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 ...
Investigating Conformance Monitoring Issues in Air Traffic Control Using Fault Detection Approaches
(2003-11)
In order to maintain Air Traffic Control (ATC) system safety, security and efficiency, conformance
monitoring must be performed to ensure that aircraft adhere to their assigned clearances. New Decision
Support Tools ...
Development of Vertiport Capacity Envelopes and Analysis of Their Sensitivity to Topological and Operational Factors
(2019-01-08)
This study develops an Integer Programming (IP) approach to analytically estimate vertiport capacity envelopes. The approach is used to determine the sensitivity of vertiport capacity to the number and layout of touchdown ...
AN ASSESSMENT OF ELECTRIC STOL AIRCRAFT
(2019-09-05)
Distributed electric propulsion (DEP) is an emerging set of technologies which
enable new vehicle configurations by allowing the efficient distribution of many smaller
propulsors around the airframe. One application of ...
Feasibility Study of Short Takeoff and Landing Urban Air Mobility Vehicles Using Geometric Programming
(2018-07-10)
Electric Short Takeoff and Landing (eSTOL) vehicles are proposed as a path towards implementing an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) network that reduces critical vehicle certification risks and offers advantages in vehicle performance ...
Scaling Constraints for Urban Air Mobility Operations: Air Traffic Control, Ground Infrastructure, and Noise
(2018-07-10)
The scalability of the current air traffic control system, the availability of aviation ground infrastructure, and the acceptability of aircraft noise to local communities have been identified as three key operational ...
