Air traffic management ensures the safety of flight by optimizing flows and maintaining
separation between aircraft. After giving some definitions, some typical feature of aircraft …

Emergency Landing is a complex problem of optimal path planning of an impaired airplane
in presence of obstacles, while the airplane performance characteristics have degraded …

One of the major challenges of conducting operations of unmanned aircraft, especially
operations beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS), is to make a realistic and sufficiently …

Safety is a key factor in all aviation, and while years of development has made manned
aviation relatively safe, the same has yet to happen for unmanned aircraft. However, the …

Realization of the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vision will require a transition from one or more
pilots flying each aircraft to large numbers of aircraft managed by a much smaller number of …

Loss of thrust (LOT) emergencies create the need for quickly providing pilots with valid
trajectories for safely landing the aircraft. It is easy to pre-compute total lost of thrust …

This paper addresses the generation of aircraft emergency trajectories with obstacle
avoidance. After presenting in detail the fast marching tree algorithm, in this paper we …

The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in military and industry today is becoming more
widespread. There are a wide range of UAV models that are functional today. The size of …

General aviation and small unmanned aircraft systems are less redundant, may be less
thoroughly tested, and are flown at lower cruise altitudes than commercial aviation …

This paper presents methodology to enable path planning for an unmanned aerial vehicle
that uses dynamic data-driven flight capability estimation. The main contribution of the work …
