Dynamics of Implementation of Mitigating Measures to Reduce CO2 Emissions from Commercial Aviation
(2010-07-13)Increasing demand for air transportation and growing environmental concerns motivate the need to implement measures to reduce CO2 emissions from aviation. Case studies of historical changes in the aviation industry have ... -
Effect Of False Alarm Rate On Pilot Use And Trust Of Automation Under Conditions Of Simulated High Risk
(2010-11-05)An experimental study was conducted to investigate the relationships between automation false alarm rate, human trust in automation, and human use of automation, specifically under conditions of simulated high risk. The ... -
The Effect Of Options On Pilot Decision Making In The Presence Of Risk
(International Center for Air Transportation, 97-10)An Option-Based Decision Framework is developed. This Framework may be applied to decisions that must be made in the face of high risk. The work is motivated by the needs of decision makers, specifically aviation decision ... -
Effects of Increased Nonstop Routing on Airline Cost and Profit
(2001-09)Delays in the United States air transportation industry are increasing every year, with correspondingly increasing costs. Delays are particularly bad at hub airports, due to the extra demand placed on these connecting ... -
The Emergence and Effects of the Ultra-Low Cost Carrier (ULCC) Business Model in the U.S. Airline Industry
(2016-10-19)The effects of “low-cost carriers” (LCCs) such as Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways on the competitive landscape of the U.S. airline industry have been thoroughly documented in the academic literature and the popular ... -
Emergence and Impact of Secondary Airports in the United States
(2004)As major airports in the United States have reached their maximum capacity and became congested, available capacity at surrounding airports has been utilized by the emergence of secondary airports. Given the expectation ... -
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 ... -
