Abstract
In this article, the writer introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of Very Light Jets (VLJ). Specifically, the paper discusses what this new class of planes is. The writer looks at what impact they could have on air travel in the United States. The writer notes that the VLJ is targeted primarily to smaller companies needing air travel, air taxi service operators, and higher income individuals tired of airline travel. The writer points out that some experts feel the VLJ may revolutionize the way many people travel by making commercial air travel obsolete. The writer concludes that it remains to be seen how the VLJ market will affect travel and transportation, but it seems poised to truly change the face of the way the world gets around in the skies.

The Players
The Impact of VLJs
From the Paper
"There are several key differences between the VLJs. First are foremost is cost. Their price range runs from under $1 million to around $3 million, while business-class jets can cost upwards of $45 million for long-range jets such as the Gulfstream 550. Even low-end business jets cost about twice as much as the VLJs. Second, they are lighter in weight than business jets, with a take-off weight of under 10,000 pounds, while business jets are all over 10,000 pounds take off weight. They also are much more cost-efficient than larger jets, so they give the promise of more profits for their owners. They can cruise higher and faster than propeller-driven aircraft, and while they do cost more than prop planes, such as the Cessna 175, they offer many more features, and so, could be extremely attractive to the owner-operator in addition to small jet taxi and other commercial services."

Abstract
This paper examines how the future for regional jet service in the United States and abroad appears to be very bright and how regional passenger jets, defined as jet planes seating between 25 and 110 passengers, are becoming increasingly popular alternatives to the turbo-prop ?puddle-jumper? aircraft businesspeople have come to associate with commuter flights in smaller markets. It provides an overview and background of regional jets, the associated cost factors and controversies, an assessment of the potential impact of the identified alternatives, and the sell-offs of regional carriers by the major carrier owners.
From the Paper
"As a result of their increasing popularity, regional jets have also created their share of controversies, including claims these types of aircraft are clogging the nation?s already stressed airports and issues concerning equitable pay rates for regional jet pilots compared to their mainstream aviation counterparts. ?Some say regional jets are jamming the system, but that's not true,? says Faye Malarkey, a legislative director for the Regional Airline Association (RAA). Rather, Malarkey says that regional jets are ?part of the solution? (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). Likewise, the President of the RAA, Deborah McElroy says, ?We think that they are making regional jets a scapegoat. That's not appropriate. regional jets are added because that's what the passengers want? (Arnoult, 2000, p. 67). "

Abstract
This paper examines the proposed reasoning behind the plans to build a stadium in New York, dubbed the "New York Sports and Convention Center," proposed financing for the project, and public opinion of the issue. Additionally, this paper examines ways in which the government responsible for the plan can build the stadium, while still keeping local residents and businesses content.
From the Paper
"When any new stadium is built in large cities across the nation, there are always two sides to the situation. Generally, politicians or businesses in the area want to increase revenue by the creation of a large stadium capable of accommodating many events, including sporting events, conventions, and trade shows. However, local businesses may fear the loss of their own revenue and local residents may oppose tax increases to fund the building, so may oppose the issue."

From the Paper
"Newspapers every day cover the same stories and do so with slightly different perspectives according to the specific views of the writers, the interests of the readers, and the traditions of the given newspaper. Even two papers in the same city may have different attitudes toward certain people, issues, or institutions, differences which can be discerned on close reading. Two stories from two different papers on the same sports team will serve to show how these differences may be manifested, referring to stories on the New York Jets in the New York Daily News and Newsday.
Rob Parker writes about the team in a column on the Sports Page in Newsday, a Long Island-based newspaper that at the time had just ceased publishing a New York edition of the paper because of excessive costs. Newsday is owned by the Los Angeles..."

Abstract
Jet lag is one of the most common problems among domestic and international air travelers, causing a variety of physical and mental problems. This paper looks at these problems and provides a detailed list of suggestions to help overcome or minimalize jet-lag. These include rest, sleep, noise limitation, avoidance of alcohol, drinking of water and exercise.
From the Paper
"Jet lag is a common problem among air travelers, often affecting as many as 94% of long distance travelers. The most common cause of jet lag is rapid transit across a variety of worldwide time zones. The more time zones a person crosses, the greater the disruption of the internal body clock, which governs temperature, heartbeat, blood pressure, and physiological patterns, often resulting in disorientation and mental and physical fatigue. It is also a well-known fact among frequent fliers that their resistance is lowered, making them more susceptible to colds, flu, and stomach upsets."

Abstract
This paper discusses Jet Li?s life, starting from his childhood where his interest in wu-shu began, until he emerged as a movie actor incorporating martial arts in his films, becoming both an acclaimed Hong Kong Asian and American actor. In addition to Li?s biography, this paper also discusses the psychological development of Li?s life from childhood to present life and how his life can be contextualized, based on Erik Erikson?s socio-emotional theory of human development.
From the Paper
"For many years, Asian actors have not been given enough opportunities to break into the entertainment industry in the United States, popularly called the Hollywood. Only few Asian actors have made it big in Hollywood, of which the famed martial arts master Bruce Lee is considered as the first Asian who brought fame in the Asian entertainment industry through his martial arts movies. Jackie Chan, similarly, shares Bruce Lee?s glory but in a different genre, where Chan uses martial arts not as a form of physical violence, but a form of art movement. Also, Chan?s movies are mostly humorous, illustrating Chan?s penchant for a feel-good movie for his audience."

