Paper Introduction: SOUTHWEST AND THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY AFTER SEPTEMBER 11
While the airline industry had been falling victim to higher fuel prices and lower load factors even before September 11, the grounding of all airlines flying in, to, or from the U.S. for two days and the public’s increasing fear of flying has caused billions of dollars in losses, and not merely in the U.S. Swissair, for generations the epitome of “class” among international airlines , stopped flying until it was rescued by a $380 million bailout by Swiss banks- and then only until October 28. Nearly every airline in America cut back its schedules and laid off or furloughed thousands of workers. Until now, the one beacon of continuity was Southwest Airlines, a highly successful short-hop airline- perhaps the most profitable in the U.S. But now, even this airline has had to make some

Paper Introduction: DEMAND; SOUTHWEST AIRLINES AND THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
OVERVIEW:
Demand in the airline industry is based on two types of passenger/customers: the business traveler, whose last minute arrangements require full fare and earn the most profit for the airlines; and the leisure traveler who- with family or alone- can make plans well ahead of time and therefore can arrange for the most economical prices. As long as the economy in the U.S. was rising, and business was good and discretionary income was high, the airlines were doing good business. In other words, the basic demands controlling the airline industry were the immediate needs of business travelers and long-range plans for vacationers.
But, after several years of a booming economy, when the airline

Paper Introduction: THE BOEING 767—FROM CONCEPT TO PRODUCTION (A)(B): AN EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FORMAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
Summary
The production management process for the production of the Boeing 767 was evaluated. Integration management was faulted in the project management evaluation during the initiating, planning, and executing stages because of the cockpit design issue. Because there was no past experience with a two-person cockpit design for a jet airliner, Boeing management should have allowed for a long delay in the approval process. Further, the production process should have been adjusted to provide for cockpit construction towards the end of the process. Integration controlling and closing was not faulted, as the plans made and executed were handled effectively in these s

Paper Introduction: CASE ANALYSIS: DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
1. Overall Problem Definition
Often called one of the greatest of the 20th Century, Denver International Airport, as explained in the case study, had 64 separate problems that merited attention and solution. Because of this, the only way to identify the “Overall-clear cut problem which requires immediate attention” is to make an assumption that all of the 64 problem areas cited are actually subsets of the largest problem. After preparing a matrix of all the problems, it became apparent that the major problem is that at no time during the long time span identified in the case were the basic tenets of Project Management considered. Because of this failure, a project that was to cost a little over $1 billion cost almost $5 billion, and the final product was, and s

Paper Introduction: The Best & Worst Airlines in the United States
Introduction
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) states that approximately 499 million people boarded one of the ten major U.S. carriers to fly domestically within the United States in 1999 (Bowen & Headley, 2000). This number does not include the almost 55 million people that boarded a flight in the US on route to an international destination. Furthermore, regional and commuter carriers accounted for an additional approximately 57 million passengers flying domestic routes. This brings to approximately 611 million the total number of people boarding a plane in the US in 1999. And looking to the future, the FAA forecasts that domestic passenger travel will increase, on average, bet

Paper Introduction: The Mars Global Surveyor is an American spacecraft which went into orbit around Mars on September 12, 1997 to conduct a detailed photographic survey of the planet beginning in March 1998. The spacecraft used a formerly untried technique called aerobraking to turn its initially highly elongated orbit into a circular orbit by dipping into the outer atmosphere of the planet. This was a $273 million project that began sending important data about the planet's surface at a quarter of the cost of the Mars Observer mission, which had failed in 1993 (Lawler, 2000).
Mars has long been a particular goal for space exploration. The planet has excited the human imagination, perhaps because of the many literary and dramatic works that suggested civilizations on Mars, and certainly because of the long-ago

Paper Introduction: The Cassini spacecraft was launched on October 15, 1997 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station using a U.S. Air Force Titan IVB/Centaur launch vehicle. The launch vehicle consisted of a two stage Titan IV booster rocket, two strap on solid rocket motors, the Centaur upper stage, and a payload enclosure or fairing. The complete Cassini flight system included the launch vehicle and the spacecraft, and the spacecraft, in turn, is composed of the orbiter and the Huygens probe. Such a space mission develops from a set of scientific goals, and in this case, science hopes to gain a better understanding of the planet Saturn, its famous rings, its magnetosphere, its principal moon Titan, and its other moons or "icy satellites." There may also be many other benefits, including technology spin offs, international cooperation, and educational motivation for people

