Take Off To Superiority: The Evolution & Impact Of U.S. Aircraft In War, Lane Weidner
Honors Theses
Military aviation has become a staple in the way wars are fought, and ultimately, won. This research paper takes a look at the ways that aviation has evolved and impacted wars across the U.S. history timeline. With a brief introduction of early flight and the modern concept of an aircraft, this article then delves into World Wars I and II, along with the Cold, Korean, Vietnam, and Gulf Wars. The current War on Terrorism is then investigated, and finally, a look toward the future. Topics covered include the newest aircraft of each era, technological advancements, and how strategy and war …

This exploratory study utilizes large data sets emanating from flight data recorders on a fleet of general aviation training aircraft. These flight data sets reveal and provide potential correlations between pilot experience levels and in-flight engine events within a flight school environment. The origin of this research comes from the collection of flight data that is produced during a flight school aircraft operation and analyzed by an Aviation Safety staff at a major flight training university. These data were collected over a period of six calendar months during the calendar year 2018. The raw data is analyzed through a Flight …

Pilot fatigue is a significant hazard affecting flight operations;
- Generally the product of one or more factors: Disrupted or lack of sleep;
- Inadequate food and or fluid intake;
- Mental;
- and Physical fatigue.
Previous studies have focused on military and commercial flight operations;
- Little to nothing has been done to investigate fatigue identification & management by general aviation pilots!
