Real-life examples include movies of low-speed and supersonic flows, vortex motions, generation of lift, and various flight maneuvers and responses. The current package is being used as a supplement in such courses as junior-level aerodynamics, senior-level aircraft dynamics, and aerospace engineering laboratories. A structural framework for adding additional material was developed, and a consistent and user-friendly interface was constructed and tested. This article focuses on the recent developments to make the package more flexible and interactive. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The Chairman of the NTSB sought an extensive and intensive examination of NTSB's ability to investigate major transportation accidents and in particular, accidents involving commercial aviation. This report, the most comprehensive examination of the workings of the NTSB in its 30 year history, contains the results of that study. The report presents recommendations directed at: strengthening the process which involves manufacturers, operators and others involved in determining the probable causes of accidents; expanding the statement of causation; modernizing the NTSB's investigative procedures; streamlining its internal processes; managing the agency's resources and staffing more effectively; developing training opportunities for NTSB staff, ...

Safety in the Skies: Personnel and Parties in NTSB Aviation Accident Investigations, 2000

In recognizing the enormous challenges the NTSB faces, agency Chairman Jim Hall sought a critical examination of the NTSB's ability to investigate major transportation accidents, and in particular commercial aviation accidents. The results of that study are contained in this report, the most comprehensive examination of the workings of the NTSB in the 30-year history of the agency. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, RAND used a variety of quantitative and qualitative research techniques to assess the NTSB's operations and processes. This research, conducted in the RAND Institute for Civil Justice, outlines recommendations aimed at strengthening the party process-which involves manufacturers, operators, and others in the determination of the probable cause of an accident expanding the statement of causation modernizing the NTSB's investigative procedures and streamlining its internal processes managing the agency's resources and staffing more effectively developing training opportunities for NTSB staff improving the agency's R&D facilities.
