    • Airport quotas and peak hour pricing : theory and practice 

      Odoni, Amedeo R.; Vittek, Joseph F. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1976], 1976)
      This report examines the leading theoretical studies not only of airport peak-hour pricing but also of the congestion costs associated with airport delays and presents a consistent formulation of both. The report also ...

    • Application of the calculus of variations in determining optimum flight profiles for commercial short haul aircraft 

      Gallant, Robert Alfred ([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1966, 1966)
      The method of steepest descent of the calculus of variations is used to determine the optimal flight profile of a hypothetical tilt wing aircraft travelling a distance of 50 miles. Direct operating cost, (as derived from ...

    • Modeling of wind and radar for simulation in four-dimensional navigation environment 

      Malherbe, Gerard Andre (Cambridge : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, [1976], 1976)
      Disturbances affecting time control precision in four-dimension navigation are modeled. Several models of wind and turbulence from the ground to ten thousand feet are developed. A distinction is made between wind mean and ...
