Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the growth of the urban population, traffic congestion and air pollution become two major threats to economic development, so we put our hope on urban air transportation and further explore the possibility of it. Compared with traditional transportation, urban air transportation has more potential. At the same time, with the development of 5G and 6G, the existing technologies will be further strengthened, and remote control will be realized through various platforms, bringing convenience to people’s lives.

In this Special Issue on “Air Traffic and Applications of Aerodynamics”, we are aiming to include all the aspects of recent air traffic technologies, including but not limited to aerodynamics, air transport, airflow studies, and so on. If you are interested in this topic and would like to share your work with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Rising air travel demand, airport capacity issues, and schedule disruptions form part of the challenges that aviation stakeholders have to face in the upcoming decades. Minimizing ground times is one of their recent objectives as extended ground times induce operational, economic, and environmental risks. The flow of ground operations has a high impact on the overall air transportation system. Therefore, the impact and risks of extended ground times in passenger air transport were thoroughly compared, weighed, and compared based on pre-selected individual literature sources. Several studies deliver solution approaches to reduce ground times. The turnaround especially is a key element of any flight operation and impacts the competitive advantage of airlines and airports. Next to infrastructural changes, technological advancements, and operational performance improvements, the cooperation of stakeholders is a measure to shorten ground times. Special focus lies on the improvement of boarding procedures. They are essential for passenger air transport and reducing ground times. Full article
