Phd Eng. Tomasz Łusiak is a staff member of the Aeronautics Faculty at the Polish Air Force University (science 2015) where he holds the position of lecturer and of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Lublin University of Technology (since 2003) where he works as a adjuncts, scientist in research projects. He would like to pursue a further plan of research in the field of aerodynamic aircraft and the influence of aerodynamic interference on the properties of these objects. Analysis of the state of the art shows that there is an urgent need to assess the phenomenon of interference in the operation of windmills and helicopters. Innovative structural solutions are being designed, which must be subjected to numerical tests and experimental verification on models of these objects in wind tunnels.
The scientific interests concern special operations with the use of helicopters, windmills, especially in urban agglomerations, as well as agro-aircraft and tourist services. I have established cooperation with such services as PSP, Police Air Force, LPR, Lublin Airport, Technical Institute of Air Force in Warsaw, the Institute of Aviation in Warsaw and with the aviation industry, including with Agusta Westland PZL Świdnik S.A., LPU HELISECO.
The goal of my research is to carry out a numerical and computational - experimental analysis of the influence of disturbances in the rotational flux of the carrier rotor and propellers of propulsion engines on the resultant aerodynamic parameters of the aircraft which is a windmill. The aim is also to develop rational methods and optimization of innovative structural solutions of the fuselage and load-bearing elements generating aerodynamic stream during the flight, especially through its propulsion system.
