Rotary-wing aircraft (e.g., helicopters and tilt-wing aircraft) are an important component of all U.S. military services and the U.S. civil aviation industry. Our analyses of wildlife strikes to military rotary-wing aircraft, both within the United States and during overseas deployments, as well as civil helicopters, have shown there are important patterns within wildlife strike data for fl igh...

We describe models and exact solutions approaches for an integrated aircraft fleeting and routing problem arising at TunisAir. Given a schedule of flights to be flown, the problem consists of determining a minimum cost route assignment for each aircraft so as to cover each flight by exactly one aircraft while satisfying maintenance activity constraints. We investigate two tailored approaches fo...

Purpose: This article examines the direction of aircraft maintenance management in Thailand for new era, emphasizing importance safety, efficiency, and international standard certification. Theoretical framework: Appropriate can pave way increased revenue survival airlines current situation. Design/methodology/approach: proposes principles to improve process Thailand, with primary goals increas...

Aircraft industry has to meet a challenge of reducing operational and maintenance costs. One of the possible ways for reducing these costs is the introduction of wireless sensor networks (WSNs). WSNs are already finding a variety of applications for both safety-critical and non-safety critical distributed systems. This paper deals with the application of WSNs for aircraft structural health moni...

Dr. Abdel-Moez Bayoumi is a professor of mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering and the Associate Dean of the College of Engineering and Computing at the University of South Carolina. The Center for Predictive Maintenance hosts a versatile facility for testing aircraft components and supports the adoption of the conditionbased maintenance (CBM) paradigm within the U.S. Army Aviation ...

Multiple classifier systems (MCS) are considered as one of the most significant advances in pattern classification in recent years. Numerous studies (both theoretical and empirical) have proved that MCS are effective in achieving improved classification performance for various application problems. Aircraft engine fault diagnosis plays a crucial rule in costeffective operation of aircraft engin...
