A method for governing spacecraft evasive maneuvering
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1986], 1986)A computer program is developed to govern the evasive maneuvering of a spacecraft in response to an anti-spacecraft missile threat in regions of space where drag is not significant. With a view to circumventing the need ... -
A methodology for determining the relationship between air transportation demand and the level of service
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1976], 1976)Introduction: Within the last ten years significant advances in the state-of-the art in air travel demand analysis stimulated researchers in the domestic air transportation field. Among these advances, researchers in ... -

A model for forecasting future air travel demand on the North Atlantic
(Cambridge, Mass. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1971], 1971)Introduction: One of the key problems in the analysis and planning of any transport properties and facilities is estimating the future volume of traffic that may be expected to use these properties and facilities. Estimates ... -
Modeling airline group passenger demand for revenue optimization
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1991], 1991)Many airlines currently use a variety of analytic techniques for seat inventory control as part of a larger revenue or "yield" management system. However, much of the this effort has emphasized decisions based on the ... -
Modeling of wind and radar for simulation in four-dimensional navigation environment
(Cambridge : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, [1976], 1976)Disturbances affecting time control precision in four-dimension navigation are modeled. Several models of wind and turbulence from the ground to ten thousand feet are developed. A distinction is made between wind mean and ... -
Modelling risk in ATC operations with ground intervention
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1991, c1991)Preface: It was part of a continuing series of research work aimed at creating models for estimating Collision Risk for ATC operations which can be used by the Federal Aviation Administration and ICAO to establish safe ... -
A multi-regression analysis of airline indirect operating costs
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1968], 1968)A multiple regression analysis of domestic and local airline indirect costs was carried out to formulate cost estimating equations for airline indirect costs. Data from CAB and FAA sources covering the years 1962-66 was ... -

Network value concept in airline revenue management
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1998], 1998)A connecting passenger occupies a seat on each of the flight leg of his itinerary. Moreover, for a given fare class, the fare of a connecting passenger is lower than the sum of the fares of the local passengers on the ... -
New directions for forecasting air travel passenger demand
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974, 1974)While few will disagree that sound forecasts are an essential prerequisite to rational transportation planning and analysis, the making of these forecasts has become a complex problem with the broadening of the scope and ... -
On the numerical solution of simultaneous, non-linear equations in computer-aided preliminary design
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1986, c1986)In the solution of problems in preliminary design, it often becomes necessary to solve systems of equations. An immediate example from aeronautical design is the frequent need to perform several iterations around the gross ... -
