From the Paper
"Scientists and researchers are continually searching for new technologies for the future, and jet engine design is no exception to this search. New jet engine technologies are in various stages of research and design today, and modern aviation can look forward to many innovations that will move people and freight farther, faster, and with less jet noise in the future. NASA and the Air Force are two governmental agencies that are conducting research on how to improve jet engine technologies, but private enterprise is also looking at ways to improve the technology."

Abstract
This paper presents an evaluation of the Boeing company. The paper analyzes the company's fundamentals and the performance of comparables, as well as market performance. As well, the paper provides a projection of future revenues along with an estimation of the cost of capital with which Boeing produces its airplanes. The analysis takes into account all four areas of Boeing's production: Commercial Airplanes, Military Aircraft and Missile Systems, Space and Communications and Boeing Capital Corporation.
From the Paper
"Despite the predictions of nay-sayers, Boeing provides a great amount of stability to investors. Based on the prospective cash flows, which can easily be predicted as orders for new construction are signed years in advance, Boeing has a stable future. However, the prospect of new wars should be considered in the context of a scenario analysis. In the case that America commits itself to a series of wars that limit the ability of the commercial economy to support international travel, Boeing?s production of commercial jets will suffer at the same time that it gains new contracts for military aircraft and weapons."

Abstract
After the devastating effects of September 11th, airline and airport security are paramount to most American travelers. The paper begins with a brief history of aviation security before examining what the American government is doing to enhance security today. The paper examines what the Federal Grant Program to Strengthen Aircraft Security entails and addresses additional changes such as the take-over of airport security by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
From the Paper
"So why was airport security so poor and why has it been under constant scrutiny by the public and the FAA? Even before the terrorist attacks on September 11th, the airport security industry was troubled. Airport security companies were forced to work under a vicious cycle of economic forces that it could not control. Airlines, in order to save money, have commonly gone with the lowest bidder. In order to win these contracts, security companies paid a lower wage to its employees. Sometimes the old adage of you get what you pay for is true. Security staff workers at airports received little training and had limited backgrounds in the field of security. Most had no security background at all. (Boyne) This type of inert protection may have worked well in the 1970?s when threat of a non-violent, non-suicidal hijacker with a metal weapon was involved."

A paper discussing laws and regulations pertaining to helicopter noise abatement.

Abstract
Today, with every television news station, radio station, police department, traffic reporter, life-flight rescue and emergency units circling above, helicopter roter sounds have become an annoyance to the public. The paper shows that this has led to an increase in local restrictions and tighter certification standards, forcing manufacturers to seek new technology for sound abatement. The paper discusses the three noise categories and modern noise reduction technologies.
From the Paper
"Helicopter noise reduction has become so important to rotorcraft manufacturers that competition has ignited advertising campaign wars with each claiming one or more of their models to be the quietest in the industry (Kernstock 1999). he competition is so great in many cases that many helicopters are ?within a tenth of a decibel of each other ? far below human hearing thresholds? (Kernstock 1999). This advent of low-noise technology has created two classifications of rotorcraft, the new quiet crafts that meet new regulations and the older noisy ones that continue to operate under grand-fathering clauses yet may be prevented from being introduced into new markets (Kernstock 1999). Moreover, as anti-noise regulations increase, the older grand-fathered craft could eventually become prohibited in many areas, causing serious consequences for many operators who cannot afford the newer models (Kernstock 1999)."

From the Paper
"Moving into the twenty-first century, commercial aviation has been on a steady decline. Profits have dried up and overall passenger travel miles are down. To make matters worse, the lingering effects of September 11, 2001 have almost completely ruined the entire commercial aviation industry. United Airlines is in the brink of nearly shutting its doors forever. American Airlines, Continental, Delta, US Airways, American West and Northwest all are experiencing their worst financial difficulties in their corporate histories."

Armed Commercial Airline Pilots, 2002.
An opinion paper arguing for commercial pilots to be armed to assist in preventing terrorist attacks.
1,926 words (approx. 7.7 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 61.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper argues for the institution of commercial pilots carrying arms. It shows that since the 9/11 attacks, people willing to fly on commercial airlines have drastically decreased. It argues that in order for the airline industry to be able to regain these figures and ensure passengers and crew that the skies are indeed friendly, commercial airline pilots need to be able to carry weapons, or have access to a weapon within the cockpit.
From the Paper
"Airlines have undertaken various methods to ensure the cockpit is safe from any hijacker. These measures have included barring the cockpit and making it impenetrable to a terrorist on-board. While this is a positive first step, it does not relieve travelers of their worries, and in fact, alienates crew and passengers from the pilots. This kind of alienation does not increase the likelihood of someone choosing to fly over taking the train. It only sends out a subliminal message to passengers that flying is still dangerous because of the probability of a terrorist attack on a plane."

Abstract
Misplaced luggage is a significant problem in the airline industry. While there are companies in the industry providing a misplaced luggage delivery service, this paper shows that there exists an opportunity for Gate Safe to enter the market because these companies do not have the professionalism airlines require. The paper looks at the current marketing situation of the company, performs a SWOT analysis and then suggests action programs to assist the company in its future marketing campaigns. The paper includes tables.
From the Paper
"The total number of consumers arriving at LAX is predicted to be about 30 million. This is based on 2000 and 2001 figures, both with total arrivals of just over 30 million (LAWA). The figure for lost luggage on airlines is around four per 1000 passengers. Based on this, the total number of lost luggage items at LAX can be expected to be about 120,000 per year. For the first year, Gate Safe is not expected to manage luggage delivery for all airlines. The prediction is that it will gain accounts that cover 10 percent of passengers. This means Gate Safe will deliver 12,000 luggage items in the first year."
