great deal of liberty in the market. Although things were going well for those involved in the aviation industry, several factors began to have a negative impact on the industry. For instance, as the competition started to escalate, airlines began to take a competitive stance against one another, fighting for their share of the market. Moreover, the World Trade Center tragedy in 2001 had an adverse impact on the entire airline industry (Coy, 2005). Adding to the predicament, the recent financial

This capstone will involve an assessment of the developments made in aviation safety, which has greatly improved over the years thanks to the many advances in different but interconnected aviation fields. The main factors are aircraft design, human factors, and organizational safety cultures. This project will initially evaluate the improvements in aircraft design and aircraft systems by comparing different aircraft materials, by analyzing the improved reliability of aircraft components and by assessing
These parts include the propulsion system, the tail, the wing, and the fuselage (Malev Virtual Training Division, 2005). Before the landing gear is designed, the stability of the aircraft must be proven, by establishing its center of gravity (Federal Aviation Administration, 2014). In a few circumstances, the structure of the aircraft my need to be changed by the designer in order to accommodate the landing gear. The main roles of the landing gear include stability of the aircraft during taxi and
Commercial and general aviation will continue to experience an increase in air traffic for the foreseeable future. This congestion has been proven to cause costly delays and potential hazards to commercial aviation and the airport environment. Several major airports in metropolitan areas as well as the National Airspace System have been facing airport traffic and congestion issues over the last decades. Significant government dollars and resources have been utilized to asses and mitigate these

The economic impact of the expiration of the Wright Amendment, although a recent event, has been widely anticipated and projected for years prior to actual termination. The restrictive elements of
Since the first aircraft launched from a ship, the development of commercial passenger aircraft, to jet fighters and unmanned drone systems of today’s age, “safety is paramount” is not just a catch phrase and is repeated and highlighted in every aspect of aviation in the world. Historically speaking, safety has not always been the most important factor in research, development, and operation and those tragic results often end in loss of aircraft or worse yet, the life of others. This paper will
The U.S. airline industry has been in a chaotic state for a number of years. In 1993, a U.S. government report indicated that the industry had “Lost huge amounts of money in the past three years, and it has never made a sustained, substantial return on investment…” According to the Air Transport Association, the airline industry trade association, the loss from 1990 through 1994 was about $13 billion, while from 1995 through 2000, the airlines earned about $23 billion and then lost about $35 billion
comfort and personal convenience. The commerce of aviation, both the operation of commercial aircraft for profit and the development of aeronautical systems, is also an important symbol of national prestige and a powerful economic force. Safety in air transportation is therefore a matter of significant national importance. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) plays a central role in the overall equation of aviation safety. The agency enjoys the reputation of being
of Science Degrees, they changed their name in 2000 and added a variety of Bachelor of Science degrees. These include standard majors, such as business administration and Information Technology, and harder to find majors such as aviation management and professional aviation. In fact, Everglades University was one of the first higher learning institutions to offer an accredited Bachelor of Science degree in alternative medicine. Everglades University’s mission is to provide a quality education experience
