SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the potential for faster takeoff and landing technologies in aviation, specifically exploring the feasibility of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) systems. Participants highlight that current aircraft are optimized for cruising speeds, and significant changes to takeoff and landing procedures would require overcoming efficiency and safety challenges. The Airbus A380 is mentioned as an example of a large aircraft facing production challenges due to market demands. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the complexities of air traffic management and the limitations of existing technologies in achieving faster flight durations.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) technology
  • Knowledge of aircraft performance metrics, including cruising speed and fuel efficiency
  • Familiarity with air traffic management and airport congestion issues
  • Awareness of the Airbus A380 and its operational challenges
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advancements in VTOL technology and its current limitations
  • Explore the physics of aircraft performance, focusing on drag and fuel consumption
  • Investigate air traffic management systems and their impact on flight efficiency
  • Study the market dynamics affecting large aircraft production, particularly the Airbus A380
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineers, aviation industry professionals, and anyone interested in the future of air travel and efficiency improvements in aviation technology.

That's the future of air traffic control, not the future of aviation. It's a very important thing to get done, but it has little or nothing to do with the design of planes.

phinds,you are wrong :) you can not think about future of aviation including one part of it and excluding another one :)

How do you expect to detect clear-air-turbulence CAT ?

Perhaps we are using different definitions of aviation. As I said, air traffic control is very important, but it is not the design and flying of airplanes, which is what I think of as aviation.

I just posted a question: How pilot will be able do detect CAT in the airplane during flight?

Are you familiar with CAT issues? Detecting CAT is an issue very well connected with topic of > internal design of an airplane.

What exactly is your concern about relation among design and flying of airplanes ? thank you :)

I am responding to your original statement that the future of aviation is the proposed Next Generation Air Transpiration [sic] System. I have agreed repeatedly that that is a very important thing to do, I just think of that as air traffic control and aviation to me is more about the design of the airplanes and how they handle for the pilots.

Let's just agree to disagree.

Let's just agree to disagree.

Are you asking also about importance of Human Factors in airplane design ?

This thread is old enough to get some rest.
@Jupiter5: feel free to start a new thread, but please make clear what your point is, don't change it with every post.
