Asteroid Detection This project evaluates the exploitation of Distant Retrograde Orbits for the detection of potentially hazardous near Earth asteroids.

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has published a simple, parametric method in the German Aeronautical Handbook (Luftfahrt Technisches Handbuch - LTH) to estimate the mass of major aircraft components. The method is called: "Large Civil Jet Transport (MTOM > 40t), Statistical Mass Estimation, MA401". The project compares the method with the one given in "Torenbeek" with respect to approach and accuracy.

Internal combustion engine is a heat engine that converts chemical energy in a fuel to mechanical energy, available on a rotating output shaft. Turbocharged compression ignition in a CI engine starts when air-fuel mixture self-ignites due to high temperature in the combusion chamber caused by high compression. It is widely used in Automobiles, Trucks, Locomotives, Marine vessels etc.
