  • The air resistance of racing cyclists 
    Nonweiler, T. (College of Aeronautics, Cranfield, 1956-10)
    Tests in the closed-section wind-tunnel on three different cyclists mounted on a racing bicycle are described, and figures quoted for the recorded air resistance. Some comments are also included on the implications of the ...
  • Air traffic control automation: for humans or people? 
    Brooker, Peter (Ashgate Publishing, 2005)
    Are air traffic controllers humans or people? At first sight, this seems a very odd question, given that ‘humans’ and ‘people’ are near-synonyms in the dictionary and everyday usage. However, in research on air traffic ...
  • Air traffic control radiotelephony safety: Investigating the English second language users’ perspective 
    Mohd, Noorlinah G. (Cranfield University, 2007-10)
    Radiotelephony between air traffic controllers and pilots utilises standard phraseology as the medium of communications. Standard phraseology employs specific structure, terminology and pronunciation to ensure effectiveness ...
  • Air traffic control safety indicators: what is achievable? 
    Brooker, Peter (European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation, 2006-10)
    European Air Traffic Control is extremely safe. The drawback to this safety record is that it is very difficult to estimate what the ‘underlying’ accident rate for mid-air collisions is now, or to detect any changes over ...
  • Air traffic management accident risk, part 1: the limits of realistic modelling 
    Brooker, Peter (Cranfield University, 2005-06-27)
    The prime goal of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system is to control accident risk. Some key questions are posed, including: What do design safety targets really mean and imply for risk modelling? In what circumstances ...
  • Air traffic management accident risk, part 2: repairing the deficiencies of ESARR4 
    Brooker, Peter (Cranfield University, 2005-06-27)
    This is a critique of ESARR4 and its main supporting documents. ESARR4 is the Eurocontrol Safety Regulatory Requirement Number 4 (Eurocontrol SRC, 2001): ‘Risk Assessment and Mitigation in ATM’, ATM standing for Air ...
  • Air traffic management innovation and UK business opportunity 
    Brooker, Peter (2008-01-16)
    ATM (Air Traffic Management) and the associated UK business opportunities are huge topics, so the presentation sketches key issues. It includes lessons from the past, some ideas about the future, and case studies. The ...
  • Air traffic management innovation: the risks of STASIS 
    Brooker, Peter (UK international Press Media & Events, 2007)
    Stasis is a word used by the ancient Greeks to mean many different things: civil war, arguments between factions, ‘a stoppage’. Today it generally means a cessation of progress or change. ATM in Europe is in danger of ...
  • Air traffic management safety challenges 
    Brooker, Peter (2007-10)
    The primary goal of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system is to control accident risk. ATM safety has improved over the decades for many reasons, from better equipment to additional safety defences. But ATM safety ...
  • Air Traffic Safety: continued evolution or a new Paradigm. 
    Brooker, Peter (Royal Aeronautical Society, 2007-10-01)
    The context here is Transport Risk Management. Is the philosophy of Air Traffic Safety different from other modes of transport? – yes, in many ways, it is. The focus is on Air Traffic Management (ATM), covering (eg) air ...
  • Air transport in Africa: toward sustainable business models for African airlines 
    Heinz, Stephan; O'Connell, John F. (Elsevier, 2013-06-17)
    Although there is a vast amount of literature on airline business models and their evolution in changing global landscapes, there is a general lack of research into the applicability of those models, traditionally defined ...
  • Airblast atomization : the effect of linear scale on the mean drop size 
    El-Shanawany, M. S. M. R. (1978-12)
    Stationary prefilming-cup airblast atomizers, in which the fuel is first spread into a thin cylindrical sheet and then exposed on both sides to high velocity air, have several important advantages over other common methods ...
  • Airborne behaviour monitoring using Gaussian processes with map information 
    Oh, Hyondong; Shin, Hyo-Sang; Kim, Seungkeun; Tsourdos, Antonios; White, Brian A. (Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2013-07-31)
