Paper Airplane user's manual : version four
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, Paper Airplane Project, c1987, c1987)Preface: This document provides the user with a step-by-step guide to using Paper Airplane, Version IV. Although this program can be used to design any system (once given the proper set of design equations), this manual ... -
Papers from the MIT-industry Cooperative Research Program, 1989 : proceedings of the annual meeting held at MIT
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1989], 1989) -
Parallel parametric combinatorial search : its application to runway scheduling
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1987], 1987)The Runway Scheduling Problem (RSP) addresses the fundamental issues of airport congestion and energy conservation. It is a variation of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) from which it differs in three basic points: the ... -
Pilot workload in the air transport environment : measurement, theory, and the influence of air traffic control
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1980], 1980)The operating environment of an air transport crew is characterized by multiple interrupting tasks, these tasks being composed of a mixture of purely physical control and purely mental planning processes. Measurement of ... -
Planning level decision support for the selection of robust configurations of airport passenger buildings
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)Prevalent in the current practice of airport design is the view of the airport as a "terminal", or beginning and ending point only of a traveler's journey. Such a perspective wrongly encourages the belief that airport ... -
A planning tool for predicting en route ATC conflicts and designing ATC sectors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1985], 1985)The modernization of the Air Traffic Control system has led to a reevaluation of sector performance in order to design a safer and more efficient system for the future. There are, however, few available tools to aid in ... -
Policy alternatives for the U.S. commuter airline industry after four years of airline deregulation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1983], 1983)Beginning with the passage of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the dramatic changes in the passenger commuter airline segment of the U.S. aviation industry are identified and evaluated. The results of this evaluation ... -
Potential impacts on advanced technologies on the ATC capacity of high-density terminal areas
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)Advanced technologies for airborne systems (automatic flight control, flight displays, navigation) and for ground ATC systems (digital communications, improved surveillance and tracking, automated decision-making) create ... -
Potential use of artificial intelligence techniques in air traffic control
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1985], 1985)A.I., or Artificial Intelligence, is a vast field that includes more than the so-called "Expert Systems" that the public seems to identify with A.I. In particular, research in A.I. has created an entirely new mode of ... -
Predicting the impact of new technology aircraft on international air transportation demand
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology ; [1981], 1981)Introduction: A desire to see new places, meet different people, and perhaps conduct some business on the side has been an enduring feature of civilization. However, international travel remained largely the province of ... -

Probabilistic modelling of LORAN-C for non-precision approaches
(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 ... -
