Emergence of Regional Jets and The Implications on Air Traffic Management
(2003-06-27)Airlines are increasingly using regional jets to better match aircraft size to high value, but limited demand markets. This has been especially important following increased financial pressure on the industry ... -
Emergence of Secondary Airports and Dynamics of Regional Airport Systems in the United States
(2006-11-21)With the growing demand for air transportation and limited capacity at major airports, there is a need to increase the capacity of airport systems at the metropolitan area level. The increased use of secondary airports has ... -
Encouraging Technology Transition through Value Creation, Capture and Delivery Strategies: The Case of Data Link in the North Atlantic Airspace
(2008-09)This thesis studies the problem of data link in the NAT under a technology transition framework of value creation, capture, and delivery. Creating value through a new technology, such as data link, refers to designing ... -
Enhanced spatial state feedback for night vision goggle displays
(1997-04)A preliminary study was conducted to investigate the use of visual flow cues as an aid to ground and vertical drift awareness during helicopter flight and targeting while using night vision goggles (NVG's). Three displays ... -
Estimation of Potential Aircraft Fuel Burn Reduction in Cruise Via Speed and Altitude Optimization Strategies
(2011-04-13)Environmental performance has become a dominant theme in all transportation sectors. As scientific evidence for global climate change mounts, social and political pressure to reduce fuel burn and CO2 emissions has increased ... -
Estimation of the Economic Benefit of Air Jamaica to Jamaica between 1995 and 2004
(2006-11-21)In this study, we estimate the economic benefit of Air Jamaica to Jamaica between 1995 and 2004. Specifically, we determine the economic benefit of Air Jamaica by estimating the economic contribution of air transportation ... -
Evaluating The Depiction of Complex RNAV/RNP Procedures and Analyzing a Potential De-Cluttering Technique
(2012-05-10)Performance Based Navigation (PBN) is a key element of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) NextGen Program. In order to increase National Airspace System (NAS) capacity and efficiency, PBN routes and procedures ... -
