The interaction of radio frequency electromagnetic fields with atmospheric water droplets and application to aircraft ice prevention
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Technology Laboratory, 1982, 1982)
In this work the physics of advanced microwave anti-icing systems, which pre-heat impinging supercooled water droplets prior to impact, is studied by means of a computer simulation and is found to be feasible. In order to ...
An experimental and theoretical study of the ice accretion process during artificial and natural icing conditions
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)
Real-time measurements of ice growth during artificial and natural icing conditions were conducted using an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique. This technique allows ice thickness to be measured with an accuracy of ł0.5 mm; ...
Aircraft requirements for low/medium density markets
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1973, 1973)
Introduction: In 1971, the joint Department of Transportation, National Aeronautics and Space Administrations, Civil Aviation Research and Development Policy Study (CARD) Report, identified the problems of providing air ...
Analysis of the altitude tracking performance of aircraft-autopilot systems in the presence of atmospheric disturbances
([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 ...
An adaptive Final Approach Spacing Advisory system : modeling, analysis and simulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1991], 1991)
As airline industry grows and air traffic increases drastically, terminal airspace around busy airports is becoming more and more crowded. To accommodate the soaring demand for use of airports, a plausible and profitable ...
Toward the definition and measurement of the mental workload of transport pilots
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
This report describes work performed in the first year of a continuing research project aimed at developing useful methods for measuring the workload of pilots operating aircraft in the ATC system. Good methods of measuring ...
Final approach guidance using an altimeter-aided Loran-C display system
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)
Introduction: The goal of this thesis is to test the flyability of a display system that uses a King Radio KEAO-346 altimeter and Micrologic ML-3000 LORAN-C receiver for final approach guidance and to model the dynamics ...
A programmable pilot oriented display system for GA aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1982], 1982)
This report presents a complete description of a digital flight data processing platform designed to support a range of airborne or flight simulator based experiments requiring the acquisition, processing, and display of ...
