High-Speed Aircraft Stability and Control Metrics by Timothy T. Takahashi, Jack A. Griffin, Ramana V. Grandhi

“…We demonstrate their applicability using published ground test, computation, and flight test data from the Bell X-2, North American X-15, Martin X-24A, Northrop HL-10, Lockheed Blackbird (YF-12/SR-71), and North American XB-70 as well as the Rockwell Space Shuttle Orbiter. The relative success of the X-15 and Blackbird and the performance limitations of the others indicate the need to scrutinize lateral-directional stability at the preliminary design phase. …”

Long period fiber gratings in anti-resonant hollow core fiber by Ligang Huang, Yanxiang Zhao, Yujia Li, Shunli Liu, Hailin Zhou, Lei Gao, Leilei Shi, Guiyao Zhou, Tao Zhu

“…Benefiting from the low thermal sensitivity and radiation resistance characteristic of AR-HCFs, this grating can be utilized in extreme environments, particularly in the high-radiation environment, such as nuclear power plants and space shuttles. Additionally, due to the characteristics of AR-HCFs, including low latency, low dispersion, low nonlinearity, and high damage threshold, this device also serves for long-distance fiber communication and high-power laser pulse shaping.…”
