Recent Airline Incident

Major airline incidences are overly hard to come across even though minor incidences, though also not an order of the day, happen sporadically. For instance this week on Tuesday, a Xian MA60 plane developed a mechanical problem while trying to land at China’s Zhengzhou-Xinzheng International Airport (Aviation Safety Network, 2014). No fatality was recorded to this plane that was carrying 37 passengers and seven crew members. Even though no report is out about the cause of the incident, it is reported that the undercarriage of the plane retracted leading to the nose of the plane touching the runway (Aviation Safety ...

Need for a passenger railroad

There is a need for an inclusive passenger railroad in the US. This need is grounded on the need for a very high speed rail system. A passenger railroad will be required to accommodate the need for intercity transportation within the US. In addition, the need for urban transportation will be accommodated by the passenger railroad. The transit centers in the US will be crowded, hence the need for a passenger railroad (McMahon, 2012). Other transport modes such as highways and aviation are constrained in capacity, and they are starved of capital. Therefore, with expected business and population growth, there will be a ...

Shoring

A shoring system is necessary so as to ensure safety for the workers. The basement construction process will involve excavation near the neighboring building. The neighboring building is delicate because it was constructed long before the Australian standards of footing were set up. If shoring is not done, the workers will be at danger of a collapsing building. Shoring will help to offer support to the building so that it does not collapse in the process of constructing the basement. Shoring will also help in speeding up the excavation process. Secant pile walls and sheet piling systems are two good ...

Introduction

There is a very large difference in the price and operating economics of aircraft and this is only one aspect of several important factors that are absolutely vital for fleet planning. “Fleet commonality” and costs associated with it must be considered very carefully to obtain a better economic viewpoint of the way that cost effectiveness will impact the operations and eventual survival of the airline from an all encompassing point of view. Some carriers chose to have only a single type of aircraft for their airlines while others usually chose two or more types of aircraft to offer diversified services for ...

One of the major legislations in the field of aviation includes the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. This act focused on defining the role of Civil Aeronautics Board (CBA) in the economic regulation of airline industry. The act removed all the price, market entry and route control restrictions over the airlines that were applied by the Government. With this act in practice, most of the airlines struggled economically and some even got bankrupt. As new competition emerged in the airline market, direct flights were replaced by routing them through a single hub or center which lead to the hub-and-spoke model.

There are five phases of a terrorist attack. According to Sauter & Carafano (2005), they include the pre-incident phase, the initiation phase, the climax phase, the negotiation phase and the post-incident phase. The pre-incident phase is the stage whereby the terrorist leaders decide on the type of operation to undertake. Thus, it involves the selection or the identification of the target. At this stage, the terrorist comes up with a number of potential targets. This is based on extensive intelligence and surveillance. For example, the selected targets for the 9/11 attack were the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the Capitol ...

Distribution channel can be defined as a structure of intermediaries, which can be both intra-company units and extra-company agents, through which a product is marketed (London, 2008). The design of distribution channels as well as the number of intermediaries involved largely depend on the strategic needs of the company and on the kind of industry it operates in. The example of automobile, aircraft and fashion industries could help to understand the differences between the channels.

Big aircraft industry has very few players both on the supply and the demand sides. Therefore, the most effective way to organize distribution is directly, based ...

The glider designs of George Cayley and Otto Lilienthal were a far cry from the technological sophistication of space flight, and 19th-century designs established basic principles still present in the design of the space shuttle. Mechanization, which started with the Wright brothers, powered flight, giving substance to the age-old human dream of manned flight. War and the onset of commercial flight produced massive improvements in aeronautical design and logistical advances. In the modern era, the very concept of flight has taken mankind into space and inspired plans for manned space travel.
