Generally, airplane upsets in flight are considered a precursor to loss of control (LOC-I) accidents, and unfortunately LOC-I is classified as the leading cause fatal accidents. To further explore risk factors, causal relationships, coupling mechanism upsets, this study proposed analysis model integrating Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) Bayesian Network (BN). Seventeen key factors were...

A high-rate yet low-cost air-to-ground (A2G) communication backbone is conceived for integrating the space and terrestrial network by harnessing opportunistic assistance of passenger planes or high altitude platforms (HAPs) as mobile base stations (BSs) millimetre wave communication. The airliners act network-provider users while relying on satellite backhaul. Three different beamforming techni...
