Literature Review Aircraft Trajectory Prediction By Cameron Sheridan I. Abstract The purpose of this review is to identify and analyse work that is currently being done on aircraft trajectory prediction (ATP); particularly the approach of modern day researchers to the problematic issue of the growingly clustered airspace. The benefits of this review include the exploration of several sub-topics of the literature. Through examining the current methods towards trajectory modelling validation

The piston engines were used to rotate the fans at high speeds which provide the thrust for the aircraft to move forward. Since the thrust that could be developed by the piston engine is limited‚ they cannot be used in aircrafts that need high speed and thrust. Hence‚ piston engines are mostly restricted to training flights and slow flights. There were many modifications like the supercharger that were added to the piston engine which provided extras thrust to the existing engines. The supercharger

Also‚ “the B-25 was named after Major General Billy Mitchell” (Hickman). One other reason is‚ the B-25 was used many years after the war in foreign countries and was used as training aircraft in America. Altogether‚ the bomber was very successful‚ known‚ and used around the world. The B-25 had a very powerful engine and was

Tool control affects safety. Leaving a tool in an aircraft‚ engine or a piece of support equipment is not just an inconvenience‚ it is a safety risk. Realizing this‚ in our aircraft maintenance department superiors enforce some sort of tool control procedures. They realize that establishing and enforcing a tool control program can provide numerous benefits‚ the foremost of which is safety. The effect of Foreign Object Debris (FOD) on maintenance costs can be significant. For example‚ the cost to

Winglets are near-vertical extensions of the wing tips used to increase the performance of an aircraft by reducing wingtip vortices and increasing the lift-to-drag ratio. Winglets were first studied by Richard Whitcomb in the late 1970’s to improve upon aircraft efficiency at a time when fuel conservation was necessary to save on costs with the rising fuel prices. Whitcomb found that winglets could offer an improvement in the lift-to-drag ration over planar wingtip extensions at the same level of
