"Many people are enamored of the idea of deregulation as a way to counter the growth of government and the perception that government is wasteful, intrusive, and inefficient. Deregulation was touted as a cure-all for Big Government during the Reagan administration, though one of the major acts of deregulation took place prior to that during the Carter administration with deregulation of the airline industry. Deregulation has also been instituted for other industries, such as finance and communications, and it has been found not to work as intended. In the deregulated environment, the consumer feels less protected and less safe. What may have been intended as a means of simplifying the business environment usually complicates it, as has happened with deregulation of the communications industries, and the consumer is left feeling confused by the change."

"Public Relations Issues: New Market Development in the United States by Foreign Airlines
Introduction
This research examines public relations issues involved in the development of new markets in the United States by foreign airlines. Public relations objectives within this context are not limited to potential consumers of airline services. As the opportunity to develop mew markets in the United States is largely controlled by bilateral negotiations for landing rights between the United States federal government and foreign governments, public relations objectives for foreign airlines desiring to develop new markets in the United States also are directed at American policy makers at the federal level, and at..."

"The Air Traffic Control System
The responsibilities of air traffic control are varied and complex. In addition coordinating air traffic flow, they also provide traffic advisories and weather information. In recent years, considerable effort has been focused on upgrading the air traffic control system in the United States. The National Airspace System Plan (NASP) will replace 1960s vintage equipment with new technologies, and also streamline control operations. Moreover, the plan's automated systems will rely heavily on space for both communication and navigation. The NASP promises to set the standard for air traffic control.
Perhaps the primary challenge for air traffic control (ATC) is to keep up with the ever increasing demand on airspace. Between 1980 and 1987, the number of people travelling by air in..."

"Gulfstream V
The Gulfstream aircraft were originally designed and manufactured by the Grumman Corporation. Following World War II, Grumman recognized the need for corporate aircraft. Gulfstreams typically seat from 10 to 16 passengers. Like Grumman's fighter aircraft, the Gulfstreams not only possess state of the art technology, but are engineered to look tough as well. The latest addition to the aircraft's lineage is the Gulfstream V. The jet represents a significant technological improvement over the Gulfstream IV. In particular, the plane's range has been extended considerably. This feature, and others, should make the jet highly marketable. It is hoped that the Gulfstream V will reaffirm Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation's dominant position in the large.business.jet market. "

"Introduction
The Boeing Company is the world's largest manufacturer of commercial jets; it also produces military aircraft and missiles. It developed a large backlog in the early 1990s built on the strength of its commercial transport orders. It had particular success with its 737 jet introduced in the 1960s, and the industry is anxiously awaiting the introduction of the 777 jet, expected in the mid-1990s. The 777 is a joint project with Mitsubishi.
Boeing's success is due in part to the industry itself: the commercial airplane industry has recently experienced large growth. However, Boeing's primary American competitor, McDonnell Douglas, has not enjoyed the same financial success that Boeing has during the same period, and so Boeing's success must also be..."

" Aircraft Interior Lighting Systems
The primary goal of any aircraft interior lighting system is to provide the aviator with adequate visual performance. Present cockpit designs are currently undergoing rapid change. Various sophisticated technological systems are simultaneously attaining a state of maturation. Such advances as night vision goggles and the glass cockpit will require significant future innovation in cockpit lighting strategies.
There are two different dimensions to aircraft interior lighting. These comprise the micro and the macro aspects. Micro level concerns involve, for example, the following: individual lighting requirements, lighting design options, user technique, and lighting system evaluation. In contrast, the macro aspect relates to system design considerations. These may include.."

From the Paper
" The U.S. airline industry was deregulated de facto by the policies of the Civil Aeronautics Board from 1976 to 1978, and, subsequently, de jure by Congress with the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, based on the rationale that market forces would provide the impetus for increased and sustained competition between carriers, which would further translate into vastly improved quality and quantity of service for the consumer, and at significantly lower cost--a process known as contestability theory. According to Borenstein, for many economists, however, deregulation was simply the rejection of some 50 years of "incredibly inefficient regulation" (53).
The Carter administration actively promoted the deregulation of the airline industry as it had the trucking industry and financial institutions. The Reagan administration's approach to.."

"Introduction
Companies which operate outside of monopolistic environments are faced with the decision whether to compete or collaborate with other companies within their industry. Strict competition can make the successful companies stronger as they develop technologies and procedures that edge out the competition. Collaboration can make the collaborative partners stronger when considered against the industry as a whole, although the individual partners may be individually weaker as a result of the collaboration.
The airplane manufacturing industry is one international industry where competitive and collaborative strategies have been pursued, particularly since World War II. This industry is characterized by high-technology, high-costs and high-risk, and.."

