To provide a background for evaluating advanced STOL systems concepts, a number of short haul and STOL airline operations in the United States and one operation in Canada were studied. A study of flight director operational procedures for an advanced STOL research airplane, the Augmented Wing Jet STOL Research Airplane, was conducted using the STOLAND simulation facility located at the Ames Research Center. A flight experiment is proposed for use in the high air traffic region of the San Francisco bay area. Finally, changes to the advanced digital flight control system (STOLAND) installed in the Augmentor Wing Airplane are proposed to improve the mode sequencing to simplify pilot procedures and reduce pilot workload. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Summary i Table of Contents ii List of Abbreviations Used iii List of Figures iv Introduction v Results Operational Experience of STOL Airplanes and Short Haul Aircarrier Operations 1 Simulator Experiment 2 Comparison 3 Evaluation Results 5 Flight Experiments for testing STOL Operational Procedures Along Terminal Curved Descending Flight Paths 18 Suggested Mode Select Sequences of the STOLAND System 25 Conclusions and Recommendations 35 Appendixes Appendix 1.

  • Airline Financial Woes
    THE CYCLICAL CRISIS IN COMMERCIAL AVIATION Professor Dr. Paul Stephen Dempsey Director, Institute of Air & Space Law McGill University Copyright © 2011 by the author. “There are three ways to lose a lot of money: “1. Slow horses; “2. Fast women; and “3. Airlines. “But you know, they’re all a lot of fun.” Omar Fontana, founder, Transbrasil Airlines Airlines are perceived to be a glamorous investment. There are three businesses everyone believes s/he can run: 1. A restaurant; 2. A sports franchise; and 3. An airline. Issues to Be Addressed • How severe is the contemporary financial distress which the airline industry suffers? • What challenges does the industry face in terms of supply, cost and revenue? • Why the disconnect between demand/supply and price/cost? The Maturity of the Market, and the Level of Regulation and Degree of Competition, Impacts Industry Profitability High Profitability Regulated Deregulated Growing Markets Growing Markets Regulated Deregulated Mature Markets Mature Markets Low Profitability The world based on commercial aircraft departures. Economic Theories (circa 1978) • There were no barriers to entry in aviation, other than governmental restrictions. • There were no economies of scale in the airline industry. • Markets were contestable. • Therefore, deregulation would produce nearly textbook levels of perfect competition. Economic Theories (circa 1978) “Unfortunately, those theories turned out to be wrong as they applied to the airline industry . ”[1] and “airline markets cannot be modeled by any reasonably pure version of contestability theory.”[2] [1] Michael Levine, Airline Deregulation: A Perspective, 60 Antitrust L.J. 687 (1991).
