Some people to feel alive they just need family, friends, and a place to call home. Well others need something a little stronger. As kids, we grew up either hearing, reading, or seeing people risk their lives just because they could. Either it was rock climbing, skydiving, or bungee jumping. You couldn't escape the stories. As humans we have that need for adrenaline, for some they can get enough adrenaline from a roller coaster or a tilt-a-whirl but for others they don't get anything from the…

If one was to look into the sky today, there would more than likely b an aircraft of some sort flying above. While many of us take no consideration as to the immense amount of technology put into each and every aircraft, just to fly, there are individuals, still working every day to create new technology that makes what used to seem like just a farfetched dream, a reality. Even over one hundred years after the first powered flight in 1903, new frontiers of flight, are yet to be discovered. The…

Abrupt three-hour shutdown of the main controlling system led Los Angeles Air Controllers lost radio communication with more than 800 hundred airplanes flying in range. On top of that, the backup system did not respond properly, which resulted in lacking communication with other FAA centers or the high altitude flights displayed on their radar screens. As a result, hundreds of flights were held on the ground at Los Angeles International Airport and other nearby airports, causing severe flight…

This Engineering Authorization (EA) is issued to incorporate______. Currently, the Boeing 777’s rubstrips, located where the fairing meets the strut, do not have any wear limits. These rubstrips have been found to be very worn when they have been inspected, in some instances up to almost 80%. This EA is being created to establish a set of guidelines for when it is necessary replace these rubstrips. By creating this EA, it will allow us to also start creating wear limits on these rubstrips. This…

Introduction My current employer, is in the aviation industry for whom telecommunication plays an extremely critical role. For the past 10 years, they had outdated technology managed by minimal staff. This affected communication but increased costs in keeping the present technology alive. Also, since the airport is constantly seeing changes and expanding, it gets difficult to manage with the communication resources we currently have and makes it impossible to add more users to the existing…

twice about the problem. “You always hope everything goes well.” said by an airline pilot, whose plane was hit by geese shortly after takeoff. An easy but pricey solution is put sensors on the back, nose, wings, and top regions of the airplane, in order to avoid objects like birds. It is similar technology that is already built-into warplanes to avoid surface-to-air missiles. On the task of weather, this is the airlines problem, they appear to care more about the money than the passengers. It…

The performance and reliability of [its] automated systems and data centers is critical to [its] ability to operate [its] business and compete effectively”.

This paper examines how the pricing strategy of BWI airport and how the market share values between air carriers impact BWI’s pricing of airline tickets. In analyzing the airfare, distance, average passenger, and market share over four years, the airport can determine which airline has the largest and smallest percent stake in the market. By finding out the market share’s impact, the airport can then adjust its flights and pricings to entice and attract more travelers to generate more profit.…
