Aerodynamic parameters from distributed heterogeneous CNT hair sensors with a feedforward neural network.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Distributed arrays of artificial hair sensors have bio-like sensing capabilities to obtain spatial and temporal surface flow information which is an important aspect of an effective fly-by-feel system. The spatiotemporal surface flow measurement enab...

Towards Microscale Flight: Fabrication, Stability Analysis, and Initial Flight Experiments for 300 μm × 300 μm × 1.5 μm Sized Untethered MEMS Microfliers.

IEEE transactions on nanobioscience
This paper presents modeling, designs, and initial experimental results demonstrating successful untethered microscale flight of stress-engineered microscale structures propelled by thermal forces. These MEMS Microfliers are 300 μm×300 μm×1.5 μm in s...

USS-Net: A neural network-based model for assisting flight route scheduling.

PloS one
Air traffic congestion-induced flight accidents pose a significant challenge in the aviation sector. Currently, aviation navigation systems primarily rely on GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) to track aircraft, yet they lack the capability to...

Rapid assessment of cosmic radiation exposure in aviation based on BP neural network method.

Radiation protection dosimetry
Cosmic radiation exposure is one of the important health concerns for aircrews. In this work, we constructed a back propagation neural network model for the real-time and rapid assessment of cosmic radiation exposure to the public in aviation. The mu...

Rhabdomyolysis in a Civil Aviation Pilot.

Aerospace medicine and human performance
Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially fatal disease caused by trauma, infections, and toxins. Rhabdomyolysis has not been reported in Chinese civil aircrew, but in our case report a male civil copilot contracted rhabdomyolysis after excessive exercise, sh...

Limits on transfer learning from photographic image data to X-ray threat detection.

Journal of X-ray science and technology
BACKGROUND: X-ray imaging is a crucial and ubiquitous tool for detecting threats to transport security, but interpretation of the images presents a logistical bottleneck. Recent advances in Deep Learning image classification offer hope of improving t...

Fruit fly scale robots can hover longer with flapping wings than with spinning wings.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Hovering flies generate exceptionally high lift, because their wings generate a stable leading edge vortex. Micro flying robots with a similar wing design can generate similar high lift by either flapping or spinning their wings. While it requires le...

Lack of international uniformity in assessing color vision deficiency in professional pilots.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
INTRODUCTION: Color is an important characteristic of the aviation environment. Pilots must rapidly and accurately differentiate and identify colors. The medical standards published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) require that...

Pilots with vasovagal syncope: fit to fly?

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
Two pilots who had experienced vasovagal syncope were grounded by the aeromedical service. Pilot A had experienced three episodes of syncope in medical settings, none during flight. Pilot B had experienced four episodes of syncope in emotional/medica...
