Wake Turbulence
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309113792
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
Without major changes, the current air transportation system will be unable to accommodate the expected increase in demand by 2025. One proposal to address this problem is to use the Global Positioning System to enable aircraft to fly more closely spaced. This approach, however, might be limited by the wake turbulence problem, which can be a safety hazard when smaller aircraft follow relatively larger aircraft too closely. To examine how this potential hazard might be reduced, Congress in 2005 directed NASA to request a study from the NRC to assess the federal wake turbulence R&D program. This book provides a description of the problem, an assessment of the organizational challenges to addressing wake turbulence, an analysis of the technical challenges in wake turbulence, and a proposal for a wake turbulence program plan. A series of recommendations for addressing the wake turbulence challenge are also given.

Book Description
This document is a record of the joint FAA/NASA workshop on wake vortex alleviation and avoidance conducted at the DOT Transportation Systems Center, November 28-29, 1978. The workshop was sponsored by the Federal Aviation Administration to apprise the appropriate specialists of the state of the art and to formulate program recommendations for wake vortex alleviation at the source, for wake avoidance systems, and for operations, and safety regulations.

Aircraft Wake Vortex Spacing System (AVOSS) Performance Update and Validation Study
Author: David K. Rutishauser
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Air traffic control
Languages : en
Pages : 28
Book Description
An analysis has been performed on data generated from the two most recent field deployments of the Aircraft Wake Vortex Spacing System (AVOSS). The AVOSS provides reduced aircraft spacing criteria for wake vortex avoidance as compared to the FAA spacing applied under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). Several field deployments culminating in a system demonstration at Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport in the summer of 2000 were successful in showing a sound operational concept and the system's potential to provide a significant benefit to airport operations. For DFW, a predicted average throughput increase of 6% was observed. This increase implies 6 or 7 more aircraft on the ground in a one-hour period for DFE operations. Several studies of performacne correlations to system configuration options, and system inputs are also reported. The studies focus on the validation performance of the system.

Book Description
This viewgraph presentation reviews the cooperative work that FAA and NASA are engaged in to safely increase the capacity of the National Airspace System by studying the wake vortex operations. Wake vortex avoidance is a limiting factor in defining separation standards in the airport terminal area and could become a reducing separation standards in en route airspace.

Analysis of Wakevas Benefits Using Aces Build 3.2.1
Author: National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781720384601
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The FAA and NASA are currently engaged in a Wake Turbulence Research Program to revise wake turbulence separation standards, procedures, and criteria to increase airport capacity while maintaining or increasing safety. The research program is divided into three phases: Phase I near term procedural enhancements; Phase II wind dependent Wake Vortex Advisory System (WakeVAS) Concepts of Operations (ConOps); and Phase III farther term ConOps based on wake prediction and sensing. This report contains an analysis that evaluates the benefits of a closely spaced parallel runway (CSPR) Phase I ConOps, a single runway and CSPR Phase II ConOps and a single runway Phase III ConOps. A series of simulation runs were performed using the Airspace Concepts Evaluation System (ACES) Build 3.21 air traffic simulator to provide an initial assessment of the reduction in delay and cost savings obtained by the use of a WakeVAS at selected U.S. airports. The ACES simulator is being developed by NASA Ames Research Center as part of the Virtual Airspace Modelling and Simulation (VAMS) program.Smith, Jeremy C.Langley Research CenterAIRSPACE; COST REDUCTION; VORTEX ADVISORY SYSTEM; WAKES; VORTEX ALLEVIATION; AIR TRAFFIC; AIRPORTS; AUGMENTATION; RUNWAYS; SAFETY; TURBULENCE
