Comparison of Three Angle of Attack (AOA) Indicators: A Usability Study
<p>Angle of Attack (AOA) is an important aeronautical concept used to understand the performance status of an aircraft during different flight stages. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has indicated the importance of developing and encouraging the use of affordable AOA based systems to …

Fly Like a Naval Aviator: Effect of Procedural Angle-of-Attack Training on Pilot Comprehension and Decision-Making in General Aviation
… and operators, the FAA streamlined installation of angle of attack (AOA) systems in GA fleets. Yet studies suggest GA pilots are ill-equipped to use these systems without training. Pilot performance suffers when an AOA is added to the flight deck because pilots’ knowledge with these systems is …

An Archival Analysis of Stall Warning System Effectiveness During Airborne Icing Encounters
… study was conducted to determine the influence of stall warning system performance on aircrew decision-making outcomes during airborne icing encounters. A Conservative Icing Response Bias (CIRB) model was developed to explain the historical variability in aircrew performance in the face of …

Experimental Evaluation of Wheel-Rail Interaction
… provides a detailed experimental evaluation of wheel-rail interaction for railroad vehicles, using the Virginia Tech Federal Railroad Administration (VT-FRA) Roller Rig. Various contact dynamics that emulate field application of railroad wheels on tracks are set up on the rig under precise, …

Effect of frontal gusts and stroke deviation in forward flapping flight and deconstructing the aerodynamics of a fruit bat
… wing conformation have on the fluid dynamics of flapping flight. The primary motivation is to better grasp the fundamental fluid phenomena driving efficient flapping flight in the Reynolds number regime of birds, bats, and man made fliers of similar scale. The CFD solver (GenIDLEST) used is a …
