...Reduction of Aircraft Emissions Carlos Hernandez Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University ASCI 202 Intro into Aeronautical Science August 31,2013 Abstract Carbon emissions produced by aircraft is increasing as people tend to fly more. Aircraft technologies are trying to keep up as newer aircraft are built. As, these carbon emission built up high in the atmosphere they have an effect on the air. NASA and other foreign agencies are working together to eliminate the worlds carbon emission footprint. By building newer engines that are more efficient or developing alternate gases will help with reducing these gases. NASA studies should include research on the environmental effects that aviation has on the public health due to aircraft emissions. Also to eliminate any potential environmental effect these gases have. Aviation is very important to every country and the U.S. has struggled with many issues because of the lack of leadership. As our leadership gets involved the U.S. carbon footprint will be reduce as new technology is invented. Reduction of Aircraft Emissions Over the past five decades, advances in aircraft technology within the aviation field have been rapid, while shaping the way the aviation conducts business. Along with this new technology comes an increasingly higher demand for air travel across the world. As demand for air travel increases, it has become a common way of everyday life. It does not come without cost that is involved with daily operations. Aircraft crossing...

...Essay Theme: Airplanes Airplanes, the fastest vehicle to connect countries! They were designed due to the necessity of people to travel abroad and fast. The first successful airplane was made by the Wright Brothers! On December 17, 1903 Wright Brothers made four brief flights at Kitty Hawk with their first powered aircraft. Since airplanes have evolved, the Airbus A380 is the world's largest passenger airliner; many airports have upgraded their facilities to accommodate it because of its size. Initially named Airbus A3XX, Airbus designed the aircraft to challenge Boeing's monopoly in the large-aircraft market; the A380 made its first flight on 27 April 2005 and began commercial service in October 2007 with Singapore Airlines. The A380's upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage, with a width equivalent to a wide-body aircraft. This gives the A380-800's cabin 478 square meters of floor space, which is 40% more than the next-largest airliner, the Boeing and provides seating for 525 people in a typical three class configuration or up to 853 people in all economy class configurations. The A380-800 has a design range of 15,700 kilometers (8,500 mi; 9,800 mi), sufficient to fly from New York to Hong Kong, and a cruising speed of Mach 0.85 (about 900 km/h or 560 mph; 490 km at cruising altitude). The A380 was used to...

...how the challenges can be solved using the principles that were mastered during the study of Strategic Management. To find the strengths of Michelin, one will be looking at what the company is good at and also what they are doing well at. According to the case study ,the weaknesses are what Michelin is poor at and those things they need to improve on for Michelin to be successful and to grow as a company. So therefore their weakness are their major management challenges. By being able to look at the strengths and weaknesses of Michelin both internally and externally one can start to plan for Michelin in the future and to be able to look at what Michelin is going not so well and find steps to sort these problems out, which is what this essay will address. Some of Michelin's internal strength is that at the present they have three lines of production to follow. They produce the Michelin guide, and road maps, although their main line of production is their tyres .So the fact that Michelin is in more than one line of production gives them the competitive edge over their competitors. Michelin is committed to safety and is committed to keeping up with research and development in all their production and products ,because unlike other companies they do have a large research facility and road circuits which they use to test their tyres. The weaknesses faced by Michelin which however is their management challenges include among others, the discrepancies in cultures for instance...

...STRAYER UNIVERSITY | Business diversifications of Boeing and Ford Motors | Victor Adejayan | | PROFESSOR WALTER WILLIAM DINGMAN | BUS 508 | A qualitative analysis of the diversification efforts of Boeing and Ford Motors. | Diversification:- Diversification is the process of entering new business markets with new products. Such efforts may be undertaken either through acquisitions or through extension of the company's existing capabilities and resources. The diversification process is an essential component in the long range growth and success of most thriving companies, for it reflects the fundamental reality of changing consumer tastes and evolving business opportunity. But the act of diversifying requires significant outlays of time and resources, making it a process that can make or break a company. Small business owners, then, should carefully study diversification options—and their own fundamental strengths—before proceeding (Gale Encyclopedia of Small Business). Barron’s Marketing Dictionary defines Diversification as; Corporate growth strategy whereby a business builds its total sales by acquiring or establishing other businesses that are not directly related to the company's present product or market (Barron's Business Dictionary). Barron also identified the three major diversification strategies as the following; Concentric diversification, where the new business produces products that are technically similar to the company's current...

...Drafting an Essay Among all the different technologies in use today, I believe unmanned vehicles have the most promise and beneficiary outcome. Unmanned vehicles are defined as aerial or ground vehicle able to sustain a flight path or guided ground path without the need of onboard crew, human pilot, or driver. Since the first recorded use of an unmanned vehicle for war fighting in 1849 by the Austrians, the technology has proven to be useful in many area such as; wildlife monitoring, agriculture mapping, thermal infrared power line surveys, law enforcement, telecommunications, weather monitoring, aerial imaging/mapping, television news coverage, sporting events, moviemaking, Environmental monitoring, oil and gas exploration, and freight transport. Today we have updated the designs and improved the technology so much and will continue to do so. With the growing use of unmanned vehicles it is predicted it could result in more than 34,000 manufacturing jobs and more than 70,000 new jobs in 3 years. “As new jobs are created, additional money is spent at the local level, creating additional demand for local services, which in turn, creates even more jobs (i.e., grocery clerks, barbers, school teachers, home builders, etc.). These indirect and induced jobs are forecast and included in the total jobs created.” Though the economic benefits will not be distributed evenly. The predicted revenues from the top 10 states in terms of job creation and additional revenue as production of...

