Full textThis thesis will evaluate system and process elements to initiate requirements modeling necessary for the next generation Digitized Aircraft Spotting (Ouija) Board for use on U.S. Navy aircraft carriers to track and plan aircraft movement. The research will examine and evaluate the feasibility and suitability of transforming the existing two-dimensional static board to an electronic, dynamic display that will enhance situational awareness by using sensors and system information from various sources to display a comprehensive operational picture of the current flight and hangar decks aboard aircraft carriers. The authors will evaluate the current processes and make recommendations on elements the new system would display. These elements include what information is displayed, which external systems feed information to the display, and how intelligent agents could be used to transform the static display to a powerful decision support tool. Optimally, the Aircraft Handler will use this system to effectively manage the Flight and Hangar decks to support the projection of air power from U.S. aircraft carriers.

Wolfson, Dianna. "A solution to the inherent list on Nimitz class aircraft carriers." Thesis, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10945/37784.
Full textNimitz class aircraft carriers possess an inherent list to starboard that their list control systems (LCS) are typically unable to correct while under Combat Load Conditions. As a result, it has become necessary to use fresh water ballast in a number of inner bottom voids and damage control voids to augment the LCS. Maintaining liquid ballast in damage conrol voids in unacceptable, as it reduces the design counter flooding capability of the ship, and thus reduces ship survivability. In order to restore the ships operational flexibility and achieve the necesssary/desired list correction, this study determines the effect of adding solid ballast to a series of voids/tanks identified on the 2nd, 4th, and 8th descks. Based on this ballast density, tank location and capacity, ease of ballast installation, minor tank structural modifications, and a decision making cost analysis, solid ballast was determined to be the most advantageous for use in correcting the inherent list on the Nimitz class aircraft carriers. Fresh water ballast was also examined as a possible alternative, but not as extensively due to the large quantity of water required and its limited ability to achieve a list correction. Nimitz class aircraft carriers currently have an average list of 1.5 degrees and a KG of 47 feet. Since their allowable KG cannot exceed 48.5 feet, the average service life allowance (SLA) for KG is approximately 1.5 feet. This study shows that by adding approimately 400 Iton of solid ballast, list can be corrected by 1.5 degrees with only a 0.1 percent increase of KG. Thus, to permanently fix the average Nimitz class aircraft carrier starboard list, their would be a 0.05 foor increase in KG, which in all cases is within the SLA. Additionally, this study shows that this 1.5 degree list correction can be accomplished at a low cost of approximately $1,200 per Iton. Considering the reduction in operational constraints and the benefits to ship survivability, this is truly an inexpensive proposition.

This work is a first order assessment of the technical feasibility and characteristics of technologies to produce fuel onboard aircraft carriers, which is of interested to the United States Navy. They are interested because the logistical burden and supply chain required for delivering fuel at sea is dangerous, expensive, and subject to changes in markets price for liquid fuels. This work is a first order assessment of the technical feasibility and characteristics of technologies to produce fuel onboard aircraft carriers. The plant is evaluated for three technology pathways: Alkaline electrolysis and the reverse water gas shift (AE+RWGS), solid oxide electrolysis and RWGS (SOEC+RWGS), and co-electrolysis of steam and CO₂. They are evaluated within two scenarios: a small infrequently operating plant leveraging excess nuclear power (Scenario A) and a large frequently operating plant with dedicated nuclear capacity.
In addition, a parameter sweep of fuel production capacity and capacity factor is conducted to assess impacts on fuel production costs. In Scenario A, the energy requirements ranged from 152-22OMWe and fuel production cost ranged from 1.91-4.49$/L. In Scenario B, the energy requirements ranged in 1380-2066MWe and fuel production costs ranged from 3.25-4.23$/L. In both scenarios, AE+RWGS was the most cost effective and co-electrolysis was the most energy efficient. The fuel produced reduced lifecycle CO₂ equivalent emissions by 85.3-90.2%. The plant volume and weight were 50-67% and 432% of a current aircraft carrier design at large scales. The results of the parameter sweep indicate that generally a larger more frequently operating plant is more cost effective, but dedicated nuclear capacity requirements diminishes this benefit.
The overall results indicate that a fuel production plant on an aircraft carrier is technically feasible and has the potential to be cost effective, though research into cost, weight, and volume reduction are still necessary.

