This study systematically evaluates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reporting practices of European airline groups, covering both mandatory and voluntary key performance indicators (KPIs) under evolving regulatory frameworks. By analysing annual and sustainability reports from 16 major airline groups, …

Cold spray is an emerging technology that shows great promise for the repair of civil aircraft components. However, certification of such repairs requires a comprehensive evaluation of repair performance, including a detailed assessment of repair strength and the associated failure mechanisms. The present …

In dit onderzoek is verkend in hoeverre Aviation Labs bijdragen aan de ontwikkeling van zelfregulerende vaardigheden bij eerstejaars studenten van de opleiding Steward/Stewardess aan MBO College Airport. Vanuit theorieën over zelfregulatie zijn vijf Labs ontworpen waarin studenten, via projectgestuurd …

This article presents a Multiscale Modeling Framework for the prediction of the progressive damage and failure analysis of laminated composites structures reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). First, the modified Halpin-Tsai (H-T) model is employed to estimate the mechanical properties of CNT-reinforced …

The decarbonisation of the aviation industry requires strict regulation to align with the EU Green Deal, which aims to make the EU the world’s first climate-neutral region by 2050. EU regulations continuously evolve and impact the key performance indicators (KPIs) used to measure progress towards this …

Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) is a widely used inspection technique in the aerospace industry. Because of the aging aerospace sector, and because of the safety-criticality of the inspection, aerospace companies aim to automate (parts of this) inspection process to support inspectors. This paper …

The adoption of electric autonomous vehicles (EAVs) is set to revolutionize airport ground operations. Airports are increasingly developing new autonomous innovation strategies to meet sustainability goals and address future challenges, such as shifting labor markets, evolving working conditions, and …

Airports have undergone a significant digital evolution over the past decades, enhancing efficiency, effectiveness, and user-friendliness through various technological advancements. Initially, airports deployed basic IT solutions as support tools, but with the increasing integration of digital systems, …

This research examines the impact of transitioning to an autonomous operation on the airside of Schiphol airport, with a specific focus on emissions that affect both the environment and the staff working within airport premises. This study will explore current emissions from vehicles on Schiphol's airside, …

This study introduces a detailed method for analyzing the buckling behavior of laminated composite structures strengthened with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). We propose a multi-scale analysis that combines analytical and computational techniques to assess the mechanical performance of MWCNT-reinforced …
