At the same time, recent agreements for the extension of Russian military basing agreements in Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan have drawn attention to the extent to which Russia is providing military equipment and other forms of security assistance to the region.

  • Long Island North Shore Helicopter Route Environmental Study
    Long Island North Shore Helicopter Route Environmental Study This report presents the results of the noise and emissions analysis of helicopter operations along the North Shore Helicopter Route of Long Island, New York performed by the Federal Aviation Administration, with the assistance of the Volpe Center’s Environmental Measurement and Modeling group. Noise The FAA’s Office of Environment and Energy tasked the Volpe Center to conduct an analysis of the noise of helicopters operating under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) along the north shore of Long Island. This analysis examines current helicopter noise along the route. The route is shown below in Figure 1. Figure 1. North Shore Helicopter Route Helicopter Operational Source Data The ATAC Corporation provided Performance Data Analysis and Reporting System (PDARS) information to the Volpe Center. This PDARS data set included helicopter operations near and over Long Island around Memorial Day, 2011 (May 27 to May 31) and the 4th of July, 2011 (June 30 to July 5). When providing the data, ATAC provided a breakdown of helicopter operations, which is shown in Table 1. Using this peak season holiday data, the analysis assumed an average daily number of 42.8 helicopter operations (40.1 operations during the day and 2.7 operations during nighttime hours). Table 1. Helicopter operations from PDARS data Time 5/27 5/28 5/29 5/30 5/31 6/30 7/1 7/2 7/3 7/4 7/5 Total Day 82 38 24 66 29 42 58 10 10 45 37 441 Night 2 2 1 3 1 3 4 3 2 6 3 30 The FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool version 2A (AEDT 2A) was used to model the noise of these operations.

Extensive research into the market requirements and history of the autogiro are presented as justification for the implementation of such a design. The design criteria and mission profile are selected in order to compete with inter-city commuting in the range of 20 to 30 statute miles or with longer range travel at roughly 100 miles. Cost estimations are also made in order to gauge the feasibility of this design from an economic standpoint. Achieving the design criteria and desired mission profile are done through numerical integration and analysis through CFD to optimize the initial design detailed below.
