Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (WIT Wildau Institute of Technology), course: Aviation Management, language: English, comment: Bewertung: Die eingereichte Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit der sehr komplexen Thematik der europaischen Luftfahrtgesetzgebung und der sich daraus ergebenden Verpflichtungen fur die Teilnehmer am Luftverkehr. Es wurden die zum gegenwartigen Zeitpunkt verfugbaren Unterlagen gepruft und bewertet, um daraus eine Handlungsempfehlung zu entwickeln um ein technisches System auch fur den Einsatz genehmigt zu bekommen. Die Arbeit lasst berufliche Erfahrung und eine vertiefte Fachkenntnis erkennen, die weit uber das innerhalb des Masterkurs vermittelte Wissen hinaus geht. Insgesamt eine sehr gute Arbeit., abstract: With the amendment of the European Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 by the new Regulation (EC) No 1108/2009 (into force since 14 December 2009), the area of competency of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is progressively extended towards a "total system approach" including ATM, ANS as well as airport safety and interoperability. This new regulation allows airport operators to continue with providing apron management service - but they have to "declare their capability" for offering this service within the certification process of the aerodrome. An advanced surface movement guidance and control system is one important tool for providing this service at large and complex airports. With the implementation of an advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS), the airport contributes to the precise surface guidance of aircraft to and from a runway while maintaining safe distance to each other as well as to obstacles and vehicles. The system is aimed to assist the ground controllers in managing the traffic situation on the movement area in all weather conditions.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: A, - (University of Zilina), course: Aviation, language: English, abstract: The economic situation of recent years forces to operate at highest payloads possible and therefore maximum allowable take-off masses of an aircraft. An optimization of the take-off performance plays important role as never before. The take-off performance data for several flight and ambient conditions are usually presented in so called runway analyses. This paper answers possible questions about their application and computing, which may interest a personnel of flight engineering departments or pilots. Moreover, this thesis offers a summary of factors affecting the maximum take-off mass and appropriate take-off speeds, which together represent necessary performance data for a safe take-off. Particular sections describe a principle of the optimization process and offer a designed conceptual model in a form of flowcharts according to which it is possible to perform a calculation for various aerodrome or weather conditions. The created conceptual model may also serve as a core for the software application, which reduces the time required to do the calculation manually.

Every ten years ICAO holds a worldwide air transport conference. The most recent such event - the 6th Worldwide Air Transport Conference (ATConf/6) - was held in Montreal from 18 to 22 March 2013. The questions posed by this book are: are the "clerical and administrative tasks" for ICAO which were decided on by ATConf/6 (and other preceding conferences) sufficient to meet the needs of the people of the world for safe, regular, economical and efficient air transport? Should ICAO not think outside of its 67-year-old box and become a beacon to air transport regulators? In other words, shouldn't the bottom line of ICAO's meaning and purpose in the field of air transport be to analyze trends and guide the air transport industry instead of continuing to merely act as a forum for global practitioners to gather and update information on their respective countries' policies for air transport? Shouldn't ICAO provide direction, as do other agencies of the United Nations? This book addresses ICAO's inability, unlike most other specialized agencies in their missions, to make a tangible difference in air transport development, through a discussion of key issues affecting the air transport industry. It also inquires into the future of air transport regulation.

This book is about the ways in which the development of technology impacts and is impacted by metaphysics - by abstract ideological currents and undercurrents that populate the environment in which the technology develops. The emphasis here is on the history of flight, both atmospheric flight and space flight. Much has been written and said about the interaction between the development of science (rather than technology) and ideology, or "metaphysics." Examples include the development of astronomy and geography, in terms of how these have been impacted by prevailing theories about the structure of the Solar System and Earth's status in it. Another example is represented by the diverging theories of evolution, which have deeply impacted biology, environmental sciences, and more. Both of the above ideological/scientific divergences were of course deeply anchored in religious beliefs and impacted them. In order to expand the same argument regarding the interface between science and metaphysics, and also apply it to the technology/metaphysics domain, we delve into the differences between science and technology. The bulk of this book centers on aviation and space-flight technologies, and attempts to place those in the context of abstract ideologies and ideas that surrounded their development at the time. Why the choice of those particular technological domains of all the huge variety of technologies that have developed in the last two centuries since the Industrial Revolution? The latter, in a way, served as a starting line for an unfathomable wave of technological innovation and merging of technology with society in its broadest sense.

"Sky Alert! What Happens When Satellites Fail" explores for the first time what our modern world would be like if we were suddenly to lose most, if not all, of our space assets. The author demonstrates humankind's dependence on space satellites and show what might happen to various aspects of our economy, defense, and daily lives if they were suddenly destroyed. The book opens with a consideration of how our space assets might be lost in the first place: through orbital debris, war, and solar storms. The author then looks at what would happen if our satellites were lost, including the effect on weather forecasting, and the Global Positioning System, explaining GPS in detail and its importance to the military, including spy satellites and military reconnaissance, commerce, civilians, communications and remote sensing - both resource monitoring and locating and environmental monitoring and science. The effects of losing such assets as the International Space Station as well as such research satellites as the Hubble Space Telescope or the Chandra X-Ray Observatory are also considered. Part III of the book looks at how we can protect our satellites, preparing for the worst, reducing the growth and amount of orbital debris, preventing acts of war in space and hardening against space radiation. The book ends on an optimistic note: most spacefaring nations are now working together to develop new technologies to reduce the threat posed by orbital debris and in-space nuclear detonations and treaties exist to limit the development and use of weapons in space. Finally, it is hoped that it will not be long before we will be able to better predict and take precautions against solar storms. The global economy has now become so dependent upon satellites that their loss would be devastating - to the economy, to national security, and potentially, to the day-to-day survival of those who live in the world's most advanced economies.

Whilst most contemporary books in the aerospace propulsion field are dedicated primarily to gas turbine engines, there is often little or no coverage of other propulsion systems and devices such as propeller and helicopter rotors or detailed attention to rocket engines. By taking a wider viewpoint, "Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion" aims to provide a broader context, allowing observations and comparisons to be made across systems that are overlooked by focusing on a single aspect alone. The physics and history of aerospace propulsion are built on step-by-step, coupled with the development of an appreciation for the mathematics involved in the science and engineering of propulsion. Combining the author''s experience as a researcher, an industry professional and a lecturer in graduate and undergraduate aerospace engineering, "Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion" covers its subject matter both theoretically and with an awareness of the practicalities of the industry. To ensure that the content is clear, representative but also interesting the text is complimented by a range of relevant graphs and photographs including representative engineering, in addition to several propeller performance charts. These items provide excellent reference and support materials for graduate and undergraduate projects and exercises. Students in the field of aerospace engineering will find that "Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion" supports their studies from the introductory stage and throughout more intensive follow-on studies.
