Aircraft Technology Applied to Trucks
Several aerodynamic improvements and flow control techniques are used in jet aircraft wings in order to allow a better movement through the air and thus enhance the overall performance of the airplane. The Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta is now working on using these same techniques with trucks and trailers. According to the latest tests using a full-size truck show clearly how the techniques enhance fuel efficiency reducing fuel costs by as much as 12 percent. The techniques can also improve directional control and breaking, enhancing this way safety as well on the roads.
Robert Englar, principal research engineer of Aerospace, Transportation and Advanced Systems Laboratory of the Georgia Tech Research Institute said that they have resolved unknowns from previous testing, and that they have demonstrated that this technology functions in trucks as well as it does in airplanes, and they expect that the trucking industry will consider an estimated 12 percent of fuel expenditure reduction worthy of pursuing. This amount will improve fuel economy resulting in approximately 2,400 million gallons of fuel worth of savings for the United States heavy truck fleet.
The techniques employed in this technology include aerodynamic improvements made possible by geometry modifications in the trucks that generate savings of up to 6 to 7 percent. These modifications include rounding aft trailer corners, installation of fairings, as well as other modifications that smooth air flow over the boxy trucks. The additional savings of 5 percent are achieved through pneumatic devices that blow air from vents at the rear of the vehicle to prevent separation of air flow.

Bengal Institute of Technology and Management (BITM)
The Bengal Institute of Technology and Management (BITM) is located in Santiniketan – a place which can be rarely associated with an engineering college. Even the surroundings are far from what you might experience at Jadavpur University or BE College (Shivpur). Seven kilometeres from Bolpur situated as if far from the maddening crowd, BITM may look desolate but once you enter you are in a different world altogether. The 60 acre campus is comprised of canteens, laboratories, gardens, huge buildings and playgrounds.
In spite of its limitations BITM (Shantiniketan) has done quite well where as the infrastructure is concerned. The five computer laboratories and digital communication engineering laboratories, besides chemistry, physics and a host of other labs prove this rightly. According to the authority the best part of the institute is its highly qualified faculty. The quality of students has also improved over the last few years. Although initially under the Visva Bharati affiliation(2001) it had a humble beginning with just 250 students, now under the West Bengal University (2003) in last 4 years BITM has admitted around 900 students in 5 engineering streams.

Now the long term goal according to the director of the college is, to achieve autonomy. To cope with the changing sciences and a huge syllabus what is more necessary is flexibility. Nevertheless at present it is the placement issue which forms the talk of the campus. Interviews are already organised by well known companies like Dell, Wipro, GE Capital, Reliance Petrochemical, Cadbury India, Godrej and Eveready. Special grooming sessions are also conducted for students appearing for the interviews. Thus the present scenario at BITM Santinikatan is surely indicating to a steady growth not only of the Institute itself but also of its students’ careers.
This can be said to be the fruitful consequence of the gradual yet steady development of this engineering college which enduringly enhances its way to a very prosperous future.
