An autoland system for a VTOL aircraft, a VTOL aircraft, and a landing control method for a VTOL aircraft, the foregoing comprising: an imaging device mounted on the VTOL aircraft; a relative position acquisition unit for performing image processing on an image in which a marker provided to a target landing point has been imaged with the imaging device and acquiring a relative position between the VTOL aircraft and the target landing point; a relative altitude acquisition unit for acquiring a relative altitude between the VTOL aircraft and the target landing point; a fuselage state acquisition unit for acquiring a state of the VTOL aircraft; and a control unit for controlling the VTOL aircraft in a plurality of control modes so that the relative position becomes zero. The control modes include a hovering mode in which the VTOL aircraft is located above the target landing point, and a landing mode in which the relative altitude is lowered for landing onto the target landing point. The control unit, when the relative altitude has descended to a prescribed determined relative altitude, shifts to the landing mode if a landing condition, including that the state of the VTOL aircraft be a prescribed stable fuselage state, holds true, and shifts to the hovering mode if the landing condition does not hold true.

Abstract

This gas turbine control device comprises: a fuel flow rate command value calculation unit; and a fuel flow rate control unit. The fuel flow rate command value calculation unit calculates a fuel flow rate command value by means of proportional integration control based on the deviation between a gas turbine rotation number and a target rotation number, or the deviation between a gas turbine output and a target output load. The fuel flow rate control unit controls the flow rate of a fuel with respect to a gas turbine on the basis of the fuel flow rate command value. The fuel flow rate command value calculation unit calculates the fuel flow rate command value so that the output of the gas turbine in a first output band increases at a first rate of change, and calculates the fuel flow rate command value so that the output of the gas turbine in a second output band which is higher than the first output band increases at a second rate of change which is smaller than the first rate of change. Further, an integration gain in the first output band of the proportional integration control is set to be smaller than an integration gain in the second output band.

This turbine blade comprises a blade wall and an insert inserted in a space formed inside the blade wall. Inside the insert, an inner cavity communicating with the outside of the turbine blade is formed. On the outer surface of the insert, a plurality of projections projecting toward the inner surface of the blade wall are formed. Between two adjacent projections among the plurality of projections, a collection space communicating with the outside of the turbine blade is defined. Formed in each of the plurality of projections are a flow path communicating with the inner cavity, and at least one cooling hole that is open so as to communicate with the flow path and face the inner surface of the blade wall. On at least one cross section of the turbine blade vertical to the blade height direction of the turbine blade between the tip-side edge and the hub-side edge of the turbine blade, given that the length of at least one projection is defined as the length of at least one projection among the plurality of projections extending from the outer surface of the insert toward the inner surface of the blade wall, that the length of at least one projection is L, and that the inner diameter of at least one cooling hole formed in at least one projection is d, L > 5d is satisfied.

Abstract

This water quality measurement method is for measuring, by titration, the acid consumption or alkali consumption of a sample and the concentration of a component contained in the sample. The water quality measurement method comprises: a step for setting a target pH corresponding to the sample; a step for setting a pH range corresponding to the component contained in the sample; a step for supplying a titrant to the sample after each of the step for setting the target pH and the step for setting the pH range; a step for calculating the acid consumption or alkali consumption of the sample on the basis of the amount of the titrant supplied to the sample until the pH of the sample reaches the target pH after the supplying of the titrant to the sample was started; and a step for calculating the concentration of the component contained in the sample on the basis of the amount of the titrant supplied to the sample until the pH of the sample has changed from the upper limit to the lower limit of the pH range or from the lower limit to the upper limit after the supplying of the titrant to the sample was started.
