    • Cell fleet planning : an industry case study 

      Silva, Armando C. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1984], 1984)
      The objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the practical use of the Cell Fleet Planning Model in planning the fleet for the U.S. airline industry. The Cell Model is a cell theory, linear programming approach to fleet ...

    • The interaction of radio frequency electromagnetic fields with atmospheric water droplets and application to aircraft ice prevention 

      Hansman, Robert John (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Technology Laboratory, 1982, 1982)
      In this work the physics of advanced microwave anti-icing systems, which pre-heat impinging supercooled water droplets prior to impact, is studied by means of a computer simulation and is found to be feasible. In order to ...

    • Aircraft collision models 

      Endoh, Shinsuke (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1982], 1982)
      Introduction: The threat of midair collisions is one of the most serious problems facing the air traffic control system and has been studied by many researchers. The gas model is one of the models which describe the expected ...
