the limits of airplane performance. Recent accidents and incidents have resulted in new flight crew training programs, which in turn have raised interest in AOA in commercial aviation. Awareness of AOA is vitally important as the airplane nears stall. It is less useful to the flight crew in the normal operational range. On most Boeing models currently in production, AOA information is presented...

Stanford University’s GPS Laboratory has developed and demonstrated a fully autonomous, small, unmanned airplane. Recent flight tests of the airplane have been extended to collect appropriate open-loop data to perform system identification. In previous research in the GPS Lab, the autonomous airplane, utilizing Carrier-Phase Differential GPS 1065 (CDGPS), has flown several flights of a predeter...

: This paper presents cooperative path planning approach for multi UAVs to detect, model and track the shape of a contaminant cloud boundary. The objective of this research study is to manage the resources (airborne sensors) such as to determine the boundary of a cloud and track its motion with minimum information. The dispersing model of the contaminant cloud boundary is based on SCIPUFF. The ...

(j) Engine condition monitoring. (1) The certificate holder must establish an engine-condition monitoring program to detect deterioration at an early stage and to allow for corrective action before safe operation is affected. (2) This program must describe the parameters to be monitored, the method of data collection, the method of analyzing data, and the process for taking corrective action. (...
