Description
About Us or what we are about The five bodies in the header bar all have contributed to identifying aspects of the engineering problem described on this page and to arriving at the proposed solution it outlines. The overall problem - that at present no one knows enough about how aircraft wake vortices behave in various conditions - has significant consequences. Its solution should lead to safer air travel and to improved use of airport resources. The acoustic-imaging proposal presented here combines proven commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology with expertise in applying relevant algorithms provided by Bob Dougherty of OptiNav and with system integration by Microstar Laboratories under subcontract to Titan. Titan ordered the initial tests of this system at the request of Volpe - a division of the DOT - and NASA . NASA and the US Dept. of Transportation are exploring several research sensors for measuring wake vortices. See "Other Sensors". In flight, an aircraft creates a pair of counter-rotating vortices, spinning off each wingtip and extending back along the flight path in the sky.
