Survey of in-flight replanning performed on the flight deck

17th DASC. AIAA/IEEE/SAE. Digital Avionics Systems Conference. Proceedings (Cat. No.98CH36267), 2002
A two-part survey of pilots is summarized in which the effects of pilot reports on decision making behavior was examined. The survey involved a questionnaire on the world wide web and a more focused series of personal interviews. Replanning decisions in response to turbulence and weather were examined.

The flight performance of tsetse flies

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1975
Abstract The four species of tsetse used are shown to be aerodynamically rather similar. The wingbeat frequency, aerodynamic lift, flight duration, and number of wingbeats per flight are seen to undergo large increases during adult maturation. Tsetse can produce unusually large aerodynamic lifts, although the flight performance declines very quickly ...

THE COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY SATELLITE FLIGHT PERFORMANCE

Acta Astronautica, 1977
The Communications Technology Satellite (Hermes) was launched by NASA on 17 January 1976 as part of a joint U.S./Canadian program in which Canada designed, assembled and now operates the satellite. The satellite's primary features include a travelling wave tube (TWT) operating at a frequency of 12 Gigahertz with a power output of greater than 200 watts,

Flight Performance of a Dragonfly

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1988
ABSTRACT The dragonfly, Anaxparthenope julius (Brauer) was observed in free flight, and a theoretical analysis of flight performance at various speeds was carried out. The variation with time of forces and moments acting on wings and body in steady trimmed flight was calculated by the local circulation method.

Hypoxia and Flight Performance of Military Instructor Pilots in a Flight Simulator

Aviation, Space, and Environmental Medicine, 2010
Military aircrew and other operational personnel frequently perform their duties at altitudes posing a significant hypoxia risk, often with limited access to supplemental oxygen. Despite the significant risk hypoxia poses, there are few studies relating it to primary flight performance, which is the purpose of the present study.Objective, quantitative ...

In-flight performance of the IUE

Nature, 1978
A report on the initial performance of the IUE satellite, launched in January, 1978, is given. Attention is given to optical performance, camera performance, background corrections, photometric performance, and data reduction. Samples of high-dispersion and low-dispersion spectra are shown.

Performances of the OBELIX time of flight system

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1995
Abstract The characteristics and performances of a large time of flight detector which is composed by two scintillator barrels, installed between the poles of an axial field magnet as part of the OBELIX spectrometer, are described. The associated electronics, data acquisition system and analysis technique used in the system are discussed in details ...
