Application of the calculus of variations in determining optimum flight profiles for commercial short haul aircraft
([Cambridge, Mass.] : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, 1966, 1966)
The method of steepest descent of the calculus of variations is used to determine the optimal flight profile of a hypothetical tilt wing aircraft travelling a distance of 50 miles. Direct operating cost, (as derived from ...
Air travel demand and airline seat inventory management
(Cambridge, MA : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1987], 1987)
Many airlines practice differential pricing of fare products that share a common inventory of available seats on an aircraft. Seat inventory management is the process of limiting the number of seats made available to each ...
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 ...
An application of advanced statistical techniques to forecast the demand for air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1977], 1977)
Introduction and objectives: For some time now regression models, often calibrated using the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimation procedure, have become common tools for forecasting the demand for air transportation. ...
Presentations from the 1994 MIT/industry cooperative research program annual meeting
([Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1994], 1994)
Airline network seat inventory control : methodologies and revenue impacts
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics & Astronautics], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1992], 1992)
In the airline industry, it is customary for carriers to offer a wide range of fares for any given seat in the same cabin on the same flight. In order to control the number of seats made available in each fare class, ...
Presentations from the 1995 MIT/industry cooperative research program annual meeting.
([Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1995], 1995)
Presentations from the annual meeting of the MIT/Industry Cooperative research Program.
([Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology], Flight Transportation Laboratory, [1993], 1993)
The impact of high inflation rates on the demand for air passenger transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Flight Transportation Laboratory, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, [1975], 1975)
The impact of high inflation rates on the demand for domestic air passenger transportation is tested in a demand model using time-series data and linear and non-linear least squares regressions with Revenue Passenger Miles ...
Effect of fare and travel time on the demand for domestic air transportation
(Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Flight Transportation Laboratory ; [1979], 1979)
Introduction: One of the axioms in the air transportation industry is that advances in technology have led to a greater amount of passenger travel by air. Improvements in airframe and engine design have increased range, ...
