Multi-UAS path-planning for a large-scale disjoint disaster management
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
A UAS-based disaster management method has been adopted to monitor the disaster impact and protect human lives since it can be rapidly deployed, execute an aerial imaging mission, and provide a cost-efficient operation. ...
Development of A Certification Module for Early Aircraft Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
The airworthiness certification process of civil transportation aircraft is expensive, timeconsuming, and subject to uncertainty. To reduce the cost and time spent on the certification process, this paper proposes an ...
A Model-Based System Engineering Approach to Normal Category Airplane Airworthiness Certification
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
Airworthiness certification is to ensure the safety of aircraft. With the surge in novel general aviation aircraft configurations and technologies, the Federal Aviation Administration replaced prescriptive design requirements ...
Evaluating Optimal Paths for Aircraft Subsystem Electrification in Early Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
The aerospace industry’s push for More-Electric Aircraft (MEA) has motivated numerous studies to quantify and optimize the impact of subsystem electrification in early design phases. Past studies on multi-objective ...
A Model-Based Aircraft Certification Framework for Normal Category Airplanes
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
A typical aircraft certification process consists of obtaining a type, production, airworthiness, and continued airworthiness certificate. During this process, a type certification plan is created that includes the intended ...
Aircraft Flight Plan Optimization with Dynamic Weather and Airspace Constraints
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020)
Flight planning is the process of producing a flight plan which describes a proposed aircraft trajectory. This task is typically performed ahead of departure with the intent of minimizing operating costs, while accounting ...
A Data-Driven Approach using Machine Learning to Enable Real-Time Flight Path Planning
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
As aviation traffic continues to grow, most airlines are concerned about flight delays, which increase operating costs for the airlines. Since most delays are caused by weather, pilots and flight dispatchers typically ...
A Bayesian Safety Assessment Methodology for Novel Aircraft Architectures and Technologies using Continuous FHA
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-06)
Novel architectures and technologies carry with them an uncertainty related to their reliability and associated safety risk. Existing safety assessment methods involve determining the severity of discrete functional failure ...
Three-dimensional UAS trajectory optimization for remote sensing in an irregular terrain environment
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-06)
This paper presents a novel algorithm for three-dimensional UAS trajectory optimization for a remote sensing mission in an irregular terrain environment. The algorithm consists of three steps: terrain modeling, the selection ...
Coverage path planning for a UAS imagery mission using column generation with a turn penalty
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-06)
This paper introduces a novel Coverage Path Planning (CCP) algorithm for a Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) imagery mission. The proposed CPP algorithm is a vehicle-routing-based approach using a column generation method. In ...
