A New Users Perspective of ERAU’s Hub UAV Simulator

Unmanned aero systems are being developed at a rapid pace, this short development cycle can lead to human factors issues that may not be revealed until the unit enters service. To identify these issues early, simulation is the key. Embry’s Hub, an unmanned platform simulator, introduces the new user to the complexities of operating these […]

Investigating the Trends of Transport Category Maintenance Operations and its Effect on Aircraft Safety and Security
