The Glide Path Less Traveled: A Critical Examination of Assumptions, Outcomes, and Glide Path Specification

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
This paper defines key assumptions, derived from empirical data, to deliver highly accurate and representative simulations of participant outcomes. The paper constructs an alternative glide path design that we believe more efficiently balances major retirement savings risks — longevity/shortfall, return sequence, and inflation — than the industry ...

Wind Variations along a Glide Path

Journal of Navigation, 1968
A method of measuring wind variations along an aircraft glide path is described. The technique uses a ground-based pulsed doppler radar to measure the line of sight velocity of precipitation particles. At low angles of elevation this velocity is that of die horizontal wind component toward the radar.Wind variations likely to be encountered by an ...

A Flush-Mounted Glide-Path System

IRE Transactions on Aeronautical and Navigational Electronics, 1962
An instrument-landing system glide-path has been developed which produces a straight-line path originating directly from the touchdown region on the runway. This system makes use of five flush-mounted runway antennas which are mounted directly in the runway, thus eliminating the ground-reflected signals which are presently used to form the path.

Divergence From Equilibrium Glide Path at Supersatellite Velocities

ARS Journal, 1961
speed (8 frames/sec) short exposure (^T sec) motion picture photography. A typical shadowgraph of the "on design" condition is shown in Fig. 2. The boundary of the nozzle flow (as shown by the dashed white line) is aligned with the nozzle axis. Shadowgraphs of the flow field with pressure ratios (stagnation to surroundings) above and below design are ...

Improvements in Glide Path Transmitters

1949
The glide path transmitter which is part of the CAA instrument landing system operates in the frequency region of 335 MC. This report discusses some of the modifications made at the experimental station.

A Glide Path for Target Date Fund Annuitization

The Journal of Retirement, 2015
We describe a recursive algorithm that computes the timing and quantity of purchase of deferred income annuities (DIAs) within target-date funds (TDF) in defined contribution (DC) plans, although the algorithm could also be applied within any retirement account.

Glide Path 2.0: The Next Generation

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
This paper offers the foundation for a new framework for optimal glide path design. The key message this paper is if we are willing to accept a couple of modest and sensible assumptions, then there are advanced economic theories readily available for the design of efficient glide paths.

Delays to Aircraft Serviced by the Glide-Path

Journal of the Operational Research Society, 1962
This paper considers some of the statistical service, flow and delay problems which arriving aircraft encounter in the glide-path of an airport runway. Mathematical expressions for service time distributions and delays are formulated in terms of the probability distributions of spacings between discharges of the glide-path.
