Metaverses embedded in our lives create virtual experiences inside of the physical world. Moving towards metaverses in aircraft maintenance, mixed reality (MR) creates enormous opportunities for the interaction with virtual airplanes (digital twin) t...
Digital twins have revolutionized manufacturing and maintenance, allowing us to interact with virtual yet realistic representations of the physical world in simulations to identify potential problems or opportunities for improvement. However, traditi...
Runway Safety Assistant Foreseeing Excursions (RUNSAFE) is a complete embedded system solution, that predicts a potential runway overrun of a civil aviation aircraft during takeoff and landing. This work examines the feasibility of such a system, thr...
The application of the wings with a high aspect ratio for future-oriented transport category aircraft is being considered. Such a solution makes it possible to increase fuel efficiency by reducing induced drag. This goal is achieved by increasing the...
In this paper, we present the procedure of estimating the aerodynamic coefficients for a commercial aviation aircraft from geometric parameters at low-cruise-flight conditions using US DATCOM (United States Data Compendium) and XFLR software. The pur...
Climate change requires the reduction of energy consumption in transport and the associated fuel consumption, and emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. This issue is particularly relevant to air transport. Referring to the current legislative a...
The Boeing 737 MAX crisis and COVID-19 pandemic have seriously influenced the development of China’s aircraft leasing industry in the past two years. This paper applies system dynamics theory to explore the sustainable development of China&rsqu...
The PARSIFAL project (Prandtlplane ARchitecture for the Sustainable Improvement of Future AirpLanes) aims to promote an innovative box-wing aircraft: the PrandtlPlane. Aircraft developed adopting this configuration are expected to achieve a payload c...
The goal of current study is to discern the antecedents of two airplane accidents involving the Boeing MAX 737. The theory of normal accidents serves as a lens to comprehend the hazard stemming from MAX design with dissonance between two critical sys...
Prognostics and health management is an engineering discipline that aims to support system operation while ensuring maximum safety and performance. Prognostics is a key step of this framework, focusing on developing effective maintenance policies bas...
Downslope windstorms are known sources of hazardous weather, such as severe gusty winds, rapid temperature changes, ship icing, strong turbulence and others, posing a great danger to people and infrastructure. This paper investigates the risks of shi...
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, understanding airborne pathogen transmission within confined spaces became critically important. The release of infectious aerosols through activities such as breathing, speaking, and coughing poses significant health risk...
Safety is of paramount concern in aerospace and aviation. Safety has evolved over the years, from the technical era to the human-factors era and organizational era, and finally to the present era of systems-thinking. Building upon three foundational...
In order to realize the detection and recognition of specific types of an aircraft in remote sensing images, this paper proposes an algorithm called Fine-grained S2ANet (FS2ANet) based on the improved Single-shot Alignment Network (S2ANet) for remote...
Aviation’s sustainability discourse often centres on flight emissions, but production and end-of-life phases also carry material, energy, and pollution impacts that are large enough to merit systematic intervention. With ~13,000 aircraft projec...
In this paper, we consider the application of brute force computational techniques (BFCTs) for solving computational problems in mathematical analysis and matrix algebra in a floating-point computing environment. These techniques include, among other...
The timely identification of probable causes in aviation incidents is crucial for averting future tragedies and safeguarding passengers. Typically, investigators rely on flight data recorders; however, delays in data retrieval or damage to the device...
