Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Experimental assessment of a double-element Clark-Y airfoil as a flap for its lift capabilities at high Reynolds numbers   Order a copy of this article
    by Aakash Mali, Sujit Man Shrestha, Sunil Belbase 
    Abstract: Introduction of secondary wing elements allows the overall aircraft system to attain higher lift coefficients even at lower cruise speeds. Introduction of such secondary wing elements allow the overall aircraft system to attain higher lift coefficients even at lower cruise speeds. Experiments involved under this paper observes and works around the lift behaviour of Clark-Y airfoil system through comprehensive understanding of localised pressure coefficients at a considerably higher Reynolds numbers up to 54,000 and presents a study summary of its lift coefficient for flap orientation up to an attack angle of 15 while the main element remains at 0 throughout the experiment. The study was conducted by accumulating static pressure data from multiple sensors of a pressure transducer at given Reynolds number inside a wind tunnel whose air velocities reached a maximum of 8 m/s. The results show signs of stall right after 10 flap AOA with lift coefficient (CL) dropping below 0 only after 12 of flap AOA. Among all prevalent orientations, flap AOA at 5 promised greatest pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces and caused the lift coefficient (CL) to reach a maximum, i.e., 2.33.
    Keywords: Clark-Y; double-element; high reynolds number; lift capability.

  • Sub-6 GHz 5G NR MIMO performance for air-to-ground communication in low-altitude aerospace drone operations with high workload   Order a copy of this article
    by Anand Swaminathan, Aarthi Leshmi Thilagaraj, Jenitha Vincy Jebaraj 
    Abstract: This study evaluates sub-6 GHz 5G new radio (NR) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) performance for air-to-ground (A2G) communication in low-altitude drone operations under high workload. MIMO configurations with 232 antennas are analysed in the 3.33.8 GHz band (centred at 3.6 GHz) with 60 MHz bandwidth (BW) per drone. Using the 3rd generation partnership project technical report (3GPP TR 38.901) urban macro (Uma) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) channel model, simulations incorporate Rician fading and Doppler effects to capture high mobility. This work evaluates a system of three drones at different altitudes, each requiring a 10 Mbps data rate, utilising quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), and zero-forcing equalisation. Performance is evaluated using downlink and uplink block error rates (BLER), along with throughput, resource allocation, and buffer status. Results provide insights into optimising reliable 5G NR MIMO links for BW-limited communication.
    Keywords: 5G new radio; MIMO performance; air-to-ground; A2G communication; UAV mobility; Rician fading.
