Thiyagarajakumar Ramaswamy's Leadership Stage Aircraft Nacelle Design Project

Saturday, November 17, 2012

Introduction

The Aero engine Nacelle plays an important role on engine and aircraft performance. Since the high BPR which contributes to a significant improvement in engine performance results in an increment in engine size, the nacelle drag and weight for high BPR turbofans will increase. To keep the benefits of high BPR engines, it is necessary to design a nacelle of optimum aerodynamic performance and minimum weight. In this chapter, the processes of nacelle geometry design and drag calculation for GTF-11 engine are presented.

In this project we are going to explain about the

* What is Nacelle ?
* Types of Nacelle
* Functions
* Components
* Nacelle Systems
* Aerodynamics Considerations
* Design Consideration for Nacelle
* Nacelle Design Methods
* Nacelle Drag Estimation Methods
* Structural Analysis
* Materials for Nacelle Manufacturing
* Conclusion

About Our Leadership Stage

- Thiyagarajakumar Ramaswamy

Leadership is an art and all people need a stage to perform on. For actors, the stage is a theatre, for painters and sculptors the stage is a gallery, and for leaders the stage is our life.

" All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players........"

Leaders perform a critical role on the world's stage, but what is more important is the foundation, that they are standing on which gives them a platform or stage to lead from.

The elements that make up "Our Leadership S.T.A.G.E" include:

Leadership that Sacrifices

Leadership that Trusts

Leadership that Acts

Leadership that Grows

Leadership that Effects

Leadership that Acts takes Center Stage in the show and it's supported by the other elements. This Component is the one where you followers will see the sacrifice you are making, the trust you are building,the growth you are developing, and the effect you are having on your team or organization. The Star performer or the actor at center stage can easily forget his supporting cast. Similarly, the demise of a leader is when they enjoy the center stage but forget the other elements of leadership that support their leading role.

Our Leadership S.T.A.G.E is a helpful tool that reminds us of what we should be standing upon as we live out our leadership roles.Yes, as leaders, we need to act or take center stage and lead from the front, but that action is shaped by sacrifice, trust,growth and our effects on others.
