Ames Aeronautics Technical Seminar

"Analyzing Future Concepts for Managing Air Traffic with the Airspace Concept Evaluation System"

Presented by Dr. Robert Windhorst on March 27, 2008 at Ames Research Center. 2 p.m., N-245 Auditorium.

The Airspace Concept Evaluation System (ACES) is a computer program designed to perform fast-time, gate-to-gate simulations of the United States air transportation system. ACES is used for developing new concepts and technologies and analyzing their contributions toward the goals of accommodating future growth of operations, reducing flight transit times, increasing predictability of arrival times, and minimizing the impact of weather and other disruptions. Windhorst will present the program design, validation study and concept analyses for ACES.
