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.

Digital system bus integrity
This report summarizes and describes the results of a study of current or emerging multiplex data buses as applicable to digital flight systems, particularly with regard to civil aircraft.
- NASA NTRS 2018 CDMS Conference Paper
Windshear detection - Airborne system perspective
Functional requirements for airborne windshear detection and warning are discussed based on performance criteria of remote sensor devices such as Doppler radar, Doppler laser radar, and infrared radiometric techniques.
- NASA NTRS 2016 CDMS Conference Paper
An overview of the demonstration advanced avionics system guest pilot evaluation conducted at Ames Research Center
The guest pilot flight evaluation of the Demonstration Advanced Avionics System (DAAS) is discussed. The results are based on the fifty-nine questionnaires that were completed by the participants.
- NASA NTRS 2016 CDMS Conference Paper
The Two Modes of Visual Processing: Implications for Spatial Orientation
The roles of the focal and ambient visual systems in spatial orientation are discussed. The two modes are defined and compared. The contribution of each system is illustrated through examples such as spatial disorientati…
