The cost of noise reduction for powered-lift S.T.O.L. aircraft
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1973], 1973)
The direct operating costs and noise impacts of a wide variety of Externally Blown Flap and Augmentor Wing STOL short haul transport aircraft designs were evaluated to study the costs of noise reduction for these types of ...
A proposed system for aviation noise measurement and control
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory [1973], 1973)
This report reviews previous work on various measures for aviation noise, and proposes a completely new system for aviation noise measurement and control compatible with real time, operational noise monitoring hardware. ...
Simulator evaluation of manually flown curved instrument approaches
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1973], 1973)
Pilot performance in flying horizontally curved instrument approaches was analyzed by having nine test subjects fly curved approaches in a fixed-base simulator. Approaches were flown without an autopilot and without a ...
A comparative analysis of area navigation systems for general aviation
(Cambridge, Mass. : MIT, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1973], 1973)
Within the next decade area navigation is to become the primary method of air navigation within the United States. There are numerous radio navigation systems that offer the capabilities of area navigation to general ...