Paper Introduction: One of mankind's great dreams is the discovery of other planetary systems and the ability to travel to them, and a first step in fulfilling this dream is the unmanned probe represented by the Voyager Interstellar Mission. This is a difficult mission by any measure. Voyager I was launched September 5, 1977, and after it has been speeding along for more than 20 years, it is now 6.8 billion miles away from Earth traveling at nearly 51,000 miles per hour. In cosmic terms, that is only about 10 light hours away. However, the closest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.3 light years, or 25 trillion miles, away. If Voyager were pointed in the right direction, it is calculated that it would take some 74,000 years to make the trip. However, effective interstellar missions must occur on a human time scale preferably within an individual's lifetime -

Paper Introduction: INTRODUCTION
To a greater degree than ever before, World War II was an air war. World War I had been the first to be fought with airplanes, largely in the famous dogfights between competing air units, while World War II included this element as well as bombing raids conducted far from home base by German planes over Great Britain and other distant regions, and later by the V-2 rockets that were also directed at that island nation. The German Luftwaffe was a key element in the Nazi intention of conquering much of Europe beginning in the 1930s and continuing through the war in the 1940s. The Luftwaffe was a formidable air power. It had its origins in World War I, but after that war, the Treaty of Versailles had forced the Luftwaffe into a clandestine existence until 1935, when the Nazi propaganda

Paper Introduction: The regulation of foreign airlines in the United States is governed by international agreements indicating how foreign airlines are to be treated at airports and in airspace throughout the world. Several important international agreements have been passed and implemented to assure that international air travel takes place in a regular manner, following specific rules, and with a minimum of interference. The rules passed and the manner in which these rules have been applied have changed over the years, and the United States has altered its view as to how international regulations should be enforced.
There is no completely liberal regime for air services in the world today:
A genuinely liberal regime for air services would permit firms to enter and exit markets without government

ABSTRACT
This study examined visual perception issues associated with night flying. While several visual perception issues were examined, an important focus was placed on the issue of autokinesis.
Autokinesis and other visual perception issues associated with night flying are elements of the broader concept of spatial perception. Spatial perception involves the ability to estimate depth or distance between points in one’s field of vision. The human eye is optimized for daylight vision. At night, human vision is much less acute than in the daylight. Depth perception, which is of critical importance during the landing of a

Speed and constant temperature are the keys to success in shipping time-sensitive goods like flowers, seafood, and fresh fruits (Cohan 10). As an example, on Valentine’s Day the temperature in Minneapolis hovers around 20 degrees Fahrenheit; yet many of the city’s residents want to celebrate the holiday with red roses that must be shipped from warmer climes. Roses for Minneapolis in mid-winter come primarily from Mexico. The Mexican border is 1,5

Paper Introduction: Deep space Exploration
Introduction: Why Explore?
Space exploration, born out of the cauldron of the cold war, has brought with it a lasting gift. This gift is exemplified by the first pictures of Earth from outer space taken by Apollo 8 as it circumnavigated the Moon on Christmas day 1968. The famous Earth Rise photograph allowed us to see the Earth as a fragile tiny life-giving biosphere amidst the vast hostile environment of the cosmos. It inspired a stunning trans-national vision to see that global cooperation is the essential precondition for our survival.
Even though the exploration of space was spurred by political challenges 30 years past, there are more enduring practical reasons to

ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to assess strength of the support for and opposition to the CRM concept within the airline industry in 1997. This objective included an identification of the sources of such support and opposition.
The research design involved the collection of data from three groups—airline managerial personnel, airline captains, airline cockpit personnel other than captains, and airline in-flight personnel other than cockpit personnel. The research design, which was exploratory in character, called for a comparison of the reactions of these groups to the CRM concept. Further, the research design provided for the comparison of reactions to the CRM concept within these groups on the basis of expo

Paper Introduction: Introduction
The air transport industry is one of the most highly competitive in the world despite significant barriers to entry arising from the large capital outlays required to purchase, operate and maintain aircraft. As demand for international air travel has increased, alliances have been formed among domestic carriers as well as among international carriers. The result is that the market as a whole is undergoing a period of consolidation which is bringing new pressure to bear on government regulators, and is prompting some critics of the industry to call for increased regulation. This research examines the airline industry and the effect of mergers within the industry. Particular emphasis is placed on the recent announcement that Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines would be merging, and the

Paper Introduction: Introduction
For many years, the benefits of owning a private jet have been limited only to the largest companies and the wealthiest individuals. Private jets are expensive to purchase, require intensive (and costly) maintenance, and demand that highly skilled professionals be available to serve as crew. Despite these drawbacks, the advantages, such as having access to international and domestic travel without relying on commercial carriers' schedules, can be significant. In recent years, however, there has been a growing trend toward fractional ownership of aircraft. This approach (which is similar to time sharing) makes it possible for companies and individuals with more limited resources to have access to private jets than has been historically possible. This research focuses on the marketing of fractional ow

