Small Aircraft Transportation Systems

چکیده
INTRODUCTION Air transportation systems are based on a variety of vehicles including fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The most diverse and developed category remains the fixed wing aircraft with sizes ranging from single seat to 555 seats in the case of the Airbus A380. This size characterization relates to passenger vehicles. However, cargo aircraft have similar range of sizes. The largest fraction of commercial air transportation is performed using 50 to 300 seat aircraft. However, there exists a segment of the air transportation market that relies on smaller vehicles.

Introduse and Need Assessment of Regional Aircrafts by Software and Modeling
An analysis was conducted to examine the market visibility of small aircraft as a transportation mode in competition with automobile and scheduled commercial air travel by estimating the pool of users that would potentially switch on-demand air travel due to cost/time saving. These new aircraft greatly increase the practicality of regional aircraft as a transportation mode that can avoid the co...
متن کاملFormal Analysis of the Operational Concept for the Small Aircraft Transportation System
The Small Aircraft Transportation System (SATS) is a NASA project aimed at increasing access to small non-towered non-radar airports in the US. SATS is a radical new approach to air trafficmanagement where pilots flying instrument flight rules are responsible for separation without air traffic control services. In this paper, the SATS project serves as a case study of an operational air traffic...

This paper reviews research conducted in the Texas A&M University Flight Simulation Laboratory on intelligent systems for general aviation. Over the last eight years several intelligent cockpit systems and pilot decision-aiding tools have been created and developed for general aviation aircraft, using fix-based flight simulation validation and evaluation. This paper reviews these results, and a...
متن کاملComputing small-fleet aircraft availabilities including redundancy and spares
Logistics support is a key element of aircraft transportation systems. This paper is concerned with the impact of aircraft spares provisioning decisions on the availability of aircraft. Spares provisioning in this context is complicated by the fact that spares may be shared across aircraft and that aircraft may have redundant systems. In addition, decisions concerning aircraft spares support re...
متن کاملIntroduction to rare event simulation
This monograph deals with the analysis by simulation of ‘rare situations’ in systems of quite different types, that is, situations that happen very infrequently, but important enough to justify their study. A rare event is an event occurring with a very small probability, the definition of ‘small’ depending on the application domain. These events are of interest in many areas. Typical examples ...
