Overcrowding in the airspace, difficult coordination at airports, high emissions of noise and pollutants as well as complexity of airlines are side effects of too many aircraft movements. This study examines the extent to which the number of flight movements in Europe can be reduced without change in transport performance. For this purpose, the number of flight movement for a European network of the 140 most frequently flown serviced routes will be optimised. The reference date is November 17th, 2017. It shows that with the same passenger transport performance, the number of flight movements can be re- duced to 1/3 of the current level (from 2.040 flights per day to 738 flights per day).

Received: 18 June 2020; Accepted: 7 August 2020; Published: 11 August 2020 Abstract: The race for speed ruled the early Jet Age on aviation. Aircraft manufacturers chased faster and faster planes in a fight for pride and capability. In the early 1970s, dreams were that the future would be supersonic, but fuel economy and unacceptable noise levels made that era never happen. After the 1973 oil crisis, the paradigm changed. The average cruise speed on newly developed aircraft started to decrease in exchange for improvements in many other performance parameters. At the same pace, the airliner’s power-plants are evolving to look more like a ducted turboprop, and less like a pure jet engine as the pursuit for the higher bypass ratios continues. However, since the birth of jet aircraft, the propeller-driven plane has lost its dominant place, associated with the idea that going back to propeller-driven airplanes, and what it represents in terms of modernity and security, has started a propeller avoidance phenomenon with travelers and thus with airlines. Today, even with the modest research effort since the 1980s, advanced propellers are getting efficiencies closer to jet-powered engines at their contemporary typical cruise speeds.

  • The Media's Representation of Airplane Disasters
    The Media’s Representation of Airplane Disasters: An Analysis of Themes, Language and Moving Images Julia Maria Boelle A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Journalism, Media and Culture Cardiff University April 2020 - II - This thesis is dedicated to those affected by the fateful flights of Malaysia Airlines 370, Germanwings 9525, Air France 447, Malaysia Airlines 17, Indonesia AirAsia 8501, Metrojet 9268, EgyptAir 804, Saratov Airlines 703, Lion Air 610 and Ethiopian Airlines 302. - III - - IV - ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professor Karin Wahl-Jorgensen and Professor Jenny Kitzinger for their guidance, expertise and encouragement in the production of this work. Without your help, this thesis would not have been possible. Special thanks are also due to Matthew Pudner for his help as a second coder in the intercoder-reliability test and Ben Jones for proof-reading. I am incredibly grateful for the time you have invested. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends, and especially my parents, for their love and continuing support. I could not have gone on this journey without you. - V - - VI - ABSTRACT This thesis examines the representation of airplane disasters in broadcast news. Although airplane incidents tend to receive a disproportionate amount of media coverage, research is lacking in journalism studies and disaster communication on how these disasters are reported in traditional mainstream media and broadcast news. These news sources are dominant in the UK and, given the extensive coverage attributed to airplane disasters, have the power to shape our understanding of the incidents. By drawing on relevant concepts from the academic literature, this thesis establishes that the representation of airplane disasters can be understood through several key features: media interest, the topics of the broadcasts, the causes and responses to the incidents, emotionality and ‘suffering’, safety and risk, uncertainty, ignorance and speculation as well as different types of visuals.
