Solution of the Young-Laplace equation for three particles
(Massey University, 2003)
This paper presents the solution to the liquid bridge profile formed between three equally
sized spherical primary particles. The particles are equally separated, with sphere centres
located on the vertices of an equilateral ...
PC-based aviation training devices (PCATDs): research, development and certification
(Massey University, 2011)
This paper examines the development of two PCATD’s (one
helicopter, one fixed-wing) and their eventual certification by CAA.
Certification has demonstrated the potential these devices have for aviation
training in New ...
Pilots’ cognition of airport movement area guidance signs
(2010)
Movement Area Guidance Signs (MAGS) are designed to assist pilots when they
manoeuvre or taxi an aircraft on the airport prior to take-off and after landing. MAGS are
standardized by ICAO and are installed on most major ...
A pilot test of the effect of mild-hypoxia on unrealistically optimistic risk judgements
(2010)
Although hypoxia is believed to occur above altitudes of 10,000 ft, some have
suggested that effects may occur at lower altitudes. This pilot study explored risk
judgments under conditions of mild hypoxia (simulated ...
New technologies in general aviation
(2010)

A convenient regression formula for predicting Skytrax’s Official World Airport Star ratings
(2011)
Skytrax audits and ranks airports internationally in its yearly
‘Official World Airport Star Ranking’. Unfortunately, its activity is severely
restricted, at most covering just 3% of those airports listed by Skytrax ...
Analysis of a non-minimum phase acoustic beamformer
(Massey University, 2004)
The two input Griffiths-Jim acoustic beamformer is analysed in the frequency domain using
a Wiener type formulation. Unlike previous solutions the approach here is to look at the
problem of non-minimum phase acoustic ...
Net profitability of airline alliances, an empirical study
(2010)
This study examines the net return for airlines before and after joining an
alliance. The research database was compiled from ICAOData, and comprised 15
international airlines as subjects and their net financial results ...
