Cockpit display of hazardous weather information [PDF]

open access: yes
Information transfer and display issues associated with the dissemination of hazardous weather warnings are studied in the context of windshear alerts. Operational and developmental windshear detection systems are briefly reviewed.

An expert system for wind shear avoidance [PDF]

open access: yes
A study of intelligent guidance and control concepts for protecting against the adverse effects of wind shear during aircraft takeoffs and landings is being conducted, with current emphasis on developing an expert system for wind shear avoidance ...

A simple, analytic 3-dimensional downburst model based on boundary layer stagnation flow [PDF]

open access: yes
A simple downburst model is developed for use in batch and real-time piloted simulation studies of guidance strategies for terminal area transport aircraft operations in wind shear conditions.

An airborne FLIR detection and warning system for low altitude wind shear [PDF]

open access: yes
It is shown through some preliminary flight measurement research that a forward looking infrared radiometer (FLIR) system can be used to successfully detect the cool downdraft of downbursts (microbusts/macrobursts) and thunderstorm gust front outflows ...

Optimal recovery from microburst wind shear [PDF]

open access: yes
Severe low-altitude wind variability represents an infrequent but significant hazard to aircraft taking off or landing. During the period from 1964 to 1985, microburst wind shear was a contributing factor in at least 26 civil aviation accidents involving
