Journal Article
Ninian, D., & Dakka, S. M. (2017). Design, development and testing of shape shifting wing model. Aerospace, 4(4), doi:10.3390/aerospace4040052

The design and development of morphing (shape shifting) aircraft wings—an innovative technology that has the potential to increase the aerodynamic efficiency and reduce noise signatures of aircrafts—was carried out. This research was focused on reduc... Read More about Design, development and testing of shape shifting wing model.

Theoretical Prediction of Critical Pyrolysate Mass Fluxes of a Material to Mitigate Spacecraft or Planetary Habitat Fire (2017)
Journal Article
Dakka, S. (2017). Theoretical Prediction of Critical Pyrolysate Mass Fluxes of a Material to Mitigate Spacecraft or Planetary Habitat Fire. Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, 70, Article 12-18

Future deep space exploration and plans for planetary settlements prompted researchers to address variety of challenging engineering problems. One problem is developing materials that can mitigate an event of interplanetary spacecraft fire. A numeric...
