The autoignition characteristics of conventional jet fuels (category A) and alternative fuels with targeted properties (category C) are investigated using a rapid compression machine and the direct test chamber charge preparation approach. The category C fuels were purposefully built to anticipate special property variations that generally occur in

Aviation professionals have long understood that having safe and effective standard operating procedures for flightcrews is vitally important for conducting safe and efficient operations. Failing to follow flightcrew procedures or having inadequate procedures is consistently cited as a major cause of airline accidents and incidents, and has been ci

This report covers the period October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. The Center was established by the authority of FAA solicitation 13-C-AJFE-Solicitation. During that time the ASCENT team launched a new website, which can be viewed at https://ascent.aero/. The next meeting will be held September 26 - 27, 2017 at the Embassy Suites in Alexand

This report describes the development of a new engine weight surrogate model and High Pressure Compressor (HPC) polytropic efficiency correction for the propulsion module in the Transport Aircraft OPTtimization (TASOPT) code. The goal of this work is to improve the accuracy and applicability of TASOPT in conceptual design of advanced technology, hi

Undisturbed and sufficiently long sleep is a prerequisite for a healthy life as well as for the prevention of fatigue-induced accidents. Especially the increasing air and freight rail traffic is more and more shifted to shoulder and night-time hours due to missing capacity and infrastructure during daytime. Thus, the sleep of residents near airport

Manufacturers of business jets have expressed interest in designing and building a new generation of supersonic jets that produce shaped sonic booms of lower peak amplitude than booms created by the previous generation of supersonic aircraft. To determine if these “low” booms are less intrusive and the noise exposure is more acceptable to communiti

The FAA Aerospace Forecasts are developed to support budget and planning needs of the FAA. The forecasts are developed using statistical models to explain and incorporate emerging trends of the different segments of the aviation industry.
This report covers the period between the initial establishment of the FAA Center of Excellence for Alternative Jet Fuels and Environment on September 13, 2013 through September 30, 2015. The Center was established by the authority of FAA solicitation 13-C-AJFE-Solicitation. During that time the ASCENT team launched a new website, which can be view

This paper examines the potential fuel efficiency benefits of cruise altitude and speed optimization using historical fight path records. Results are presented for a subset of domestic US flights in 2012 as well as for long haul flights tracked by the European IAGOS atmospheric research program between 2010 and 2013. For a given lateral flight rout

Atmospheric chemistry-climate models are often used to calculate the effect of aviation NOx emissions on atmospheric ozone (O3) and methane (CH4). Due to the long (∼10 yr) atmospheric lifetime of methane, model simulations must be run for long time periods, typically for more than 40 simulation years, to reach steady-state if using CH4 emission flu

In this study alerts and cues presented on five aircraft types (Airbus 320, Boeing 737NG, Boeing 777, Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) 700, and Embraer 190) for 23 initiating conditions leading to one of 10 non‐normal events were identified and analyzed. These events and conditions exist in current day operations and are expected to have continued relev

MITRE conducted this human-in-the-loop research project on Interval Management (IM) Controller Pilot Data Link Communications (CPDLC) to investigate the integration of two advanced Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) capabilities across both the air and ground domains to uncover any complications that could arise from two key capabi

Fine particulate matter (PM2:5) is a federally-regulated air pollutant with well-known impacts on human health. The FAA's Destination 2025 program seeks to decrease aviation-related health impacts across the U.S. by 50% by the year 2018. Atmospheric models, such as the Community Multiscale Air Quality model (CMAQ), are used to estimate the atmosphe

This study addressed the use of data-driven charts (DDC), which are electronic information charts that are drawn from an onboard chart database onto the forward displays. The DDC management system is intended to display only the electronic chart data that is relevant to the mission on the moving map or navigation display. It could have an important

One of the primary impacts of aircraft noise on a community is its disruption of sleep. There are models that have been developed to predict the effect of aircraft noise on sleep. However, most of these models only predict the percentage of the population that is awakened. Markov and nonlinear dynamic models have been developed to predict an individ
