    • Analysis of the altitude tracking performance of aircraft-autopilot systems in the presence of atmospheric disturbances 

      Sturdy, James Luckett; Hansman, Robert John. ([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1988], 1988)
      The dynamic response of aircraft-autopilot systems to atmospheric disturbances was investigated by analyzing linearized models of aircraft dynamics and altitude hold autopilots. Four jet aircraft (Boeing 737-100, McDonald ...

    • Aviation safety analysis 

      Ausrotas, Raymond A.; Hansman, Robert John. (Cambridge, Mass : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1984], 1984)
      Introduction: Just as the aviation system is complex and interrelated, so is aviation safety. Aviation safety involves design of aircraft and airports, training of ground personnel and flight crew members' maintenance of ...

    • Flight tests of a digital data acquisition system for analysis of ultrasonic pulse-echo signals used to measure ice accretion 

      Ryan, Justin Mark; Hansman, Robert John. (Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)
      A number of signal processing algorithms were developed for analyzing ultrasonic signals used to measure aircraft ice accretion in flight. A high speed digital signal acquisition system was designed and constructed to ...
