Purpose: The paper aims to show strengths, weaknesses and challenges in the application of Blockchain technology for aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO). The analysis is based on a prototype of a permissioned Blockchain for the maintenance documentation of aircraft and their...

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...

In this paper, we provide arrival time prediction combined with a cost index optimization model for short haul flights. Our work is based on flight data of a European network carrier. We focus on predicting the arrival time for incoming flights at two hub locations. Airlines focus on two aspects...

"This book explores aeronautical satellite communications modeling, taking into account various standards, types of communication channels, modulations, types of fading, different architecture of satellite communication channels, traffic types, and the number of aircraft and satellites"--

This article presents a staircase model for the catch-up process in the aircraft industry based on Reverse Product Life Cycle (RPLC). The model is composed of five consecutive phases: (1) maintenance and repair; (2) licensed production; (3) enhancing technological capabilities; (4) independent...

Значительная часть аварий и катастроф в мире связана с человеческим фактором, следовательно, наиболее очевидным представляется ужесточение ответственности...

The article is excerpted from a legal opinion is based on the Blue Sky English Case, under which the validity of a mortgage on an aircraft must be determined on the basis of the law in force in the country where the aircraft is located at the time of conclusion of the mortgage – and not on the...

This paper explores the policy options available to the United States for regulating greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft under existing law: the Clean Air Act (CAA). Europe has unilaterally and controversially moved to include aviation emissions in its Emissions Trading System. The United...

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage nach dem monetären Wert der technischen Zuverlässigkeit für eine Fluggesellschaft. Zu diesem Zweck wurde ein GRASP Algorithmus in Verbindung mit einer Monte-Carlo Simulation entwickelt, der Flugpläne unter Variation statistischer...