Abstract
This paper provides an overview of how Jet Blue Airways exists in the current aviation market. The paper explains its marketing strategy, its customer service policy, and the technological advantages it possesses over its competitors.
From the Paper
"With the turn of the century, the situation in the world commercial travel market has been steadily declining for the airlines. The airlines are making less profit and the passengers are also traveling much less. This has affected the airlines, as they still have to meet the high costs of repaying the purchase costs of the planes and the lease costs at the airports. Along with that they also have to meet a high cost for the labor contracts. During the period of 1990-2000, the wages had been rising at a high rate, faster than the rise in air travel rates. Thus the growth in expense for the airlines was faster than the rise in fares and most of the world?s airlines are deep in the red and are approaching bankruptcy-seeking protection. On top of all these woes, the events of 9/11 have added to their problems."

From the Paper
"The technological breakthroughs of the 20th century have raised many questions regarding physiologic adaptation and environmental adversity. One such area of research involves high speed travel and its effect on biological rhythms. Multiple time zone transitions result in a phenomenon known as desynchronization, or "jet lag." This condition can have significant biological and behavioral consequences; it could even, possibly, represent a potential threat to aircrews involved in transmeridian flights.
The first pilot to experience jet.lag was Wily Post. In 1933, he described various physiological alterations incurred while crossing time zones during global flight. These changes resulted primarily from shifts in ... "

Abstract
For many years, the benefits of owning a private jet have been limited only to the largest companies and the wealthiest individuals. Private jets are expensive to purchase, require intensive (and costly) maintenance, and demand that highly skilled professionals be available to serve as crew.
From the Paper
"Introduction
For many years, the benefits of owning a private jet have been limited only to the largest companies and the wealthiest individuals. Private jets are expensive to purchase, require intensive (and costly) maintenance, and demand that highly skilled professionals be available to serve as crew. Despite these drawbacks, the advantages, such as having access to international and domestic travel without relying on commercial carriers' schedules, can be significant. In recent years, however, there has been a growing trend toward fractional ownership of aircraft. This approach (which is similar to time sharing) makes it possible for companies and individuals with more limited resources to have access to private jets than has been historically possible. This research focuses on the marketing of fractional ..."

Computer Technology, the Concorde Jet Liner, and Ethics, 2004.
A look at ethical considerations within the arena of technology and beyond.
1,964 words (approx. 7.9 pages), 11 sources, MLA, $ 62.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how issues of ethics in business practices in the age of increasing computer technology and the importance of managing information have come to the forefront of organizational management issues. It looks at how, in a society that now creates much of its wealth, not from hardwood products, or services, but from the use of information, the integrity of that information is imperative to the ongoing well-being of the organization. It discusses how managing ethics in the workplace holds tremendous benefit for leaders and managers and benefits both the moral and the practical factors, and how how computer ethics are constructed by the individual, but also adopted by society and the individual?s environment. It uses the example of the Concorde supersonic airliner to show how an entire area of ethical considerations exists outside the arena of technological and computer ethics, such as issues of the environment, the cost / benefit ratio of the supersonic travel, and the economics of Concorde?s high fuel usage when compared to other forms of transportation.
From the Paper
"The first areas shared by Concorde and the general field of computer technology are that of advancing expectations. The average desktop computer contains more computer power than the command module used on the Apollo 13 space mission. As computers evolve, and the prospect of AI is considered a possibility, ethical questions as to the expectations these advancements create begin to surface. Is it ethical for computer science to bring to the culture advancements which it is not ready to accept, or not fully equipped to manage? In light of the recent terrorist attacks, the issue of ?face recognition? surveillance equipment has been considered. In a country which honors freedom and independence, the idea of a large databank of information being collected and accessed regarding my personal life every time I walk through an airport is on the Orwellian side of acceptable."

From the Paper
"The original 747 was built in response to the Douglas Corporation's decision to significantly increase the number of passenger seats in the DC-8 during the mid-1960s. As Boeing began to build designs for a bigger jet, oversized military cargo planes were responsible for giving them their ground plan:
Although Boeing was still thinking about stretched versions of the 707 during 1965, the legacy of the military design studies obviously contributed to the rapid progress of the 747 design, once the company decided to go ahead with the project in 1966 (Bilstein, 1984, p. 262).
In contrast, the beginning of the 767 widebody jet was catalyzed by the aging of the airline industry's fleet of jets. By the end of the 1970s:
some 1,200 jet transports out of 4,800 in service outside of ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses the Comet jet airplane accidents of the early 1950?s, and the profound effects they had on certain aspects of our society. The author examines the various effects a technological disaster has on our lives and the world around us, as well as how our views towards the technology may be altered after a technological disaster.
From the Paper:
"By examining the jet aircraft industry, but in particular the British jet aircraft industry after the accidents, we are able to gain insight into what people?s conceptions were, and why certain events unfolded as they did. With any technological disaster, trust in the product is often lost very quickly, and various actions are often taken to try and restore this trust. By examining these actions we can better understand how many people felt about the technology after the disasters. Lastly, not all technological disasters have purely negative connotations. Much can be learned from technological accidents that eventually lead to important improvements in the technology. By examining one major technological failure and its various effects we can gain a better understanding of how we are affected by technology as well as how our views towards the technology may be altered."

Statistical Summary of Commercial Jet Aircraft Accidents
From the Paper
"Understanding the mean time between failure (MTBF) and the rate of failure of equipment in aircrafts in-depth can also be better modeled if history of the aircraft is known. Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) places great emphasis on analysis of historical data for identifying the schedule and planning the maintenance programs for any industry. As any computerized system offers the quickest and the most efficient manner of analyzing large quantities of data in the shortest possible time, any investment in the setting up of an on-line maintenance program monitoring system would prove to be beneficial for an aircraft operator. In addition, the connectivity that it provides would also help all other relevant interested parties in the process also monitor the aircraft as needed by law. The ability to replicate the functionality and simulate the actual operations and the subsequent maintenance requirements can also help decision makers identify problems and errors in the planning process."
