Airline Command and Control: An Ethnographic Study
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007)The role of airline operations control centers in the national air transportation system is increasing. Yet, the role of airline operations personnel has not been well studied. This paper presents the findings of a series ... -
Airline Operations Managers: an Introduction to the Third Leg of the National Air Transportation System
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005-06) -
Analytic Free-Molecular Aerodynamics for Rapid Propagation of Resident Space Objects
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2018-01)Aerodynamic forces and moments are significant perturbations on low-Earth-orbiting objects, second in magnitude to the nonspherical gravity field. Traditionally, the aerodynamic perturbations are calculated using a direct ... -
Analyzing Air Traffic Management Systems Using Agent-based Modeling and Simulation
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005-06)This paper presents the viewpoint that an air traffic management system is emergent, i.e., exhibiting behaviors at the system-wide level that emerge from the combined actions of individuals within the system. Emergence ... -
CFD Study of an Over-Wing Nacelle Configuration
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-10-05)Engine bypass ratio (BPR) has grown significantly over the years, due to a desire for increased efficiency, and the large fan diameters that have resulted are forcing the engines so close to the wing that there is no room ... -
Collaborative Search and Pursuit for Autonomous Helicopters
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-05)This paper describes recent results to develop, improve, and flight test a multi-aircraft collaborative architecture, focused on decentralized autonomous decision-making. The architecture includes a search coverage algorithm, ... -
A Comparison of Automatic Nap-of-the-Earth Guidance Strategies for Helicopters
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-05)This paper describes updated results from a partnership between the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and the Georgia Institute of Technology to develop, improve, and flight test a sensor, guidance, navigation, control, and ... -
Decision Making During an Airline Rescheduling Task: A Contextual Control Model Description
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2005)This paper examines decision makers' selection of contextual control modes as described by Hollnagel's Contextual Control Model, and evaluates real-time, unobtrusive measures of a decision maker's immediate mode. In a ... -
Design of a Cognitive Work Support System for Airline Operations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2007-06) -
Design of Multi-mode Support Systems for Airline Operations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-09)This paper discusses designing support systems for cognitive work environments, focusing specifically on airline operations. Previous studies found that cognitive work, which includes activities such as judgment and decision ... -
Design of Support Systems for Airline Operations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-05) -
Design of Support Systems for Cognitive Work in Airline Operations
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-09)This paper examines design of support systems for airline operations. Previous studies found that cognitive work which includes activities such as judgment and decision making varies with context such that a single method ... -
Design of Support Systems for Dynamic Decision Making in Airline Operations
(Georgia Institute of TechnologyInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006-04)To date, there has been very little research conducted on the design of support systems for dynamic decisions environments, such as airline operations. The paper discusses the idea that the regulation of dynamic systems ... -
Development and Evaluation of an Automated Path Planning Aid
(Georgia Institute of Technology.American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2012-11)Handling en route emergencies in modern transport aircraft through adequate teamwork between the pilot, the crew and the aircraft’s automation systems is an ongoing and active field of research. An automated path planning ... -
Development and Testing of a 3-D-Printed Cold Gas Thruster for an Interplanetary CubeSat
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-03)This paper describes the development and testing of a cold gas attitude control thruster produced for the BioSentinel spacecraft, a CubeSat that will operate beyond Earth orbit. The thruster will reduce the spacecraft ... -
