20000066577 Air Force Inst. of Tech., Wright-Patterson AFB, OH USA Reducing Aircraft Quick-Turn Ground Times in the European Environment Carlson, Karn L.; Jan. 1999; 47p; In English Report No.(s): AD-A372327; AFIT/GMO/LAL/99Y-2; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A03, Hardcopy; A01, Microfiche The Air Force has a limited number of air mobility aircraft and aircrews and these resources are becoming increasingly strained. Added to this, our workload is increasing - we are involved in an ever-increasing number of operations and exercises. Instead of working harder we need to work smarter, by looking for ways to process our aircraft more quickly and efficiently, yet maintain the needed safety standards.

This paper discusses autonomous relative navigation performance for a formation of four eccentric, medium-altitude Earth-orbiting satellites using Global Positioning System (GPS) Standard Positioning Service (SPS) and ”GPS-like ” intersatellite measurements. The performance of several candidate relative navigation approaches is evaluated. These analyses indicate that an autonomous relative navigation position accuracy of 1meter root-mean-square can be achieved by differencing high-accuracy filtered solutions if only measurements from common GPS space vehicles are used in the independently estimated solutions.

JPL currently operates more than 55 permanent, continuously operating GPS ground stations for NASA many in conjunction with international and regional agencies. The data are automatically uploaded from the remote stations, processed, and distributed, with a high degree of reliability.

Dramatically improving information technology is rapidly changing the design environment and the potential capability of the design toolsets. Along with these improvements in capability, there is a change in our expectations and requirements for both the design teams and the tools that enable the design teams to accomplish their tasks.

This paper will address the time and activities associated with the conceptual and preliminary design of an aircraft, the role of the aerodynamicist in this early design period and the tools that he uses. The question of how the design time can be shortened will be discussed and what the aerodynamicist can do about it.

The need for aerospace engineers to be conversant with many disciplines and aware of the many facets of a project is today’s reality. However, in today’s working environment it is becoming increasingly difficult for individuals to achieve the necessary experience, with the timescales for major aerospace projects getting ever longer and their number decreasing. The Group Design Projects within the Aircraft Engineering course have the specific purpose of addressing this issue. They provide the opportunity for aerospace engineers from a range of disciplines to be involved in a real project, with many of the difficulties and constraints of those they will meet in their working lives. These projects progress through the full design process and provide this experience within a limited time period and, relatively, limited risk environment. In addition to meeting their basic objective, Group Design Projects commenced to-date have proved very demanding but provided further benefits to all concerned.
