Cover Story: The availability of different types of data and advances in data-driven techniques open the path to more-detailed analyses of various phenomena. Using data mining techniques, we analyze historical flight trajectories, aiming to identify the usual choices that airlines make in terms of routing and how they relate to aircraft types and operational flight costs. The clustering is applied to intra-European trajectories during a summer season, and a statistical test of independence is used to evaluate the relationships between the variables of interest. The findings show that statistically significant relationships between the trajectory clusters and the operating airlines (in about 49% of city pairs), the aircraft types (30%), and/or the flight costs (45%) are found for flights longer than 1000 km.

Due to the small tilt angle, a tiltrotor operates in non-axial flow conditions during shipboard take-off and landing. The non-uniformity of the blade’s air-load is high, resulting in structural deformation with high fluctuation frequency, affec...
