Wiener-Process-Type Evasive Aircraft Actions Are Indeed Optimal Against Anti-Aircraft Guns: Wiener’s Data Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
In his 1940s empirical study of evasive aircraft actions, N. Wiener, the father of cybernetics, founds out that the pilot’s actions follow a Wienertype-process. In this paper, we explain this empirical result by showing that such evasive actions are indeed optimal against the 1940s anti-aircraft guns.

Study the effect of nano Al2O3 and nano graphene ceramic additives on the aircraft anti-icing/de-icing fluids
In the present study, the effect of nano Al2O3 and nano graphene ceramic additives in optimizing performance and improving thermophysical properties of aircraft anti-icing/de-icing fluids was investigated. Nanoparticles were characterized by TEM, SEM and XRD methods. The thermal conductivity, surface tension and dynamic viscosity of the hybrid nanofluids were experimentally assessed for tempera...
متن کاملRethinking Pilot Attitudes toward Automation
Ten years after Earl Wiener’s (1989) classic survey of pilot attitudes toward automation, researchers have once again turned to pilot attitudes to measure how pilots think and feel about the automation in the airplanes they fly. Psychologists have measured attitudes as mediators of human behavior for decades based on the assumption that attitudes and behavior are highly correlated (see Abelson,...
متن کاملA Statistical Analysis of the Aircraft Landing Process
Managing operations of the aircraft approach process and analyzing runway landing capacity, utilization and related risks require detailed insight into the stochastic characteristics of the process. These characteristics can be represented by probability distributions. The focus of this study is analyzing landings on a runway operating independent of other runways making it as a single runway. ...

The problem of attitude stabilization of a fighter aircraft is investigated in this paper. The practical aspects of a real physical system like existence of external disturbance with unknown upper bound and actuator saturation are considered in the process of controller design of this aircraft. In order to design a robust autopilot in the presence of the actuator saturation, the Composite Nonli...

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to design and evaluate the construction of a lightweight solar aircraft that is capable of flying continuously for 24 hours relying solely on solar energy. The required energy is absorbed during the day by solar panels, some is used directly for flight, and the excess energy is stored in the aircraft battery for overnight flight. The aircraft will then be ...
