Predictive Modeling of Aircraft Flight Delay

Flight Dynamics Modeling and Simulation of a Damaged Transport Aircraft

A study was undertaken at NASA Langley Research Center to establish, demonstrate, and apply methodology for modeling and implementing the aerodynamic effects of MANPADS damage to a transport aircraft into real-time flight simulation, and to demonstrate a preliminary capability of using such a simulation to conduct an assessment of aircraft survivability. Key findings from this study include: su...

calculation of aircraft aerodynamic loads during operational flight

in this research, the calculation method of aerodynamic loads on an airplane in all flight situations is presented. in order to find an calculation equation for aerodynamic loads on an airplane in all flight conditions, the f-5 aircraft is selected as a prototype is divided into one hundred small parts longitudinally. therefore, the numerical solutions are taken place in different conditions of...

Simulating Aircraft Delay Absorption

An airplane’s ability to absorb delay while airborne is limited and costly. Because of this, the air traffic control system anticipates and manages excessive demand for scarce shared resources, such as arrival runways or busy airspace, so that the delay necessary for buffering can be spread out over a larger distance, or taken on the ground before departure. It is difficult to model these impor...
