Design Innovations in Waterway Transport: Leveraging Horizontal Buoyancy

2025-01-5080

12/15/2025

This paper attempts to introduce a unique water transport system by using open-bottomed air tanks in a water transport vehicle and using horizontal buoyancy instead of vertical buoyancy. This study explains how a certain amount of horizontal buoyancy is generated by attaching open-bottomed air vessels to commonly used small watercraft. In contrast to the fact that vehicles generally require a lot of water for all water transport, this new mode of transport can use a minimal amount of water, as appropriate for the weight, through a sufficient literature survey. The proposed water–air–based vehicle integrates open-bottomed air vessels with a hydrofoil system to generate horizontal propulsion. A model analysis is conducted to explain how the horizontal buoyancy force generated by the air vessels is related to the vertical buoyancy force, and their values at different depths are tabulated. The vehicle model can achieve a maximum speed of 1.5 m/s, handling 20–70 kg payload, highlighting

Identification of Runway Friction Coefficient Using Extended Kalman Filter

09-13-02-0012

12/11/2025

Aircraft operations during landing or takeoff depend strongly on runway surface conditions. Safe runway operations depend on the tire-to-runway frictional force and the drag offered by the aircraft. In the present research article, a methodology is developed to estimate the braking friction coefficient for varied runway conditions accurately in real-time. To this end, the extended Kalman filtering technique (EKF) is applied to sensor-measured data using the on-ground mathematical model of aircraft and wheel dynamics. The aircraft velocity and wheel angular velocity are formulated as system states, and the friction coefficient is estimated as an augmented state. The relation between the friction coefficient and wheel slip ratio is established using both simulated and actual ground roll data. Also, the technique is evaluated with the simulated data as well as real aircraft taxi data. The accuracy of friction estimation, with and without the measurement of normal reaction force on the
