands and the developments in aerospace over the past 80 years.
