...Vehicle Design Vehicle body panels must be rigid with an appropriate stiffness not to be prone to changing shape due to wind. Windows must not be made of any material which may shatter into sharp shards. Recommended material: Polycarbonate (e.g. Lexan) Any cover of the energy compartment (engine/motor/transmission/battery, etc.) should be easy to open for quick inspection access. All parts of the drive train, including fuel tank, hydrogen system components, etc. must be within the confines of the body cover. All vehicles must have a solid floor and frame that prevents any part of the driver’s body from contacting the ground. All vehicles (including Prototypes) must be fully covered. Open top vehicles are not allowed. Vehicles that look like bicycles, tricycles or wheelchairs are not acceptable. Chassis/Monocoque Solidity Vehicle chassis or monocoque is designed wide and long enough to effectively protect the driver’s body in the case of collisions or rollovers. The vehicle chassis must be equipped with an effective roll bar that extends 5 cm around the driver’s helmet when seated in normal driving position with the safety belts fastened. This roll bar must extend in width beyond the driver’s shoulders when seated in normal driving position with the safety belts fastened. Any roll bar must be capable of withstanding a static load of 700 N (~ 70 kg) applied in a vertical, horizontal or perpendicular direction, without deforming (i.e. in any direction)...

Chaffin Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Accident Case Number: ERAU-330RL Aircraft Type: 1980 PA-31-310 Tail Number: N517RL Aircraft hours: 15,000 + Crew: 1 pilot Passengers: 4 Fatalities: 5 History of flight On November 7 2010, Zonk Air Charters flight 330 L was set to depart Lake Tahoe Airport (KTVL), on a sunset photographic flight. The aircraft was supposed to fly within 20 miles of the airport with a return to the same airport, or with the option to continue to Burbank California. At dusk, the pilot and passengers load the aircraft and departed the airport. The flight departed under visual flight rules and visual meteorological conditions. The weather was reported at 2 miles in lowering clouds and 900 feet overcast and deteriorating. After takeoff, the aircraft rotated and entered the lowering mist. Approximately 5 miles past the end of the runway, the aircraft was seen exiting the clouds in a steep left rolling bank, trailing smoke. On scene actions Upon arrival at the accident scene, a preliminary visual inspection was done. Following the preliminary inspection, specific areas of responsibility were delegated to the rest of the investigating party. On Scene Observations The aircraft first struck the top of a 100 foot communication tower. After the initial impact with the tower, the aircraft began a roll to the left and impacted the ground 400 feet from the base of the tower. This was determined...

...AIAA-2005-0001 The Impact of Information Technologies on Air Transportation R. John Hansman* Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge MA 02139, USA The Air Transportation System and several key subsystems including the Aircraft, Airline, and Air Traffic Management are modeled as interacting control loops. The impact of Information Technologies on each of these subsystems is evaluated through the performance of these control loops. Information technologies are seen to have a significant impact on the safety, efficiency, capability, capacity, environmental impact and financial performance of the Air Transportation System and its components. T Introduction he US and International Air Transportation Systems have demonstrated remarkable growth and increased performance over the past few decades. Fig.1 demonstrates the growth in passenger and cargo traffic in international regions since 1972. Strong growth can be seen in North America and Europe which continue to dominate the passenger traffic. In addition, extraordinary growth can be seen in Asia/Pacific which has dominated the cargo traffic since the early 1990’s.

... Operations – please do not distribute this document outside easyJet) Airline pilots were once the heroes of the skies. Today, in the quest for safety, airplanes are meant to largely fly themselves. Which is why the 2009 crash of Air France Flight 447, which killed 228 people, remains so perplexing and significant. William Langewiesche explores how a series of small errors turned a state-‐of-‐ the-‐art cockpit into a death trap. TROUBLE AHEAD Inside the automated cockpit of an Airbus A330—like the one belonging to Air France that crashed into the equatorial Atlantic in 2009. 1 I. Into the Night On the last day of May in 2009, as night enveloped the airport in Rio de Janeiro, the 216 passengers waiting to board a flight to Paris could not have suspected that they would never ...

...Kevin Huong Prof. Erickson MKTG 10300 May 4, 2012 Porsche Analysis Paper Porsche is success in the automobile sector and its involvement in VW. Porsche is by far the largest sports car maker in the world. In recent years it enjoyed the highest profit margin in the industry, thus enabled it to acquire the giant Volkswagen group. However, the global financial collapse ruined its takeover plan, eventually resulted in counter takeover by Volkswagen. Porsche Automobil Holding SE was founded on June 26, 2007 at the extraordinary general meeting of Porsche AG, with a unanimous vote of the shareholders. At the time, the objective was to spin off the operative automobil business as a wholly owned subsidiary and to create the holding company as a business unit responsible for managing equity investments. Share holders of the Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG voted unanimously in favor of the operating activities of Porsche AG becoming the responsibility of a hundred percent subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of the Transformation Act, of adopting a controlling and profit transfer agreement between the holding company and the operating subsidiary, and also of transforming the holding company into a European Company, a so-called Societas Europaea (SE). The name “Porsche Automobil Holding” was also unanimously approved. The company’s headquarters is located in Stuttgart.

...invented the first airplane in 1903. The first modern airliner, Boeing 247, was launched in 1933. It traveled at 155 miles per hour and had a capacity of ten passengers. Boeing 747 was launched by Pan Am in 1969. This highly sophisticated aircraft had four engines and a seating capacity of 450. The airline industry initially fell under the category of a public utility service, with government agencies establishing the air routes and prices. However, with the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, the industry became market driven. Demand and Supply Drivers of the Airline Industry The demand drivers of the airline industry include: o Ticket prices o Passenger income levels o Access to and suitability of other modes of transportation o Frequency of services • Safety • Random factors such as terror threat The supply drivers of the aviation industry are: • Behavior of competition • Government regulation • Cost of resources (fuel, labor, maintenance, technology) Study of the Indian Aviation Industry 1.

His heart rate may exceed 180 beats per minute and his blood pressure could rise by half. With soaring temperatures inside the cramped cockpit he will also dehydrate, typically losing 2–3 litres of water during the race. Yet the driver must concentrate well enough to achieve lap times that might vary by just a tenth of a second. This is tough, on both mind and body. Hence it is not just the performance of the car itself which an array of sensors keeps an eye on, wirelessly transmitting data about the engine, suspension and so on to the pit crews. The drivers’ own vital signs are constantly monitored, too.” —Economist, Nov. 3, 2011 Wearable computing, or wearables, has recently moved from the realm of science fiction and military technology to being on the cusp of commonplace consumer technology. ABI Research estimates the global market for wearables in health and fitness could reach 170 million devices by 2017.
