An Analysis of the Problems Impeding the Ground Operations in the Air Freight Industry
… took a poor third place to passenger and mail operations. As a rule, only the residual space on passenger aircraft was made available for freight, effectively contributing to its poor showing. The situation improved very slowly, and prior to World War II, air transport still handled very little …

Modeling of ground operations using end-around (perimeter) taxiways for the modernized Chicago O'Hare International Airport
By 2031, U.S. air carriers are projected to transport 1.3 billion passengers within the U.S. National Airspace System, with system capacity projected to increase an average of 3.6 percent per year (FAA Aerospace Forecasts 2011-2031). Through the Next Generation Air Transport System project, a …

Autonomous navigation of distributed spacecraft using intersatellite laser communications
… navigation can help mitigate challenges in ground operations, such as determining and disseminating orbit solutions. Several autonomous navigation methods have been previously studied, using some combination of on-board sensors that can measure relative range or bearing to known bodies, such …

Potential benefits of information sharing during the arrival process at hub airports
… to simulate airline decisions regarding ground operations. The model has been calibrated and validated to reflect airline decision making. Scenario analyses were conducted using the model to estimate the delay savings that an airline could realize through the use of more accurate landing …

Aircraft emissions reductions through improved operational performance : challenges, opportunities and policy implications
… carriers. Results indicate that fuel bum during ground operations has been growing at a faster rate than operations or total mission time in US domestic aviation and may therefore become a considerable constraint to airport expansion, and that the potential for local emissions reductions through …

Development of Safety Standards for CubeSat Propulsion Systems
… author discusses hazards that could exist during ground operations and through launch with respect to hazardous materials and pressure systems. Most of the standards related to Range Safety are drawn from AFSPCMAN 91-710. Having reviewed a range of hypothetical propulsion system architectures with …

Impact of environmental law enforcement on deforestation, land use and natural regeneration in the Brazilian Amazon
… of environmental law enforcement, mostly ground operations in the Brazilian Amazon region, on reducing deforestation, reshaping land use change, through livestock, agriculture and natural restoration, and the persistence of natural regeneration. First, I assess the influence of law …
