The MIT team brings together multidisciplinary expertise and cutting-edge technologies to determine, in a rigorous and objective manner, the potential for improvements in noise, emissions and performance for subsonic fixed wing transport aircraft. The collaboration incorporates assessment of the trade space in aerodynamics, propulsion, operations, and structures to ensure that the full spectrum of improvements is identified. Although the analysis focuses on these key areas, the team has taken a system-level approach to find the integrated solutions that offer the best balance in performance enhancements. Based on the trade space analyses and system-level assessment, two aircraft have been identified and carried through conceptual design to show both the in- depth engineering that underpins the benefits envisioned and also the technology paths that need to be followed to enable, within the next 25 years, the development of aircraft three generations ahead in capabilities from those flying today.

Aerospace technology in its present form has developedalong certain basic principles of aerodynamic forces. Differentparts in an airplane have different functions to balance theaircraft in air, provide a thrust, and control the general mechanisms.Profusely illustrated descriptions provide a picture of whatkinds of aircraft are used for cargo, passenger travel, bombing, and supersonicflights. Propulsion principles and descriptions of differentkinds of engines are quite helpful. At the end of each chapter,new terminology is listed.

This training tool is the culmination of a long, painstaking effort on the part of an industry/Government working group representing a broad segment of the U.S. and international air carrier community. In late 1990, the working group began studying specific cases of rejected takeoff (RTO) accidents and incidents and related human factors issues. Opportunities for making improvements to takeoff procedures and for increasing the levels of aircrew knowledge and skill were indicated. To test this hypothesis, the working group was expanded to include all major aircraft manufacturers, international carriers, and members of the academic community. The general consensus supports enhancing flight safety through widespread use of the material developed. I urge operators to adopt this material for use in qualification and recurring aircrew training programs.

  • Unmanned Aircraft Systems Roadmap 2005-2030
    UAS ROADMAP 2005 UAS ROADMAP 2005 UAS ROADMAP 2005 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) enters its fourth year, the contributions of unmanned aircraft (UA)* in sorties, hours, and expanded roles continue to increase. As of September 2004, some twenty types of coalition UA, large and small, have flown over 100,000 total flight hours in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF) and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF). Their once reconnaissance- only role is now shared with strike, force protection, and signals collection, and, in doing so, have helped reduce the complexity and time lag in the sensor-to-shooter chain for acting on “actionable intelligence.” UA systems (UAS) continue to expand, encompassing a broad range of mission capabilities. These diverse systems range in cost from a few thousand dollars to tens of millions of dollars, and range in capability from Micro Air Vehicles (MAV) weighing less than one pound to aircraft weighing over 40,000 pounds. UA, and unmanned systems in general, are changing the conduct of military operations in the GWOT by providing unrelenting pursuit without offering the terrorist a high value target or a potential captive. As the Department of Defense (DoD) develops and employs an increasingly sophisticated force of unmanned systems, including UA over the next 25 years (2005 to 2030), technologists, acquisition officials, and operational planners require a clear, coordinated plan for the evolution and transition of this capability. The overarching goal of this Roadmap, in following the Strategic Planning Guidance (SPG), is to guide the Military Departments and defense agencies toward a logical, systematic migration of mission capabilities to this new class of military tools.

Mason ___________________ M.A. Cavanaugh ___________________ ii Executive Summary The Peregrine provides an innovative solution to the growing problem of airport congestion as well as serving the nation through homeland security and military support. By incorporating a hybrid, powered lift, double- slotted flap system into a 49-passenger regional jet it was possible to satisfy the 2003/2004 AIAA undergraduate RFP. Team Ascent has incorporated these advanced technologies into a unique design to be a flexible, efficient and cost effective regional jet that will revolutionize air transportation and improve national security. Multiple Missions The cost of the aircraft is split between the baseline cost of the regional jet and the additional, government- subsidized cost of converting the Peregrine to its secondary mission configuration. The Peregrine is capable of many missions including: wildfire support, air ambulance to urban and rural areas, air transport to and from combat areas and emergency evacuation. The main cabin is outfitted with quick-release seats that are easily removable to accommodate firemen, military response teams and medical personnel.

  • Commercial Space Integration Into the NAS ( CSINAS ) Concept of Operations
    Federal Aviation Administration Commercial Space Integration into the National Airspace System Concept of Operations May 2020 Commercial Space Integration into the National Airspace System (CSINAS) Concept of Operations This document was developed in collaboration with key representatives from the following organizations: Air Traffic Organization (ATO), Office of Commercial Space (AST), Office of Airports (ARP), and Office of NextGen (ANG). For more information, please contact: Name: Matt Modderno Organizational Code: ANG-C5 Phone Number: 202-267-5151 Email address: [email protected] 1 Abstract This Concept of Operations (ConOps) is an update to the Space Vehicle Operations (SVO) ConOps, Version 1.1, 2014. It evolves the concepts put forth in that document for managing that National Airspace System (NAS) during commercial launch and reentry vehicle operations. The NAS is defined as the following: The common network of U.S. airspace; air navigation facilities, equipment and services, airports or landing areas; aeronautical charts, information and services; rules, regulations and procedures, technical information, and manpower and material. Included are system components shared jointly with the military1. Air traffic services (ATS) in U.S. are provided over the domestic U.S. and within. In the airspace over the contiguous U.S. and out to 12 nautical miles (NM) from the U.S. shores, domestic air traffic control (ATC) separation is applied (with certain limitations) along with additional services (e.g., traffic advisories, bird activity information, weather and chaff information, etc.). The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has also delegated some high seas airspace to the United States (U.S.) for the provision of ATS.
