Download or read book Description of Selected Algorithms and Implementation Details of a Concept-Demonstration Aircraft Vortex Spacing System (Avoss) written by National Aeronautics and Space Adm Nasa and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-09-19 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ground-based system has been developed to demonstrate the feasibility of automating the process of collecting relevant weather data, predicting wake vortex behavior from a data base of aircraft, prescribing safe wake vortex spacing criteria, estimating system benefit, and comparing predicted and observed wake vortex behavior. This report describes many of the system algorithms, features, limitations, and lessons learned, as well as suggested system improvements. The system has demonstrated concept feasibility and the potential for airport benefit. Significant opportunities exist however for improved system robustness and optimization. A condensed version of the development lab book is provided along with samples of key input and output file types. This report is intended to document the technical development process and system architecture, and to augment archived internal documents that provide detailed descriptions of software and file formats.Hinton, David A.Langley Research CenterESTIMATING; ALGORITHMS; AIRCRAFT WAKES; DATA ACQUISITION; ROBUSTNESS (MATHEMATICS); PREDICTIONS; DATA BASES; VORTICES; SPACING; FORMAT; FEASIBILITY; ARCHITECTURE (COMPUTERS)
