Special Concern

It is surely of the greatest importance that those engaged on the development of Civil Aircraft should give attention to all aspects of the economic operation of air transport and consider indirect operating costs and revenue, as well as the direct costs. This is no easy field of study and one may be accused of asking questions rather than providing answers. However, no discussion of short-haul transport can be complete without the fullest consideration of all aspects of airline cost.Although the airframe, engine and accessory manufacturing industries are primarily concerned with the provision of vehicles, systems and equipment for Civil operators, they are also closely concerned with the utilisation of equipment and with the scale and direction of the developments of air transport in the future. We therefore subject to continuous study all areas of potential air transport growth and, of these, the short-haul domain is now of special concern.

The continued expansion of air transport is bound up with its possibility of producing ever lower fares. Thus the future of both sides of industry depends on the success in this field. This paper notes some of the difficulties seen from the manufacturer's side in this rather inexact science. It is essentially a personal view not associated with any one Company's views, but based on some years of experience in the industry. It answers no questions, but is aimed rather at provoking discussions on some of the important issues, particularly those which tend to be taken for granted.It should be stated also at the outset that this paper is obviously affected by the current beleaguered state of the British airframe industry. There is nothing in it, however, which does not apply to any nation's airframe industry and it is not intended as criticism of the UK one. It is certainly not the intention to add to the volume of anti-British comment which is so valuable to our competition.

The Impact

The article outlines some human factors affecting the operation and safety of passenger air transport given the massive increase in the use of the VLA. Decrease of the impact of the CO2 world emissions is one of the key goals for the new aircraft design. The main wave is going to reduce the burned fuel. Therefore, the eco-efficiency engines combined with reasonable economic operation of the aircraft are very important from an aviation perspective. The prediction for the year 2030 says that about 90% of people, which will use long-haul flights to fly between big cities. So, the A380 was designed exactly for this time period, with a focus on the right capacity, right operating cost and right fuel burn per seat. There is no aircraft today with better fuel burn combined with eco-efficiency per seat, than the A380. The very large aircrafts (VLAs) are the future of the commercial passenger aviation. Operating cost versus safety or CO2 emissions versus increasing automation inside the new generation aircraft. Almost 80% of the world aircraft accidents are caused by human error based on wrong action, reaction or final decision of pilots, the catastrophic failures of aircraft systems, or air traffic control errors are not so frequent. So, we are at the beginning of a new age in passenger aviation and the role of the human factor is more important than ever.

The Future

Cultural studies is a future-oriented discipline, but it at best maintains tangential connections to futurism, a field of study devoted to the systematic study of the future. Why? This essay endeavors to answer that question. It explores how cultural studies has conceptualized ‘the future’ and identifies some of the limits of those conceptions. The article then speculates on what futurism and cultural studies might gain from more robust and purposeful integration.

En el presente artículo se concede atención al desarrollo de la producción historiográfica referente a la Orden de Calatrava en el ámbito castellanoleonés y en el periodo comprendido entre 1350 y 1500. En él se realiza un balance que permite conocer los vacíos informativos que todavía perviven dentro de este campo y las líneas de investigación que de cara al futuro se abren a los medievalistas. The present study focuses on the developments of the scholarship on the Military Order of Calatrava in the kingdom of Castile and Leon in the period between 1350 and 1500. It provides an assessment of current research which will identify the gaps of information that still persist within this field of study and the research strategies that these may provide to medievalists in the future.

This Afterword compares the articles in this issue of MIA to the ‘first wave’ of Australian internet historiography, a field of study established by Australian internet scholars around 2000. After identifying what is new in the present issue, I outline four paths that may be worth considering in the future: constituting the field based on shared theoretical and methodological reflections; using archived web material to a larger extent; participating in the shaping of a digital research infrastructure for internet studies; and increasing international research relations.

Market Requirement

Requirements fall into two categories: — (i) the demands of the market leading to a capacity requirement, which, dependent on the technical solutions, leads to a market requirement in terms of the number of aircraft. (ii) the technical requirements in terms of the vehicle characteristics required to provide the most competitive aircraft to achieve maximum market penetration. An appreciation of future civil requirements is presented as seen through the eyes of a project engineer rather than a market research economist. The title of the symposium suggests a focusing of attention on two main fields of air transport, namely, the successors to the supersonic long-range aircraft and the large subsonic short-range aircraft. It is, however, the intention to broaden the survey to cover the major areas of activity in civil aviation, since in many ways there may be inter-relations between the developments in different fields.
