This article describes the assembly and performance of a differential pressure measurement system adapted to provide information about altitude difference. The system is being tested in different conditions and it is adapted for position angles measurement in a ducted fan-powered airplane. The main contribution of the article is a comparison of characteristics of pressure sensors suitable for differential measurement and consequently for altitude difference measurements. The proposed applications are precise large-scale terrain mapping and this article describes its usage on relatively small area given by size of the airplane that is flying at speeds higher than 100 km/h. The airplane design considerations are made to accommodate the proposed measurement system, which uses properties of standard atmosphere to determine the roll angle and the pitch angle of the airplane. We describe the details of the airplane that are necessary for the installation of the measurement system. The application on the airplane requires high precision sensors and installation. We describe the proposed principle of measurement as well as the data analysis and its performance under different conditions. These conditions include laboratory setup, UAV flight, an installation on a Cessna airplane, a stratospheric balloon and usage on a prototype of ducted fan powered airplane.

This paper investigates opportunities and challenges when implementing Trajectory-based Taxi Operations at airports dependent on the availability of Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) processes in Europe and the U.S. The German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) jointly developed a concept of operations for Trajectory-based Taxi Operations. An essential prerequisite of this concept is that adequate information sharing processes referring to collaborative decision making are available. CDM concepts like Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM) and Surface Collaborative Decision Making (S-CDM) were introduced by EUROCONTROL and the FAA, respectively, to improve the use of the available airport infrastructure. Both concepts aim to improve the efficiency of airport operations by reducing congestion on the airport surface, improving the traffic flow efficiency, and reducing uncertainties during airport operations. Both concepts are compared in this paper with a focus on taxi operations and the impact on the stakeholders. This paper provides an answer to the question which opportunities and challenges might be faced with the implementation of Trajectory-based Taxi Operations at airports with A-CDM and S-CDM. Especially from the perspective of involved stakeholders, the operational objectives that are partially contradicting to each other are discussed. It is shown that both CDM processes generally leverage the implementation of Trajectory-based Taxi Operations. However, there are still existing gaps that are identified and addressed in this paper. They based on current research in the area of airport surface traffic optimization towards Trajectory-based Taxi Operations.

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications will play a key role in enhancing the throughput, reliability, and security of next generation wireless networks. These advancements are achieved through the large bandwidth available in this band and through the use of highly directional links that will be used to overcome the large pathloss at these frequencies. Although the terrestrial application of mmWave systems is advancing at a rapid pace, the use of mmWave communication systems in aviation systems or airports is still in its infancy. This can be attributed to the challenges related to radio technology and lack of development, and characterization of mmWave wireless channels for the aviation field and the airport environment. Consequently, one of our goals is to develop methodologies that support mmWave air to ground links, and various links at airports, by applying new localization schemes that allow for application of highly directional links that can be deployed over longer distances despite the high path loss at mmWave frequencies. However, a very thorough understanding of the mmWave channel models are needed to enable such new applications. To this end, in this paper, we present a survey of the current channel models in the mmWave band. The 3-dimensional statistical channel model is also reviewed and its parameters and typical characteristics for this model are identified and computed through simulation for the Boise metropolitan area.

Business Insider in the drone report clearly states that the market for commercial/civil drones will grow at a compound annual grow rate of 19% between 2015 and 2020. The ample availability of affordable drones is leading to large amounts of drones being sold for civilian uses, especially when drones are equipped with high quality cameras and many other sensors which make them adaptable to a variable set of civilian (and not always noble) applications. The large increase in the number of drones entering the airspace is leading to real concerns about safety and security issues; and small incidents are more and more frequent. The causes are twofold. From one hand the unmanned inherent nature of drones involves a less maintained and consequently less reliable properties than manned aircrafts. From the other hand, civilian drones are piloted by amateurs with no particular experiences/backgrounds. In this paper, we analyze the existing state of the art and real use cases to identify the key factors involved in safety issues for UASs in civilian applications, we also propose our early work on 3D simulation involving UASs and other interacting devices for specific applications such as Industry 4.0 and smart factories.
Business Insider在无人机报告中明确指出，2015年至2020年间，商用/民用无人机市场将以19%的复合年增长率增长。价格合理的无人机的充足可用性导致大量无人机被出售用于民用，特别是当无人机配备了高质量的相机和许多其他传感器，使它们适应各种民用(并不总是高贵的)应用。进入空域的无人机数量大幅增加，引发了对安全和安保问题的真正担忧;小事件也越来越频繁。原因是双重的。一方面，无人机固有的无人性质涉及到比有人驾驶飞机更少的维护，因此更不可靠的性能。另一方面，民用无人机是由没有特别经验/背景的业余爱好者驾驶的。在本文中，我们分析了现有的技术状态和实际用例，以确定民用应用中UASs安全问题涉及的关键因素，我们还提出了我们在涉及UASs和其他特定应用(如工业4.0和智能工厂)的交互设备的3D模拟方面的早期工作。