Full textThis thesis presents two predominant legal implications of such a practice, involving two carriers for a single flight: the contracting carrier and the operating carrier.
First, this study aims at examining the relationship between users/passengers and code-share partners, more particularly identifying the practice as misleading due to the non-disclosure of the actual operator of the flight, which is magnified by the inaccuracy and shortcomings of computerised reservation systems (CRS). The regulatory framework in this regard is described and the legal obligation to disclose the identity of the actual carrier is given top priority. The delimitation of operational responsibilities will also be addressed (inadmissible passengers, overbooking and baggage concerns). The private agreement between the code-share partners will be given importance in ascertaining the liability issues.
Second, the current international liability regime is analysed with a view to consider the code-sharing scenario. The potential conflict between the different international legal regimes governing air carriers' liability is highlighted in order that this aspect be taken into account by the code-share partners in their contractual agreement.
Last but not least, some provisions of the new Montreal Convention of 28 May 1999 will be examined. A closer look will be given specifically to those provisions of Chapter V that are particularly applicable to a code-sharing situation.

Full textThis thesis focuses on special aspects of the Raman spectroscopical characterization of wurtzite gallium nitride (wz-GaN). The correlation between wafer curvature and residual stress is discussed. By means of confocal micro-Raman measurements doping profiles were detected as well as the density and mobility of free charge carriers were deduced. All Raman scattering cross sections of wz-GaN were determined the first time using different scattering configurations. A novel method for near-forward scattering was developed in order to observe phonon polaritons with pure symmetry. It is shown that the theoretical and experimental consideration of the Raman scattering efficiency of these elementary excitations allow for determining the sign of the Faust-Henry coefficients of wz-GaN unambiguously. The Faust-Henry coefficients of GaN were deduced from Raman scattering efficiencies of corresponding TO and LO phonons

Full textSteam leakage from an aircraft carrier catapult is sometimes ingested into the aircraft engines upon launch which may induce compressor stall. Investigation of this phenomenon is of particular interest to the Navy with its new F35C, the aircraft carrier variant of the joint strike fighter. The single engine configuration of the F-35C makes this aircraft particularly vunerable to steam-induced stall. The present study examined both throttle-induced stall and steam-induced stall in a compressor at 90% and 95% speed through the use of 9 Kulite and 2 hot-film pressure transducers. The use of Fast Fourier Transform waterfall plots of the transient data before and during stall proved invaluable in determining stall precursors as well as the mode of rotor stall. In addition, a new computational fluid dynamic model was designed using CFX-5 software to represent a single blade passage of the compressor rotor, in order to predict compressor performance. The computed results were compared to experimental results gathered at various throttle settings. An accurate model will enable researchers to predict compressor performance for various and multiple gases.

With the rising fuel price and competitivness in the air transport market, a number of Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) are launched over the past few years. Like full service airlines, LCCs have to comply with the maintenance requirements of airworthiness regulation; however, full service airlines normally own their own Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO), while LCCs are usually incapable of building their own in-house maintenance capabilities due to the limitation of fleet size and capital. As a result, LCCs are facing more and more maintenance challenges and problems than full service airlines. This study therefore aims to explore the maintnenace strategies for LCCs and the influence of these strategies on aviation maintenance especially interms of outsouricng. The findings are as follows: 1. Fleet technical management and light maintenance will be conducted by LCCs themselves. Once fleet size become larger, LCCs will build up part of heavy maintenance. LCCs tend to outsource the engine repair/overhaul and supplies of spare parts to MRO. 2. Contract price, quality, reliability and turn-around time for maintenance outsourcing are major factors in selecting MRO. 3. Hour price model is adopted in engine, parts repair/overhaul contracts. Package price model is suitable for heavy maintenance and supplies of spare parts contracts. 4. Although LCCs outsource most of their maintenance tasks to save maintenance cost, they lose the opportunities of obtaining and accumulating technical knowledge in maintenance at the same time, which might jeopardize LCCs’ performance in maintenance management. 5. In order to achieve the standards of flight safety requirement without affecting operational flight schedule, LCCs should pay much more attention to deal with outsourcing contract and maintenance quality audit.

