The creation of a flight schedule and the associated crew planning are clearly among most complicated tasks in terms traffic preparation. Even with relatively small number pilots aircraft, numerous specific constraints arising from real operations must be included calculation, thus increasing complexity process. However, even precision-planned operation, non-standard situations often occur, whi...

Formation flying techniques, demonstrated by migratory birds, have the potential to significantly save energy when two or more transport aircraft fly same route at time. In fuel-saving formations, are straight trajectories for most of For proof concept, however, how vertical and lateral maneuvers can be flown has investigated. Those investigations require a flight simulator that is equipped wit...
