Aircraft performance

The advent of advanced fiber-reinforced composite materials has been called the biggest technical revolution since the jet engine [1-4], This claim is very striking because the tremendous impact of the jet engine on military aircraft performance is readily apparent. The impact on commercial aviation is even more striking because the airlines stwitched from propeller-driven planes to all-jet fleets within the span of just a few years because of superior performance and lower maintenance costs. 

As mentioned above, the approach of PAUR was complemented by aircraft measurements of J(0 D) and spectral radiation as part of a joint PAUR-ATOP venture. The aircraft performed 4 flights (on the 10, 11 and 13.6.1998) where J(0 D) and UV... 

Many agricultural and public health operations are carried out around the world using aircraft. From controlling mosquitoes in Florida to eradicating mice in Australia, specialised aircraft perform tens of thousands of operations every year. In the United States, some 4100 aircraft are registered for aerial application. It is estimated that approximately 25% of the 125 million hectares harvested in the USA in 1998 were treated with crop protection products using aircraft. In Australia, some 300 aircraft are used to apply about 20% of the local crop protection chemical market to an average of about 10 million hectares annually.

In this scenario the time parameters of the rule that generates the action to take off have been modified in such a way that this action is performed more quickly. This has important consequences for the opportunity of the Tower to interfere and prevent the collision. As can be seen in Fig. 5, the short duration of the take-off procedure leads to severe consequences as both aircraft perform take-off almost simultaneously on crossing runways. 

L6 Aircraft, performance limitations constrain the magnitude of the escape maneuver that the flight crew can safely execute in response to a resolution advisory. It is possible for these limitations to preclude a successful resolution of the conflict ( H3. i2.38. 2.39).

Furthermore, for the alternative runway in Melbourne, Runway 27, figures from the aircraft performance manual indicate that the landing distance required is very close to the landing distance available. 

The reduction in aircraft performance, reduces the efficiency of the operation which results in additional flights, and hence an indirect increase in the operational costs. 

Both towards the end of and immediately following the Second World War, wooden structures in military, passenger and freighter aircraft were slowly replaced by metals more recently composites have begun to replace the metallic structures. This meant that individual components and structures were required to carry higher loads, due to more demanding aircraft performances, and this, in its turn, demanded significantly improved adhesive systems. 

RPA may have the same phases of flight - taxi, departure, en-route and arrival - as manned aircraft or they may be launched/recovered and/or conduct aerial work. The aircraft performance characteristics may be significantly different from traditional manned aircraft. Regardless, the remote pilot will operate the aircraft in accordance with the rules of the air for the State and airspace in which the RPA is operating. This will include compl)dng with directions and instructions provided by the air traffic services (ATS) unit.