NASA's UAS Traffic Management (UTM) project concluded its second flight demonstration activity in late October 2016. This activity demonstrated the capabilities and functionality incorporated into its Technical Capability Level 2 (TCL 2) concept, which envisions future operations that are low density, capable of being performed over sparsely populated areas, and allow for a concurrent mix of longer duration, beyond visual-line-of-sight flights and shorter flights within visual-line-of-sight (VLOS). To incorporate these features into a flight demonstration, a scenario-based approach was taken to address different aspects of the TCL 2 environment and to meet defined objectives. This paper will describe elements of how the flight activity was conducted and present analyses regarding UTM operations, system messages, and alerting as they pertained to meeting the demonstration objectives and shedding light on research questions and lessons learned.

The required navigation performance (RNP) transition to a xLS (ILS/GLS) is expected to be a near future flight procedure to reduce flight time and fuel burn, and enable precision approach. However, for the development of this new procedure design criteria, there are some problems regarding the transition from RNP segment to the xLS precision approach segment. This paper reveals the requirements to allow an aircraft to smoothly fly on the intended path including the transition. Based on the obtained requirements, a full-flight simulator experiment was conducted, and the requirements were proven to be appropriate. Finally, based on these requirements, the RNP transition to xLS flight procedures design criteria was developed to enable a procedure designer to design a flyable RNP transition to xLS procedure.

It is becoming increasingly clear that a paradigm shift in the way people travel will be seen in the near future. This is due to the ever increasing scope of technology in our lives and a built up public demand for safer, faster, and more efficient transportation options. It is also becoming clear that greater levels of autonomy will enable this paradigm shift to a large degree. However, due to the fact that this will require control over personal safety to be entrusted to the autonomous system, many physiological factors will play an important role in their acceptance. Unfortunately, available technology acceptance models do not include considerations for safety critical systems such as these. This paper proposes a new model which incorporates these considerations focusing on the psychology of control, acceptance, and trust and the factors that influence use of a safety critical technology. This model has been built using data from a series of surveys, simulations, reliability data, and previous technology acceptance models and has been validated using previous research into the usability of autonomous vehicles. The full model and considerations for the improvement of the model as well as further validation techniques is provided. The work in the University of Tulsa Vehicle Autonomy and Intelligence Lab (VAIL) has begun development and verification of the Safety-Critical Technology Acceptance Model and is progressing with the development of the Electronic Car Learning and Intelligence Program Simulator (ECLIPS). Through the investigation of these issues using ECLIPS and user feedback, VAIL is on track to model the acceptance and develop guidelines for the development and implementation of autonomous systems. VAIL is working to research these questions at a fundamental level and describe the topics in a way that can make sure these technologies are in line with the progression of technology and the future of human involvement with these systems.

NASA is collaborating with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and aviation industry partners to develop and demonstrate new concepts and technologies for Integrated Arrival, Departure, and Surface (IADS) traffic management capabilities under the Airspace Technology Demonstration 2 (ATD-2) project. One of the goals of the IADS capabilities in the ATD-2 project is to increase predictability and throughput of airspace operations by improving Traffic Management Initiative (TMI) compliance. This paper focuses on the Approval Request (APREQ) procedures developed for the ATD-2 project between the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Tower at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and Washington Center. In March 2017, NASA conducted a Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) simulation to evaluate the operational procedures and information requirements for the APREQ procedures in the ATD-2 IADS system between ATC Tower and Center. The findings from the HITL are used to compare ATD-2 APREQ procedures with information about current day APREQ procedures.

UAS demonstrators see a wide use as testbeds to verify new concepts in a real flying environment. For avionics testing payloads and new technologies are flown on well-proven platforms. If such a platform cannot be adopted or provided, new developments try to build up on convenient products, which is very often COTS. This paper explains the incorporation of COTS parts in the communication system of a UAS Demonstrator and explains the impact on the air vehicle and system design. Furthermore the challenges and opportunities of such an approach are weighed up.
