Aviation research, sourced & cited.
Curated index of aviation-relevant research from NASA NTRS, NTSB safety studies, FAA CAMI, and academic sources. Every record links back to its original — we don't host PDFs, we describe each paper and credit the authors. Built for cross-link with the rest of Atlas: search by topic, drill into a CFR section or airframe and see the research that bears on it.

Informing Rodent Behavior in Space: Gene Expression and Hyper-Emotionality Following Prenatal Stress
As space exploration pushes our boundaries further away from Earth and for longer durations, we will inevitably require the use of multi-generational studies to continue our expansion.

Validating and Verifying Biomathematical Models of Human Fatigue
Airline pilots experience acute and chronic sleep deprivation, sleep inertia, and circadian desynchrony due to the need to schedule flight operations around the clock.

Structural Diversity in the Inner Ear of Teleost Fishes: Implications for Connections to the Mauthner Cell
A body of literature suggests that the Mauthner cell startle response can be elicited by stimulation of the ear. While we know that there are projections to the M-cell from the ear, the specific endorgan(s) of the ear pr…

Age, splanchnic vasoconstriction, and heat stress during tilting
During upright tilting, blood is translocated to the dependent veins of the legs and compensatory circulatory adjustments are necessary to maintain arterial pressure.
