John Vassberg | Boomerang Flight Dynamics

This Webinar will present practical flight control system design methods for aircraft and rotorcraft UAVs and illustrate these methods with flight-test case studies. First, the optimization-based approach to practical flight control design using CONDUIT® will be presented, with special emphasis on UAV applications. The majority of the webinar will present detailed case studies demonstrating methods and flight test results for full-scale and sub-scale UAVs. Recent case studies of multi-copter UAVs will be highlighted, since these configurations are receiving a lot of current interest in the UAV community.

The Internet of Things (IoT), as defined by the International Telecommunications Union, is “a global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies”. IoT may generate new customer-serving and revenue-generating opportunities at airports, optimize airport operations, and create efficiencies that could impact various stakeholders.

Tail Assignment and Aircraft Routing are two very powerful tools to help your airline proactively plan and develop more efficient and robust schedules.Aircraft Routing balances passenger booking information, crew requirements and maintenance constraints to deliver the most efficient aircraft routing options.Tail Assignment considers each aircraft’s specific operating costs and operational constraints to allocate the most optimal tail to each aircraft.

How can the Internet of Things be used to improve drivers’ parking experience? Is it possible to make it easier to spot a free parking space in a garage? The AUTOPILOT webinar on 31 May 2018 explored these questions and many more. The second in the AUTOPILOT webinar series, it was hosted by TNO and focused on the work being done at the AUTOPILOT test site in Brainport, Eindhoven region.