Paper Introduction: CONSUMER EFFECTS OF AIRLINE DEREGULATION, AND EFFECTS ON COMPENSATION AND LABOR RELATIONS IN THE INDUSTRY
Introduction
Subsequent to the completion of the airline deregulation program almost 17 years, ago both the market structure and the ownership structure of the industry have been transformed. Deregulation brought about a rush of new airline companies into the industry. In 1978, the last full year of operation prior to the initiation of deregulation, there were 248 airline companies in the United States (“FAA Opens,” 1985). By the end of the first full year of deregulation, there were 349 such companies.
By the end of the second full year of deregulation, however, some carriers—many old line—had failed or were on the verge of financial failure. By early 1983, the industry had dev

Paper Introduction: Introduction
Computers have become part of our everyday lives, often in ways of which we are unaware. Aside from the obvious use of computers in business and industry, computers are used in our automobiles, in retail stores, as burglar alarm systems and even in our videotape machines. Few professions have not been affected by the introduction of computers; in some cases, computers have completely replaced human employees. Many companies have used computers to improve their efficiency and productivity. Because computers are able to process thousands of bits of information very quickly and with extreme accuracy, their use has been especially welcomed in areas where lives are at stake, such as in medicine. In the aviation industry, computers have long been used to improve navigation and to provide better information to pilots. Su

Paper Introduction: AIRPORT SECURITY
Abstract
The topic of airport security was examined. This examination was limited a consideration of security measures that can be taken by airport managements to minimize the potential for the occurrence of terrorist incidents.
Increased terrorist activities—both foreign and domestic—has enhanced the threat to airport security in the United States. An airline industry that is reluctant to either inconvenience passengers or spend money on airport security is one impediment to enhanced airport security. A fiscal “slash and burn” attitude in the current Congress simply makes matters worse. The outcome of the investigation of the explosion of TWA Flight 800, if a definitive conclusion is ever reached, likely will determine future ai

Persistent reports have linked electromagnetic interference (EMI) with airliner on-board communications and navigation systems with the use on such aircraft of passenger-carried portable electronic equipment (Nordwall, 1993, p. 32). The problem is exacerbated by two developments--portable electronic equipment has proliferated, and the smaller size and low-voltage characteristics of modern aircraft electronics causes them to be increasingly vulnerable to EMI.

Paper Introduction: Aircraft Interior Lighting Systems
The primary goal of any aircraft interior lighting system is to provide the aviator with adequate visual performance. Present cockpit designs are currently undergoing rapid change. Various sophisticated technological systems are simultaneously attaining a state of maturation. Such advances as night vision goggles and the glass cockpit will require significant future innovation in cockpit lighting strategies.
There are two different dimensions to aircraft interior lighting. These comprise the micro and the macro aspects. Micro level concerns involve, for example, the following: individual lighting requirements, lighting design options, user technique, and lighting system evaluation. In contrast, the macro aspect relates to system design considerations. These may include

Paper Introduction: The Air Traffic Control System
The responsibilities of air traffic control are varied and complex. In addition coordinating air traffic flow, they also provide traffic advisories and weather information. In recent years, considerable effort has been focused on upgrading the air traffic control system in the United States. The National Airspace System Plan (NASP) will replace 1960s vintage equipment with new technologies, and also streamline control operations. Moreover, the plan's automated systems will rely heavily on space for both communication and navigation. The NASP promises to set the standard for air traffic control.
Perhaps the primary challenge for air traffic control (ATC) is to keep up with the ever increasing demand on airspace. Between 1980 and 1987, the number of people travelling by air in
Paper Introduction: The original 747 was built in response to the Douglas Corporation's decision to significantly increase the number of passenger seats in the DC-8 during the mid-1960s. As Boeing began to build designs for a bigger jet, oversized military cargo planes were responsible for giving them their ground plan:
Although Boeing was still thinking about stretched versions of the 707 during 1965, the legacy of the military design studies obviously contributed to the rapid progress of the 747 design, once the company decided to go ahead with the project in 1966 (Bilstein, 1984, p. 262).
In contrast, the beginning of the 767 widebody jet was catalyzed by the aging of the airline industry's fleet of jets. By the end of the 1970s:

Paper Introduction: Gulfstream V
The Gulfstream aircraft were originally designed and manufactured by the Grumman Corporation. Following World War II, Grumman recognized the need for corporate aircraft. Gulfstreams typically seat from 10 to 16 passengers. Like Grumman's fighter aircraft, the Gulfstreams not only possess state of the art technology, but are engineered to look tough as well. The latest addition to the aircraft's lineage is the Gulfstream V. The jet represents a significant technological improvement over the Gulfstream IV. In particular, the plane's range has been extended considerably. This feature, and others, should make the jet highly marketable. It is hoped that the Gulfstream V will reaffirm Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation's dominant position in the large business jet market.