"The Flying Automobile: A Technological Forecast
Perhaps the simplest definition of the term "technology" is just "applied science." Technology tends to relate more to practical experience rather than scientific theory. A technological forecast, therefore, involves making predictions about future machines, procedures, etc. A variety of methods exist which can be applied towards this end. These include techniques such as the use of scenarios, science fiction, extrapolation, intuition, Delphi forecasting, substitution, and historical analogy. Paul Moller employs some of these methods when he describes the potential of his innovative vehicle, the "volantor." His sales pitch is very strong. Regardless though, the concept of a "flying car" has been around for a long time. Moreover, Paul Moller and his ideas seem to relate more to the.."

"Rocket Planes: The X.Series
This century has seen dramatic advances in aviation. The airplane has evolved in a continuous progression towards designs that fly higher, farther, and faster. At the close of World War II, aeronautical engineers had yet to build planes capable of exceeding the speed of sound. The technological innovations employed in the X.series rocket planes, however, not only conquered sound barrier, but achieved a great deal as well.
During World War II, combat pilots making power dives found that their planes began buffeting and their controls began to freeze up as they approached the speed of sound (Josephy, Jr. 383). This problem arose because of the compressibility of air. When a plane flies at that speed (approximately 760 miles per hour at sea level or Mach 1.0), the air particles ahead do not.."

"Introduction
The deregulation of the airline industry in 1978 came about after decades of government imposed regulation that had been part of the airline industry since its inception. The deregulatory effort was part of a larger concern with government regulation in general and with controversies about perceived negative effects on competition in the airline industry of government regulation, which was seen as a growing thicket of regulations and controls that stifled competitive impulses and regulated nearly every aspect of the industry and its operations. Some saw this as a form of government micromanaging that was taking a toll, and deregulation was seen as a way of giving the industry over to those who had the highest stake in seeing it run properly, efficiently, and competitively--the airlines themselves."

From the Paper
"Airline security has been of growing importance for several decades as world tensions have led to terrorist acts, hijackings, and other attacks on travelers as a way of making a political statement. The regulations that are now in place have been evolved over time in the face of a number of tragedies brought about by ignorance of the dangers, lax security measures, and similar factors. From the point of view of the airlines, safety concerns also lead to concerns over issues of liability in cases where security measures may fail. The issue is whether the security measures being implemented by the U.S. aviation industry are sufficient to avoid liability for damages caused to air travelers by terrorist acts.
The danger of terrorist attack is such that the legislature has responded with a number of regulations for airline security..."

From the Paper
"U.S. strategic air operations played a vital role in the success of the Allies in the Pacific arena during World War II. For example, Allied air power was a factor in the systematic recapture of the islands which had been taken by the Japanese. In addition, once bases were established on these islands, U.S. air forces were exploited for the purpose of conducting massive bombing raids on mainland Japan. This paper will show that this strategic use of air power was completely effective in terms of attaining U.S. objectives in the Pacific. The Fabyanic framework will be used for analysis of the air strategy, and Clausewitz's nine principles of war will be used for assessing that strategy.
The background of the Pacific conflict can be traced to the early 1930's, when Japan began conquering its neighboring countries. In 1931, Japanese troops invaded the Manchurian..."

From the Paper
"The United States is facing a downsizing effort to reduce the size of the military and the size of the military budget, which extends as well to defense projects. Southern California has long been the beneficiary of a large portion of that defense budget through the various defense contractors in the region, and the reductions in military spending are certain to have an effect on the defense industry in the Los Angeles region, an effect that will mean lost jobs, reduced expenditures, and reduced tax revenues for municipalities in the area. An examination of the issue should show the types of changes that can be expected for the defense industry in Los Angeles.
In truth, the defense industry in Los Angeles has been working at a reduced capacity for some time already. In 1986, the California aerospace industry generated between $97 billion and ..."

"The regulation of foreign airlines in the United States is governed by international agreements indicating how foreign airlines are to be treated at airports and in airspace throughout the world. Several important international agreements have been passed and implemented to assure that international air travel takes place in a regular manner, following specific rules, and with a minimum of interference. The rules passed and the manner in which these rules have been applied have changed over the years, and the United States has altered its view as to how international regulations should be enforced.
There is no completely liberal regime for air services in the world today:
A genuinely liberal regime for air services would permit firms to enter and exit markets without government ..."
