System Design for High Speed Trajectory Changing of A Solar SailBy Nandu Jith P. J.
Abstract: Solar sails were created as a new form of satellite propulsion which uses the radiation pressure of the light from the stars or a laser to push ultrathin mirrors to high speeds. The new design incorporates ablative laser propulsion for trajectory changing of the probe at a desired point in space to be maneuvered towards the desired object. The design provides a combination of sail propulsion and laser propulsion systems …

Conceptual Design and Validation of Working of the Wing Morphing Mechanism Using BellowsBy Nandu Jith P. J., Akshay Pal
Abstract: The research on creating a smooth seamless wing which can literally morph its shape in mid-flight like birds has been in progress for many years. Such a wing will greatly enhance the flying capabilities of a normal aircraft. The wing can be morphed at different speeds to increase greater fuel efficiency. Our new design tends to create such a design without interfering with structural integrity of the wing. Keywords: Morphing …
