We consider the problem of minimizing the number of airplanes needed to fly a fixed daily repeating schedule of flights. We use deficit functions (DF) to decompose an aviation schedule of aircraft flights into aircraft chains (routes) called a chain decomposition. Each chain visits periodically...

Not only with respect to the common overlaps within the market of urban air mobility, but also in terms of their requirement profile with regard to the systemic core, all mobility industries are converging. This article focuses on the required patterns of learning in order to cope with these...
