The focus of this competition is to develop innovative solutions for the future high-speed rail transport in Great Britain. Using innovative technologies and an optimised design, the Aeroliner3000 demonstrates that a comfortable double-decker high-speed train is a promising solution for the British rail network. The Aeroliner3000's double-decker carriages provide 20-30 percent more seats than the reference train used in the competition. Consistent use of lightweight construction techniques that reduce the weight of the car body by 16 percent and aerodynamic optimisation of the entire train reduce operating and maintenance costs and limit carbon dioxide and noise emissions.

Er wurde geplant als „HS2 Classic Compatible Train“ sowohl fur neu gebaute Hochgeschwindigkeitsstrecken mit Geschwindigkeiten von bis zu 400 km/h als auch fur viele bestehende britische Strecken. Die Streckenkapazitat kann um bis zu 30 Prozent erhoht werden, ohne dass die bestehende Infrastruktur geandert werden muss. Das gleiche gilt fur Bahnhofsaufenthalte von etwa funf Minuten. Der AeroLiner3000 ubertrifft die Erwartungen der ursprunglichen Ausschreibung des Wettbewerbs. Das Zugkonzept wurde entwickelt, um innerhalb von 7 bis 10 Jahren auf britischen Strecken Einsatz zu finden, den politischen Willen vorausgesetzt. Um der Schienenfahrzeug-Branche ein Gefuhl fur das Innendesign des AeroLiner3000 zu geben, finanziert das RSSB ein 1:1 Mock-Up, das derzeit unter Leitung von Andreas...

L'unite d'hopital de support de patient comprend une surface de support configuree pour recevoir un patient et un systeme de reanimation. La surface de support comporte un boitier retenu dans la surface de support qui contient une machine d'anesthesie, des reservoirs et des conduits associes, des dispositifs de perfusion, un systeme de commande automatique, une unite d'alimentation electrique et une ligne d'alimentation electrique. Le boitier comprend egalement des valves de distribution placees sur une surface externe du boitier, conjointement avec une interface de commande, et les valves d'alimentation et un raccord electrique de la ligne d'alimentation electrique sont places sur un element de raccordement concu pour etre monte sur un element de base configure pour fournir des gaz sous pression aux reservoirs et alimenter le systeme de commande.

(DLR) im Unterauftrag des Andreas Vogler Studio (AVS) durchgefuhrt wurde, beinhaltete unter anderem das Konzept der Beleuchtung von besonders niedrigen doppelstockigen Schienenfahrzeugen fur das britische Hochgeschwindigkeits- und Bestandsnetz. Die geringere Fahrzeughohe lasst nur sehr flach gebaute Leuchten zu. In das Beleuchtungskonzept sind die im Rahmen des DLR-Projekts „Next Generation Train“ (NGT) gesammelten Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse eingeflossen. Als Leuchtmittel wurden innovative organische LEDs (OLEDs) verwendet. Dank dieser Beleuchtungstechnologie konnte eine energieeffiziente, bauraumsparende, komfortable und wartungsarme Fahrgastraumbeleuchtung entworfen werden, die den in vielerlei Hinsicht sehr speziellen Anforderungen des AeroLiner3000-Fahrzeugs genugen. Die Projektergebnisse wurden auf der InnoTrans 2016 anhand eines 1:1-Mockups demonstriert.

This paper examines how typical architectural education should be augmented for space architectural design and suggests areas wherein both terrestrial architects and aerospace engineers can educate themselves. It reviews early attempts at space architecture education, and relates the curricula to an underlying architectural skill set. Conventional architectural licensure requires the mastering of technical and administrative skills for designing safe, functional, and comfortable modifications to the ambient environmental conditions of building sites. Space architecture vastly expands the range of environmental conditions that the designer may encounter and invalidates many unstated assumptions of terrestrial architecture. We propose that a curriculum in space architecture can be derived by making those assumptions explicit in the study of environmental technology, structures, materials, construction, and history (precedent), following the framework of the common architectural curriculum. Space architecture is emerging as a specialization. As with other fields of architectural specialization (health care facilities, resorts, tall buildings), practitioners will develop most of their specialized skills through apprenticeship and practice. The goal of space architecture education is to provide the foundation for subsequent professional development.

This makes inflatables most apt for use in human space flight. Savings in weight and packaging volume are perfect for getting them off ground. With the development of TransHab, NASA made a big step forward in proofing the technology-readiness of using inflatables for human space habitat. Protection of micro-meteorites and radiation proofed to be even better than in the aluminium ISS Module. The shape of TransHab was based on a toroid. The sphere is the natural shape of a flexible skin with an inside pressure and naturally combining maximum volume with minimum surface (insulation/protection etc). It is astonishing why this very efficient shape has not been used more often for space applications. This paper will investigate on a concept level the possibilities of a sphere for use in microgravity and planetary habitats. Possibilities for habitats for 1-2 person, 6 persons and up to sixty and more, all using...
