      <title>Aircraft Jet Blast Estimation Tool</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/1645877</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Jet blast at and near airports poses a risk in areas where aircraft are operating in proximity to vehicles, equipment, employees, passengers, and the public (e.g., aprons, near construction sites, adjoining public areas).  Incorporating jet blast assessment in the design and layout of these areas would enhance safety, but literature and data on jet blast exposure are limited, and little guidance has been developed on jet blast hazard assessment.  Research is needed to develop a tool to help practitioners improve their estimates of jet blast exposure based on local parameters.

The objective of this research is to develop a jet blast estimation tool and accompanying user guide.  ]]></description>

      <title>Airborne Collision Severity Evaluation - Engine Ingestion</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/1562138</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The research goal for this project is to better understand the interaction of a fan and UAV during an ingestion scenario. The objectives of this research are to: (i) create a generic high bypass ratio fan model that has features that are representative of a fan in a modern engine typically found on a large commercial transport; (ii) develop a component and full scale validated model of a quadcopter UAV (initially validated critical components in the first phase of the airborne collision research at different conditions) at the conditions of the ingestion event; and (iii) simulate various ingestion events to understand the sensitivity of a collision to various parameters of the ingestion.]]></description>

      <title>Project 32 - End-Around Taxiway (EAT) Optimization</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/1364635</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Concerns about the aviation's environmental impact have prompted research efforts around the world. Much of this research has focused on changes to future aircraft and engine designs: although these hold the prospect of significant environmental impact reductions on a per flight basis, it will take a long time for them to be developed and propagate through the operational fleet in sufficient numbers to have a significant impact on overall emission levels. Until then, strategies that reduce the environmental impacts of existing aircraft are needed. Therefore, there is a need to identify and evaluate ways to reduce the environmental impacts of aviation in the near term. Such changes would involve minor adjustments to operating procedures or limited equipment/infrastructure changes. Several potential approaches have been suggested and investigated in various depths. For example, Continuous Descent Approaches (PARTNER Project 4) have been investigated extensively through field trials and show notable environmental impact reduction. In contrast, work on advanced surface movement optimization (PARTNER Project 21) is still largely in the research stage, while other possible changes have yet to be fully defined, let alone studied in any significant depth. Project 32 will systematically evaluate and rank all the potential near-term operational changes against a common set of environmental impact and feasibility criteria, and hence make it possible to determine the relative potential of the various options and to understand which ones should be given priority.]]></description>
