The question of whether sickle cell trait (SCT) is potentially dangerous to military aircrew personnel who have it and, consequently, whether such individuals should be allowed to fly in military aircraft is a very emotional issue. This article traces the evolution of how the U.S. military has dealt with the problem, and the present status of individuals with SCT in the U.S. military aviation c...

This paper summarises the current state of the art and future intentions for deconfliction of civil aircraft. The paper then describes the relationship between Pilot and Controller to ensure the safe navigation of all aircraft operating in the same airspace. The paper focuses on 4D profile prediction and its use for what is known in Civil Aviation as Medium Term Conflict Detection/Alert. The pa...

Eye-gaze-controlled interfaces allow the direct manipulation of a graphical user interface by looking at it. This technology has great potential in military aviation, particular, operating different displays situations where pilots’ hands are occupied with flying aircraft. paper reports studies on analyzing accuracy eye-gaze-controlled inside aircraft undertaking representative missions. We rep...

The spatial variation in vector acoustic intensity has been calculated between 100 and 3000 Hz near a high-performance military aircraft. With one engine of a tethered F-22A Raptor operating at military power, a tetrahedral intensity probe was moved to 27 locations in the geometric near and mid-fields to obtain the frequency-dependent intensity vector field. The angles of the maximum intensity ...

The area of multimodal interaction has expanded rapidly and since the seminal “Put that there” demonstrator of R. Bolt that combines speech, gesture and eye tracking, significant achievements have been made in terms of both modalities and real multimodal systems. Nevertheless the design and development of multimodal systems still remains a difficult task. In this article, we present a graphical...

Aeronautic/aerospace applications, both military and commercial, are accounting for a large share of the growing composite market in value. However, their share of the market in volume is much smaller. Costs are high when large amounts of carbon fiber reinforcements are used. These high performance composite materials have six properties that give them an edge over traditional materials: longer...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the nature and cause of spinal disabilities among military and civil aircrew in India. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Studies suggest that military aircrew may be more prone than nonaviators to develop spinal disabilities. An in-depth analysis of such disabilities can enable policy makers to develop data-driven preventive health programs. Extensi...

development of monitoring systems to fault detection, in offensive and defensive systems, uav, aircraft and other complex systems technically make it possible and favorable, predictive diagnosis of faults. health management model and predict equipment failures (phm) were created in recent years by formation a strong bond of science in engineering, computer and reliability. for this reason, more...
