Analysis of aircraft fleets of U.S. major airlines since deregulation
(Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, c1992, c1992)
The purpose of this thesis is to relate the U.S. Major airlines changing use of aircraft to aviation policy and technology since deregulation of the U.S. airline industry enacted in 1978. First, a study of the airline fleet ...
Auditory Decision Aiding in Supervisory Control of Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(Human Factors: The Journal of the Human Factors and Ergonomics, 2009)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of sonification, continuous auditory alert mapped to the state of a monitored task, in supporting unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) supervisory control. Background: UAV supervisory ...
The Need for Command and Control Instant Message Adaptive Interfaces: Lessons Learned from Tactical Tomahawk Human-in-the-Loop Simulations
(CyberPsychology and Behavior, 2004)
In the recent development of a human-in-the-loop simulation test bed designed to examine human performance issues for supervisory control of the Navy’s new Tactical Tomahawk missile, measurements of operator situation ...
Time accurate internal flow solutions of the thin shear layer equations
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine & Plasma Dynamics Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1981], 1981)
An implicit factored algorithm for the solution of the thin shear layer approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations is described and explicit boundary conditions are developed for internal flow problems. This scheme is ...
Wave drag in transonic axial compressors
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine Laboratory, [1967], 1967)
Profiles of fluid properties, including flow angle, static and total pressures have been obtained behind a free wheeling 8" diameter transonic rotor. The latter consists of 40 blades with double circular arc profiles, a ...
Wall-shear-stress and laminarisation in accelerated turbulent compressible boundary-layers
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Gas Turbine Laboratory, [1968], 1968)
Turbulent-laminar transition in compressible, steeply-accelerated, adiabatic, turbulent boundary layers on a smooth wall was investigated experimentally in the ranges of Mach and Reynold's numbers typical of nozzles used ...
Small disturbances in compressor annuli with swirl, throughflow and entropy variation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1970], 1970)
Introduction: Control of the radiation of sound from the compressors and turbines of jet engines depends to a great extent on understanding of the propagation of acoustical modes in the ducting, the general design approach ...
Asymmetric inlet flow in axial turbomachines
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1959, 1959)
A modified actuator disc analysis is made which, through an improved prediction of the blade forces, attempts to give closer correspondence with experiment than the previous theory. The fluid is assumed inviscid and ...
The display of multi-dimensional flows in turbomachinery
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory , Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1972], 1972)
Introduction: As part of a general development of computational techniques for multidimensional flows through turbomachine passages and over turbomachine blading at the M.I.T. Gas Turbine Laboratory, display techniques and ...
The influence of tip clearance on stall limits of a rectilinear cascade of compressor blades
(Cambridge, Mass. : Gas Turbine Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1959], 1959)
An experimental study of the influence of tip clearance on the stall limits of compressor blades was conducted on a two dimensional rectilinear cascade. By using the mirror and image technique the end wall boundary layer ...
