The `tumble’ departure mode in weightshift-controlled microlight aircraft
The cost of private or recreational ̄ying is high for most conventional aircraft types. During the last 25 years, however, an alternative has become available in the form of the microlight aircraft. It has a relatively low cost of ownership and has opened up ̄ying to a greater audience. However, there have been a number of accidents, usually fatal, to this class of aircraft, which could not be ...
متن کاملThe weightshift-controlled microlight aeroplane
Microlight aircraft are increasingly becoming the most popular segment of private aviation. In the United Kingdom the majority (about 2500 of a total fleet of 3500) of these aircraft are of the weightshift class, also known as flexwings or trikes. This paper introduces the main issues involved in the design and operation of this class of aeroplane.
متن کامل1 towards the Tumble Resistant Microlight
The tumble mode is a pitching departure from controlled flight which leads to a pitch autorotation that is generally unrecoverable – resulting in vertical ground impact, usually preceded by in-flight breakup (the mechanism for which, surprisingly, can sometimes prevent loss of life). This was identified in work led by the British Microlight Aircraft Association beginning in 1997 as a response t...
متن کاملOptimal departure aircraft trajectories minimising population annoyance
This paper presents a strategy for designing noise abatement procedures aimed at reducing the global annoyance perceived for the population living around the airports. By using fuzzy logic techniques it is shown how annoyance can be modelled in function of the maximum perceived noise level at a specific noise sensitive location and the time of the day when the departure takes place. Thus, the a...
متن کاملOperationalization of Norms in Aircraft Approach/Departure Decision Support
This work is focused on norm operationalization in aviation domain. The investigated paradigm can be described as: from legal norms to technical rules in the artifact. Normative requirements (norms) for the aircraft trajectories are extracted from the flight rules and airport procedures, and operationalized in a decision support system (DSS). The decision support is based on evaluation of risk ...
