Holzäpfel, Frank, Gerz, Thomas, Frech, Michael, Tafferner, Arnold, Köpp, Friedrich, Smalikho, Igor, ...
The design of the Wake Vortex Prediction and Monitoring System WSVBS is described with all its components and their interaction. The WSVBS has been developed to tactically increase airport capacity...
Comparison of wake-vortex parameters measured by pulsed and continuous-wave lidars (2005)
Köpp, Friedrich, Rahm, Stephan, Smalikho, Igor, Dolfi, Agnès, Cariou, Jean-Pierre, Harris, Michael, ...
Field trials carried out at Tarbes airfield in the summer of 2002 offered the unique opportunity to compare the results of simultaneous wake-vortex measurements by the 2-μm pulsed Doppler lidar from...
Research towards a wake-vortex advisory system for optimal aircraft spacing (2005)
Gerz, Thomas, Holzäpfel, Frank, Bryant, Wayne, Köpp, Friedrich, Frech, Michael, Tafferner, Arnold, ...
Wake turbulence is a major concern for busy airports as it limits capacity. Solutions for new aircraft staggering procedures are sought which relax the current separations but keep safety on a high...
