Electromagnetic launch systems for civil aircraft assisted take-off... Assisted launch has the potential of reducing the required runway length, reducing noise near airports and improving overall aircraft efficiency through reducing engine thrust requirements...
Air traffic management technology demostration-1 (atd-1) avionics phase 2 flight test and results... IM is one of the three elements integrated into NASAs ATD-1 concept of operations with the subproject goal of improving aircraft efficiency and airport throughput during high-density arrival operations...
Results from an interval management (im) flight test and its potential benefit to air traffic management operations... The prototype was built based on IM standards, integrated into two test aircraft, and then flown in real-world conditions to determine if the goals of improving aircraft efficiency and airport throughput during high-density arrival operations could be met...
Multipoint optimization on fuel efficiency in conceptual design of wide-body aircraft... To further improve aircraft efficiency under actual flight operations, there is a need to consider multiple flight conditions (multipoint) in aircraft conceptual design and optimization...
