This report assesses the operational performance of explosives-detection equipment and hardened unit-loading devices (HULDs) in airports and compares their operational performance to their laboratory performance, with a focus on improving aviation security.
Because of 9/11, there is universal recognition that aviation security is a deadly serious business. Still, around the world today, the practice of aviation security is rooted in a hodgepodge of governmental rules, industry traditions, and local idiosyncrasies. In fact, nearly seven years after the largest single attack involving the air transport industry, there remains no viable framework in …
The purpose of this text is to present methods for computing drag polars of conventional airplanes at Mach numbers below 1.0. The word conventional is to be interpreted such that airplanes with highly swept, low aspect ratio wings (Л > 35°; A< 4) are excluded.Two methods are presented. First a very fast preliminary design method for estimating drag polars at low Mach numbers. Second a more el…
