    • ATCLAB : a laboratory environment for research in advanced ATC automation conceptual design 

      Elias, Antonio L.; Pararas, John Demetrios. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)
      Introduction: A large number of ideas and schemes have been proposed and are constantly being suggested to enhance the Air Traffic Control system's safety, reliability, and efficiency by means of automation. The capability ...

    • 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 ...

    • Probabilistic modelling of LORAN-C for non-precision approaches 

      Einhorn, John Kenneth (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1985], 1985)
      A mathematical model of the expected position errors encountered from LORAN-C during a non precision approach was formulated. From this, position error ellipses were generated that corresponded to two time difference ...
