The time dependent magnetohydrodynamic generator
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1974], 1974)
Introduction: Low magnetic Reynolds number magnetohydrodynamic generators as would be utilized in power plants are conceived of as steady state D.C. devices. Unsteady phenomena may exist in such generators however. ...
A Dynamic Programming approach to the Aircraft Sequencing problem
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1978], 1978)
In this report, a number of Dynamic Programming algorithms for three versions of the Aircraft Sequencing problem are developed. In these, two alternative objectives are considered: How to land all of a prescribed set of ...
Toward the definition and measurement of the mental workload of transport pilots
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
This report describes work performed in the first year of a continuing research project aimed at developing useful methods for measuring the workload of pilots operating aircraft in the ATC system. Good methods of measuring ...
User charges in international air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1979], 1979)
The charges dealt with here are those paid by international airline operators for the use of airports and airways. At airports, there are charges for landings and takeoffs and various fees or rentals for other facilities ...
An analytical study of advanced terminal area air traffic management and control
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1976], 1976)
This dissertation gives a comprehensive study of the theory and practice of the advanced terminal area air traffic management and control. The entire terminal area ATM/C system has been formulated as a feedback control ...
An economic analysis of the determination of congestion tolls at commercial airports
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1976], 1976)
This report examines the problem of determining runway fees at major commercial airports when the objective is the maximization of social benefits. Unlike most of the analytical work that has been performed to date, the ...
Ground facilities for a VTOL intercity air transportation system
([Cambridge M.I.T. Flight Transportation Laboratory] 1970, 1970)
The cost of noise reduction in commercial tilt rotor aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1974], 1974)
The relationship between direct operating cost and departure noise annoyance was developed for commercial tilt rotor aircraft. This was accomplished by generating a series of tilt rotor aircraft designs to meet various ...
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 ...
The state-of-the-art in air transportation demand and systems analysis : a report on the proceedings of a workshop sponsored by the Civil Aeronautics Board, Department of Transportation, and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (June 1975)
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975, 1975)
Introduction and summary: Forecasting air transportation demand has indeed become a complex and risky business in recent years, especially in view of unpredictable fuel prices, high inflation rates, a declining rate of ...