The cost of aircraft maintenance for airlines shares a significant portion of the company’s overall operating costs, and thus reducing aircraft maintenance costs and establishing the effective cost control system have become the main concern for airlines’ top administrators. Above all, aircraft parts, which directly affect flight safety and operations, are the major components to the cost of aircraft maintenance. Therefore, reducing aircraft parts inventory and controlling costs while maintaining high quality guarantee rate for aircraft parts at the same time have become an important goal for airlines. Through SWOT analysis, this research analyzes the factors affecting the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for the current aircraft parts inventory of the Taiwanese owned carriers. Also, through the appropriate combination of TOWS matrix, strategies for aircraft parts management are proposed. By using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and having interviews with aviation industry experts, the order of priority of those nineteen specific topics set up by the experts is established. Then, the study about the aircraft parts control is presented in the form of question statement. The study shows that the product quality and prices of aircraft parts are the two major considerations in selecting a supplier. Selecting a supplier will have a great and direct impact on purchasing costs for every airline. To compete against its competitors, an airline tends to develop into long term relationships with its existing suppliers to increase suppliers’ performance. Therefore, the evaluation of the current suppliers’ performance and the implementation of the aircraft parts supply chain management have become the most important issue for airlines aircraft parts management.

Airlines enterprise has the susceptible attributes to internal and external factors inherently. Not only the economic fluctuation but the political and technological factors can influence finance, operation and punctuality etc. Today, global aviation market has grown rapidly, especially low cost carriers. From 2006 to 2017, low cost carriers’ worldwide seats capacity share has raised from 15.7 percent to 28.7 percent. On the other hand, LCCs prefer to adopt the point to point services on flight network design. It indeed has the drawbacks, for instance, delay propagation is more prevalent for point to point carriers than network carriers. This study aims to build a system simulation model to analyze the aircraft routing principles for the “T Airlines”, the sole Taiwanese LCC. Then, this study proposed some dispatching principles, including first-in-first-out (FIFO), last-in-first-out (LIFO), partial-fix FIFO (PFIFO) and partial-fix LIFO (PLIFO), to evaluate the possible improvement for its delay and On-time performance. The test data, including all flights of T Airlines from 2nd Apr. 2017 to 1St Apr. 2018 retrieved from the flightradar24 website. As the simulation results with ARENA, FIFO, LIFO and PLIFO dispatching principles reveal delay improvement with significantly statistical difference than the practical assignment. However, the PFIFO dispatching principle seems to yield better performance than other dispatching principles.

Full textNas últimas décadas, as companhias aéreas de baixos preços revolucionaram os mercados de rotas de curta e longa distância a nível global. A viabilidade deste modelo de negócio foi confirmada pelas suas operações rentáveis, o que recentemente suscitou um aumento no número de companhias aéreas de baixos preços a apostar no lucrativo mercado das viagens de longo curso. No entanto, não há até ao momento provas consistentes quanto à viabilidade do modelo de negócio de companhias aéreas de preços baixos em rotas de longa distância; eventos recentes tal como a insolvência da Wow Air deram origem a fortes dúvidas. Esta tese pretende examinar a viabilidade do modelo de negócio de companhias aéreas de baixo custo em voos de longo curso, conduzindo a uma detalhada investigação da Norwegian Air Shuttle ASA e da Eurowings GmbH em rotas de longa distância. Posteriormente, um inovador modelo de negócio é desenvolvido. As conclusões principais incluem a revelação que o modelo de negócios das companhias aéreas de preços baixos em rotas de longo curso é maioritariamente viável. Contudo, as duas companhias aéreas selecionadas revelaram que atingir lucros ainda permanece difícil, independentemente do modelo operacional e da estrutura organizacional. Para assegurar a sua viabilidade, o modelo de negócio tem de ser inovado. Neste contexto, um modelo operacional simples é crucial para o sucesso de companhias aéreas de reduzido custo a operar em rotas de longa distância. Adicionalmente, aviões estreitos de nova-geração com gastos eficientes de combustível, como o Airbus A321 XLR poderão potenciar novas oportunidades de manter operações lucrativas em voos de longo curso.
