Restraint Systems for Civil Aircraft

2023
<div class="section abstract"> <div class="htmlview paragraph">This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) specifies laboratory test procedures and minimum requirements for the manufacturer of restraint systems for use in civil aircraft. It is intended to establish a minimum level of quality which can be called upon by the designer of those systems.

Trajectory Comparison for Civil Aircraft

2007 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2007
This paper investigates the algorithms needed to compare two tracker outputs running on the same air situation trajectories. Tracking system provides aircraft trajectories containing aircraft kinematics supplemented with additional data. Tracker accuracy performance as well as tracker data output integrity and continuity is essential for controllers ...

The Economics of VTOL Civil Aircraft

Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, 1974
The author compares the performance of various types of VTOL aircraft. He concludes that inter-city VTOL services will be commercially viable in the late 1970s, but that their introduction would cause disruption and disturbance out of all proportion to the slight saving in time for a few travellers.

Active controls for civil aircraft

The Aeronautical Journal, 1979
‘Active Control Technology’ (ACT) is a jargon of the last few years describing the technological requirements which permit the earlier concept of the Control Configured Vehicle (CCV). The CCV idea was that by suitably driving specially arranged controls, various desirable aircraft characteristics, notaby stability and good handling, could be provided ...

Views of Civil Aircraft Manufacturers

The Aeronautical Journal, 1979
The growth potential of air transport has been realised since the late 1960s /early 1970s when, in the UK, imaginative marketing by tour operators caused a boom in bookings for inclusive tour holidays and scheduled airlines operating across the Atlantic in this period introduced the first of an eventual flood of discount fares.

Servicing and Maintenance of Civil Aircraft

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1942
ONE of the many problems confronting those responsible for the maintenance and repair of aircraft, aero‐engines, airscrews, and ancillary equipment is that of providing the highly specialized plant, tools and test rigs necessary for the efficient handling, processing, and testing of the many varied and sometimes complicated components which form part ...

The Prospects for Civil V.T.O.L. Aircraft

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1966
AT the present time, with preparations in hand for the advent of the supersonic transport aircraft, it is a sobering thought that the fastest overall journey speed between the centres of London and Paris is of the order of 80 m.p.h. Despite the relatively high standard of comfort offered by the modern airliner over short stages its main attraction ...

Search radar for civil aircraft

Journal of the British Institution of Radio Engineers, 1952
The possible functions of airborne radar are briefly reviewed. Consideration of the basic design problems of a system intended primarily for (1) Detection of cumulo-nimbus clouds, (2) High ground avoidance, and (3) Map painting, indicates that a power of 10 kW at 3 cm with a 6-deg beam width is adequate.

Requirements for Future Civil Aircraft

The Aeronautical Journal, 1969
Requirements fall into two categories: —(i) the demands of the market leading to a capacity requirement, which, dependent on the technical solutions, leads to a market requirement in terms of the number of aircraft.(ii) the technical requirements in terms of the vehicle characteristics required to provide the most competitive aircraft to achieve ...

Essential Points in Civil Aircraft

Aircraft Engineering and Aerospace Technology, 1932
IN judging the qualities of commercial aeroplanes, there are a great many factors which should be compared, all of which contribute in a greater or less degree towards making the aeroplane in a general sense suitable for the conveyance of passengers and the transportation of goods in accordance with present‐day requirements.
