RUPA and Fiduciary Duty: The Texture of Relationship
The fiduciary duty rules in the Revised Uniform Partnership Act of 1994 (RUPA) are discussed. RUPA represents a major and sufficient move toward a contractarian statement of the law
Scramjet nozzle design and analysis as applied to a highly integrated hypersonic research airplane
Engine-nozzle airframe integration at hypersonic speeds was conducted by using a high-speed research aircraft concept as a focus. Recently developed techniques for analysis of scramjet-nozzle exhaust flows provide a realistic analysis of complex forces resulting from the engine-nozzle airframe coupling. By properly integrating the engine-nozzle propulsive system with the airframe, efficient, controlled and stable flight results over a wide speed range
Orbiter/launch system
The system includes reusable turbojet propelled booster vehicles releasably connected to a reusable rocket powered orbit vehicle. The coupled orbiter-booster combination takes off horizontally and ascends to staging altitude and speed under booster power with both orbiter and booster wings providing lift. After staging, the booster vehicles fly back to Earth for horizontal landing and the orbiter vehicle continues ascending to orbit
