A GEOMETRIC APPROACH TOWARDS AIRSPACE ASSESSMENT FOR EMERGING OPERATIONS

June 26, 2019

Emerging Urban Air Mobility (UAM) operators propose to introduce extensive flight networks into metropolitan airspace. However, this airspace currently contains complex legacy airspace constructs and flight operations that are perceived as safe, efficient, and generally acceptable to the overflown public. Hence, Air Traffic Management (ATM) concepts to support UAM may be constrained to cause little to no interference with these legacy operations. The identification of airspace that is non-interfering and potentially “available” to these new operators is therefore a critical first step to support UAM integration.

From Aircraft Health Monitoring to Aircraft Health ManagementWhite Paper on AHM

whitePaper | February 15, 2022

The perspective of a “self-healing” aircraft is still a distant one even if some of the edge research in self-diagnostics and self-repair of complex structures is bringing such aircraft of the future out of the Science Fiction realm and closer to aviation attainable goals. In this context, the first step to ensure the desired technical availability of the aircraft is to set-up an appropriate maintenance activity, which is focused on and supports the airworthiness, technical capability and performance of each aircraft, as demanded by the airline’s operation schedule.
