An Automated Emergency Airport and Off-Airport Landing Site Selector

We present a novel landing site selector capable of selecting suitable landing sites (airport and off-airport) for emergency landings. In a first step, information from several databases which includes, for instance, elevation data, is gathered by our system. Then, this information is processed in order to create a list of potential landing sites ranked according to several factors, such as the characteristics of the runway, the type of emergency or the current weather. A generic scenario and case studies have been defined in order to test the landing site selector, ultimately leading to a series of trajectories—generated with an emergency trajectory generator presented in previous publications—safely leading the aircraft to one of the landing sites chosen by our system.1The work presented in this paper has received funding from the Clean Sky 2 Joint Undertaking (JU) under grant agreement No 864771, corresponding to the SafeNcy project (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/864771).

Metal–insulator transitions in (V1-xCrx)2O3 thin films deposited by reactive direct current magnetron co-sputtering

International audienceVanadium oxides are promising candidates for application in memory devices based on the control of their various metal–insulator transitions. We report here on the thin films deposition of the strongly correlated system (V1-xCrx)2O3 over a wide range of composition 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.60 by reactive DC magnetron co-sputtering of pure V and Cr targets. Thin films were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and transport measurements. These studies demonstrates the existence of compressive stress reaching 0.8 GPa in 200 nm thick films, whereas thicker 1 μm films exhibit lower internal stress. This compressive stress modifies significantly the phase diagram of the 200 nm films, shifting the critical chromium content triggering the bandwidth-controlled metal–insulator transition from x = 0.011 in unstressed films to more than 0.04. This work highlights the need for an accurate control of the Cr content and of the compressive stress to stabilize the Mott insulator phase in (V1-xCrx)2O3 thin film
