After successfully completing his B.S. in Aerospace Engineering
and Business Law with honors, Yusif Gurbanli has been invited to
continue his academic career at the University of Miami. Due to his
high GPA and other outstanding achievements in the field, he has
been offered to enroll directly into the Ph.D. program at his
university.
His doctorate work is based on a joint project with NASA. As
explained by Mr. Gurbanli, 'Co-Flow Jet' technology, that he is
going to work on, is a flow circulation enhancement system that
absorbs the air from the trailing edge of the wing with the
injection happening at the leading one.
This allows better circulation and lower flow separation
resulting in higher angles of attack. Consequently, a higher angle
of attack yields a better lift coefficient which is vital for
aerodynamic properties. The system also minimizes drag. The
technology developed by Yusif's academic advisor Dr. GeCheng Zha
received high reviews from the scientific community and 'Co-Flow'
has recently signed a joint operational agreement with NASA for new
eV/STOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) technologies.
When it comes to applications, Yusif stated that his research
can be implemented in anything that needs optimization of
aerodynamic properties: commercial vertical take-off aircraft,
Formula 1 cars, special purpose drones, and many other riveting
projects. Moreover, he has also patriotically added:
'As I know the international airport in Fuzuli has already been
completed. However, several smaller airports, such as Kalbajar and
Zangilan, are on the way. For instance, Kalbajar has a quite
difficult terrain. 'Co-Flow Jet' technology can be used to reduce
the landing/take-off distances by significant margins allowing
larger aircraft to land on shorter runways.'
His work has been highly praised in the United States, as the
'Energy and Transportation Ecosystem based on Martian Atmosphere'
project he worked on has won the nomination not only in the
'Mechanical and Aerospace' category but also as a best overall
engineering project at the Design Expo. The main accomplishment of
the project was the creation of the first-ever manned aircraft for
thin Martian air conditions. Such aircraft would work even more
effectively on Earth.
A detailed scientific paper on this topic is scheduled to be
published in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics
(AIAA) journal later this year with Yusif Gurbanli being one of the
co-authors. As per the future implementation of the project, he
commented that we still have numerous gaps to fill in on our
planet, but his research can be used as a foundation for humanity's
future expeditions to near space, M81 galaxy while hoping to see
the Azerbaijani flag pinned on Mars!
