HISTORIC[1] Halogenated compounds have been employed as fire extinguishing agents since the early 1900s, when handheld extinguishers containing carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) were first introduced. In the late 1920s, methyl bromide (CH3Br) was found to be more effective than carbon tetrachloride, and was widely used as a fire extinguishing agent by the British in the late 1930s for aircraft protec...

TacAir-Soar is an intelligent, rule-based system that generates believable “human-like” behavior for large scale, distributed military simulations. The innovation of the application is primarily a matter of scale and integration. The system is capable of executing most of the airborne missions that the United States military flies in fixed-wing aircraft. It accomplishes this by integrating a wi...

Introduction/purpose: The use of modern military aircraft requires an extraordinary effort human and material potential to ensure the conditions for execution specific tasks. Complex technology, different spatial temporal impose need create organizational technical assist pilot during flight with aim safely completely accomplishing task. this paper is identify possible problems in organization ...

For pilots the importance of knowing their height (distance above the ground) cannot be minimized. An error in determining height can easily prove fatal. Commercial and military aircraft usually have radio altimeters to determine their height. These units cost in the thousands of dollars, are a structural part of the aircraft, and require FAA approval. However, radio altimeters are generally no...

Improving the quality of military operations is a driving force for many of the advances in soft and hard technology development. Examples are the development of the aircraft, nuclear power, computer, semiconductor, internet and the space communication and earth observing industries (Ruttan, 2006). Military operations both help develop new industries and also benefit from these industries. Rece...

The subject of this paper is to review, comparative analysis and simulation of selected components of power electronic systems (PES), consistent with the concept of a more electric aircraft (MEA). Comparative analysis and simulation in software environment MATLAB / Simulink were carried out on the base of a group of representatives of civil aircraft (B-787, A-380) and military (F-22 Raptor, F-3...
