Helicopter training simulators: Key market factors [PDF]
Simulators will gain an increasingly important role in training helicopter pilots only if the simulators are of sufficient fidelity to provide positive transfer of skills to the aircraft. This must be done within an economic model of return on investment.

Enhancing Urban Air Mobility Scheduling Through Declarative Reasoning and Stakeholder Modeling
AerospaceThe goal of this paper is to optimize mission schedules for vertical airports (vertiports in short) to satisfy the different needs of stakeholders. We model the problem as a resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) to obtain the best ...