...The Fear in Aviation Maintenance Aircraft maintenance is arguably one of the best managed maintenance practices across different industries. Aircraft maintenance operations in the US are usually closely monitored by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) which ensures that the maintenance practices are done in a proper manner. Despite this oversight, maintenance errors still occur and have been, on many occasions, stated as the main cause of aircraft accidents. Knowledge of the factors that contribute to maintenance errors and therefore aircraft accidents can go a long way in enabling the industry regulars to draft precautionary measures and safety protocols to reduce the occurrence of these accidents. I. Factors contributing to maintenance errors Human factors, management factors, and structure factors are the most common factors that contribute to errors during the maintenance of aircraft (Stolzer, Halford & Goglia, 2012). Of the three factors, human factors account for the majority maintenance errors and therefore majority of aircraft accidents. There are numerous factors that can directly or indirectly contribute to human factors in maintenance errors can be categorized into the three groups of individual factors, job factors and organizational factors. Individual factors are those capabilities and attributes of an individual that may cause the individual to commit an error. These factors include their habits, personal attitudes, skills, personalities and their competence...

...Air Asia to be competitive as a low cost or budgeted fare airline, Air Asia should continue to grow its services by simulating new markets in a sustainable manner. They also need to build stronger brand image as it’s continue to loose. Maintenance Since, Air Asia do not have its own facility to maintain its aircraft has to take it other facility. It has being long to do maintenance work for its aircrafts every now and then which cause delay in flight too. So it’s important for them to have a facility which can directly control its practices to avoid any further delay. 3.2 Analysis of the Internal Environment Problem faced by Air Asia Airline. Loss of flight Airbus A320 jet had gone missing on December 28 while it was traveling from Surbabaya in Indonesia to Singapore which has created loss of 162 passengers (West, 2015).

Take flying for instances. Many of us, myself included step on or use an airplane to travel for leisure, to conduct day-to-day business, use for supply chain movement and never even think twice about what goes into making an aircraft. One of what is considered an elite aircraft manufacturing company; Boeing knows all too well what it takes to deliver a premier aircraft to service. Boeing did not arrive at this point easy as they found out when trying to launch their Boeing 787 aircraft. This essay will give a brief company profile of the Boeing Company and in addition the major problem the company experienced when launching its Boeing 787 aircraft and recommended solutions. The problematic area that will be highlighted is Boeings supply chain management, which caused Boeing to rethink its 787 strategy. The History of Boeing The history of Boeing began essentially with the vision of five men. William Edward Boeing, born in 1881 in Detroit, Mich., began building floatplanes near Seattle, Wash. Donald Wills Douglas, born in 1892 in New York, began building bombers and passenger transports in Santa Monica, Calif.

But they don’t really enjoy their trip very well. Jack said that they seems like live in a big trash yard. There are trash everywhere. Gloves, pieces of objets, and even human’s excrements. It’s not a pretty place what we image. We cost a lot time on fixing our aircraft, because when some little space debris hit it, we need to fix it. And also, we get lost all the time. We follow the way what the map shows to us. But some of them are blocked by debris, we have to change the direction. Jack and his family hope that scientists can clean up the space and give them a beautiful world. So what are these debris? Where are they from? How can we solve these? Why space debris? Because that the space is getting messy. Space trash is a big problem. The amount of debris orbiting keep growing ever single year. disrupting satellites and occasionally putting astronauts in harm’s way. if the problem gets severe enough, it should eventually make low-earth orbit unusable. Since 1970s, some scientists have been worrying about the space debris. How fast the space debris orbiting the Earth?...

...ESSAYS FOR THE FINAL EXAM 2014 1. What was the Manhattan project and how did it evolve? How was the decision made to drop the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how did the bombing end the war? (be specific and complete) Essay – The Manhattan project was central to the United States efforts in constructing a nuclear bomb during the Second World War. Motivated by the fear of an enemy attack from the Nazi’s, the United States was able to develop the world’s most devastating bombs, which would end up killing more than 200,000 Japanese citizens in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In this way, the Manhattan project essentially grew out of America’s efforts to defend themselves against a potential Nazi attack. Hungarian scientist Leo Szilard, after escaping to America, realized that if the Nazis acquired the works recently conducted on nuclear fission, they might be able to construct a nuclear bomb and dominate the world with its destruction. He then convinced Albert Einstein of the impending Nazi threat and Einstein took the initiative to alert the United States by writing a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In the letter sent in August 1939, right before the start of the war, Einstein advised that the United States be wary of the threat of nuclear weaponry in the hands of the enemy and that they should begin a weapons building program of their own. A very small committee was established to look into the science and development of a bomb, funded by a mere $6,000. President...

...The use of unmanned aircraft goes back 164 years, when Austria used pilotless balloons to drop bombs on Venice in 1849. However, for most people, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) came out of nowhere. What began as a popular imaginative concept for military use has come into being and has grown exponentially in numbers as well as sophistication.In many ways, UAVs are a bit like computers. First they were rare and now they are everywhere. While certain military journalists would say the use of UAVs has positively impacted many levels of military air support others would argue that UAVs have had a destructive effect. Evidence from sources will be compiled throughout this essay to explain the positive versus negative effects that the UAVs have and of the two effects have a larger reward for military purpose. According to American Scientist Larry Greenmeier , “ The September 11, 2001 attacks initiated an outbreak of advances in military technology over the past decade that has helped the U.S. and its allies redefine modern warfare”. UAVs have had a greater impact on America's missions in the Middle East than conventional aircraft. The following several ideas are what military specialist Dadney. B , Asymmetric Operations Fellow Robert Froust , congressional research associate Elizabeth Bone and congressional specialist in National Defense Christopher Bolkcom believe have lead to the military’s unprecedented levels of usage of UAVs instead of conventional aircraft throughout the last...
