Optimum Spanloads in Formation Flight
Formation flight can result in large induced drag reductions. Optimum spanloads for a group of aircraft flying in an arrow formation were found using a discrete vortex method with a Trefftz plane analysis under constraints in lift, pitching moment and rolling moment coefficients. It has been shown that large reductions in induced drag can be obtained when the spanwise and vertical distances bet...
متن کاملOptimum Guard Covers and m-Watchmen Routes for Restricted Polygons
A watchman, in the terminology of art galleries, is a mobile guard. We consider several watchman and guard problems for different classes of polygons. We introduce the notion of vision spans along a path (route) which provide a natural connection between the Art Gallery problem, the m-watchmen problem and the watchman route problem. We prove that finding the minimum number of vision points, i.e...
متن کاملModeling Arrival Flight Traffic Using Arena®
An arrival flight traffic model is presented to simulate time-varying arrivals via airport arrival fixes to runway. The underlying simulation was developed to support an analysis of airborne holding at airport meter fixes, based on changes in arrival capacity and operating procedures of the destination airport. A principal challenge was developing a modeling approach for aircraft arrivals, wher...
متن کاملOptimum Coasting Flight in a Horizontal Plane
Busemann's concept of optimum altitude for rectilinear coasting flight has been extended to flight in a horizontal plane. The reachable domain of a vehicle in coasting flight in a horizontal plane, starting from an initial velocity, is obtained. It is shown that the area covered first increases with the altitude and then decreases to zero when the ceiling is reached. In particular, there exists...
متن کاملAutomatic Design of Aircraft Arrival Routes with Limited Turning Angle
We present an application of Integer Programming to the design of arrival routes for aircraft in a Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA). We generate operationally feasible merge trees of curvatureconstrained routes, using two optimization criteria: (1) total length of the tree, and (2) distance flown along the tree paths. The output routes guarantee that the overall traffic pattern in the TMA can be...
