Systems engineering framework to assess the impacts of very large capacity aircraft in airport operations and planning

AA Trani, AP Venturini - Transportation research record, 1999 - journals.sagepub.com
A methodology is presented to investigate the effect of Very Large Capacity Aircraft (VLCA)
operations at existing and future airports. The procedure that is described investigates
airport and airline impacts of VLCA operations using a systems engineering approach to
understand the trade-offs between economic and technological operational factors. Specific
topics discussed in this analysis are (a) the effect of VLCA on airport capacity,(b)
development of new geometric design guidelines,(c) landside impacts and gate …

Systems engineering framework to assess the effect of very large capacity aircraft in airport operations

A Venturini - 1994 - vtechworks.lib.vt.edu
The purpose of this research thesis is to develop an integrated framework methodology to
assess the effects of VLCA operations at existing and future airports. The procedure
described here investigates airport, airline and user impacts of VLCA operations using a
systems engineering approach to understand the trade-off between economic and
technological operational factors. Specific areas included in this systems engineering
analysis are: a) the effect of VLCA operations in the airside and runway capacity, b) …
