Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo optimization algorithm and a computer simulation, I find the passenger ordering which minimizes the time required to board the passengers onto an airplane. The model that I employ assumes that the time that a passenger requires to load his or her luggage is the dominant contribution to the time needed to completely fill the aircraft. The optimal boarding strateg...

Many researchers conducted the effort for improving the classification accuracy of satellite image. Most of the study has used optical spectral information of each pixel for image classification. By applying this method for high resolution satellite image, number of class became increase. This situation was remarkable for objects in urban area. In this study, we propose the method for extractin...

The phenomenon of overbanking tendency for a rigid-body, fixed-wing aircraft is investigated. Overbanking tendency is defined as a spontaneous, unbalanced rolling moment that keeps increasing an airplane’s bank angle in steep turns and must be arrested by opposite aileron action. As stated by the Federal Aviation Administration, the overbanking tendency may lead to a loss of control, especially...

SURFEX is a new externalized land and ocean surface platform that describes the surface fluxes and the evolution of four types of surfaces: nature, town, inland water and ocean. It is mostly based on pre-existing, well-validated scientific models that are continuously improved. The motivation for the building of SURFEX is to use strictly identical scientific models in a high range of applicatio...

The problem of stabilization of lateral and longitudinal positions for hover flight mode of an unmanned autonomous helicopter (UAH) in a gusty environment is considered. The controller design is based on generic linear model which successfully describes the behaviour of most small scale helicopters. A recursive (backstepping) design procedure is used to design the robust adaptive controller for...

Model Based Testing (MBT) plays an essential role in the software development. Developing applications requires a Model based design that needs to be tested in order guarantee that there are no serious bugs. In some applications like airplane navigation, health monitoring it would be fatal if the application crashes during its execution time. Thus the developed software must be tested carefully...

In order to make airplane main procedures more efficient and thus s and costs, the distribution of airplane em software will increasingly be p electronically over networks. Sinc software often implements vital func while on the other hand comm networks are in
