Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without major changes, the current air transportation system will be unable to accommodate the expected increase in demand by 2025. One proposal to address this problem is to use the Global Positioning System to enable aircraft to fly more closely spaced. This approach, however, might be limited by the wake turbulence problem, which can be a safety hazard when smaller aircraft follow relatively larger aircraft too closely. To examine how this potential hazard might be reduced, Congress in 2005 directed NASA to request a study from the NRC to assess the federal wake turbulence R&D program. This book provides a description of the problem, an assessment of the organizational challenges to addressing wake turbulence, an analysis of the technical challenges in wake turbulence, and a proposal for a wake turbulence program plan. A series of recommendations for addressing the wake turbulence challenge are also given.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 599 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The combination of increasing airport congestion and the ad vent of large transports has caused increased interest in aircraft wake turbulence. A quantitative understanding of the interaction between an aircraft and the vortex wake of a preceding aircraft is necessary for planning future high density air traffic patterns and control systems. The nature of the interaction depends on both the characteristics of the following aircraft and the characteristics of the wake. Some of the questions to be answered are: What deter mines the full characteristics of the vortex wake? What properties of the following aircraft are important? What is the role of pilot response? How are the wake characteristics related to the genera ting aircraft parameters? How does the wake disintegrate and where? Many of these questions were addressed at this first Aircraft Wake Turbulence Symposium sponsored by the Air Force Office of Sci entific Research and The Boeing Company. Workers engaged in aero dynamic research, airport operations, and instrument development came from several count ries to present their results and exchange information. The new results from the meeting provide a current picture of the state of the knowledge on vortex wakes and their interactions with other aircraft. Phenomena previously regarded as mere curiosities have emerged as important tools for understanding or controlling vortex wakes. The new types of instability occurring within the wake may one day be used for promoting early dis integration of the hazardous twin vortex structure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation deals with the dynamic behavior of an airplane encountering aircraft wake turbulence. A digital computer simulation was developed to study the response of an aircraft flying into a trailing vortex wake. The simulation includes the complete six degree of freedom equations of motion, a description of the vortex velocity field, unsteady aerodynamics, and pilot control input. The parameters included the penetration angle, separation distance, aircraft size, and pilot control input. Predicted vortex induced motions are presented for general aviation, business, and light jet transport type aircraft.

Download or read book Ask the Pilot written by Patrick Smith and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though we routinely take to the air, for many of us flying remains a mystery. Few of us understand the how and why of jetting from New York to London in six hours. How does a plane stay in the air? Can turbulence bring it down? What is windshear? How good are the security checks? Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Salon.com's popular column, "Ask the Pilot," unravels the secrets and tells you all there is to know about the strange and fascinating world of commercial flight. He offers: A nuts and bolts explanation of how planes fly Insights into safety and security Straight talk about turbulence, air traffic control, windshear, and crashes The history, color, and controversy of the world's airlines The awe and oddity of being a pilot The poetry and drama of airplanes, airports, and traveling abroad In a series of frank, often funny explanations and essays, Smith speaks eloquently to our fears and curiosities, incorporating anecdotes, memoir, and a life's passion for flight. He tackles our toughest concerns, debunks conspiracy theories and myths, and in a rarely heard voice dares to return a dash of romance and glamour to air travel.
Download or read book Aircraft Wake Vortices Characterization and Alleviation written by Omer Ali El-Sayed and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serious impact of the trailing vortices from large aircraft is well known. Many examples exist of the damage caused to following aircraft caught up in the swirling wake shed from an upstream aircraft. Motivation behind the present investigation is the alleviation of the rolling moment induced on the following aircraft by means of a differential spoiler setting DSS's. An experimental investigation on a wing tip vortex generated by generic aircraft model, Subsonic Wall Interference Model (SWIM) in plain and flapped wing configurations was conducted in a low speed wind tunnel at Korean Aerospace Research Institute (KARI). Particle image velocimetry was used to characterize wing tip vortex structures as well as to distinguish and quantify vortex meandering and further remove its effects. In subsequent experiments investigation on wake vortices has been carried out in the international Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) low speed wind tunnel for the evaluation of differential spoiler settings (DSS) capabilities in modifying the span-wise wing load and further reduces the wake vortex hazard. Advanced PIV technique was used to measure the wake velocities at four cross-section planes down-stream of the aircraft half model in the near and extended near wake field. Model was investigated at high lift configuration as well as at four DSS configurations believed to modify the span-wise wing loading (two inboard and two outboard loading cases). Results reveal a noticeable inboard shift of wing loading along with the direct interaction of the spoiler's wake and flap tip vortex for the inboard loading cases. Implementation of DSS results in a substantial redistribution of the flap tip vortex circulation with a diameter of the merged vortex increased by a factor of up to 2.72 times, relative to the undisturbed flap tip vortex. Inspection of the cross-stream distribution of axial vorticity shows up to 2.33 times reduction in the peak vorticity value. A 44% decrease of the maximum cross-flow velocity was recorded for the case of deployed spoilers relative to undisturbed flap tip vortex maximum cross-flow velocity. The wing tip vortex experiences the effect of wing load modification but doesn't show appreciable difference, both in terms of cross-flow velocity and local circulation distribution. Evaluations of the outboard loading results indicate a limited diffusion experienced by the vortex due to the increased level of turbulence. Influence of DSS's on the wake vortex structure emphasizes that separation distance (spoiler wake/wing-flap tips vortices) plays an important role in the favorable interaction expected. Finally assessment of the DSS's capabilities as a wake vortex attenuation device reveals, while position of the maximum induced rolling moments in the flap tip area is little influenced by the DSS's, the maximum induced rolling moment coefficient was reduced to a nearly one third relative to the undisturbed flap tip vortex value.
