    • Simulator evaluation of manually flown curved instrument approaches 

      Sager, Dennis Wayne (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1973], 1973)
      Pilot performance in flying horizontally curved instrument approaches was analyzed by having nine test subjects fly curved approaches in a fixed-base simulator. Approaches were flown without an autopilot and without a ...

    • Freight mode choice : air transport versus ocean transport in the 1990's 

      Lewis, Dale B. (Cambridge, MA : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
      Value density is often considered when considering the choice whether to ship cargo by air or by water. However, although cargo value is directly linked to the overall cost of shipment, it is the deciding factor in mode ...
