    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

    Author : Jonatan Palmquist; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The use of composite materials within the aerospace industry has increased in the last decades and is still on the rise. Most composite applications are in the aircraft body parts but engine components such as fan blades and fan outlet guide vanes (FOGV) are now also to be found. READ MORE

  3. 42. Real-Time Estimation of Aerodynamic Parameters

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik

    Author : Sofia Larsson Cahlin; [2016]
    Keywords : Least squares; Chirp z-transform; Instrumental variables; Missing data;

    Abstract : Extensive testing is performed when a new aircraft is developed. Flight testing is costly and time consuming but there are aspects of the process that can be made more efficient. READ MORE

  4. 43. Modeling Functional Specications of Ground Systems in the National Airspace System

    University essay from KTH/Flygdynamik

    Author : Christian Krantz; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is projecting tremendous growth in air traffic demand and complexity with the integration of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the National Airspace System (NAS). To meet this demand, the FAA is working to a 2025 goal of a system-wide autonomous optimized air traffic management (ATM) system that is safe, resilient, and agile enough to adapt to the ever changing business models and operator demands in the NAS.

  5. 44. Challenges and potential to improve airline safety and demonstrate resilience through monitoring

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Michel Gaudreau; [2015]
    Keywords : FLMU06; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Rasmussen (1997) shows how it may be possible to go beyond an acceptable safety boundary, and if crossing the boundary is irreversible, an error or an accident may occur. Organizations reside as a specific operating point within three specific boundaries. READ MORE

  6. 45. Predicting aviation hazards during convective events

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Ingela Leffler; [2015]
    Keywords : Aviation; Convection; Forecasting; Flygfaror; Konvektion; Väderprognoser;

    Abstract : Atmospheric convection can result in weather conditions capable of making a pilot lose control of the aircraft. An example of such weather is thunderstorms. This study was made to evaluate weather forecasts for aircraft pilots during days of convective activity. READ MORE
