Fiber/Metal composite technology for future primary aircraft structures
TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and material considerations for fiber/metal composite technology for future primary and secondary aircraft structures were discussed, and it was concluded that a composite technology approach, in which both metals and fibers are combined to form a tailored structural material, can lead to significant weight reduction in future structural applications.

Aerodynamics of cross-flow fans and their application to aircraft propulsion and flow control
Thong Q. Dang,Bushnell Peter R +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fundamental aerodynamics and flow regions of cross-flow fans using a simple mean-line analysis were examined, and experimental data for fans intended for aircraft application were reviewed and compared to calculations using unsteady Navier-Stokes methods, showing the state-of-the-art in flow field and performance prediction capability.
