)One-way ANOVA: Using the data collected, an alpha of 0.05, and one-way ANOVA (assumingequal variances) test to compare means, the researchers rejected the null hypotheses (p-value<0.001) that the mean taxi-out (and taxi-in) time was same across the number of hotspotson small hub airports. Note – there were no small hub airports with 3 hotspots in the data. Taxi-out time: Using the Tukey HSD post hoc and 95% confidence, two significantly different groups (A and B) of small hub airports emerged. The mean taxi-out time was significantly different between the small hub airports in group A (0, 2, or 5 hotspots) and group B (1 or 4 hotspots). There was no significant difference within groups.

The use of ontology provides aframework enabling classification (e.g., alpha, beta, and gamma levels), consistency checks, andgap identification in Aerospace systems engineering [22, 23], supporting more structured andreliable processes in systems design and analysis [24, 25]. Similarly, structured visualizationframeworks in engineering education have demonstrated effectiveness in helping studentsunderstand complex physical concepts such as deformation and stress in aerospacestructures [26].Since the fundamental idea of ontology is to define relationships between entities in the form of“A is a B,” the ontology-based approach facilitates the modeling and analysis of relationshipsamong various systems

Two researchers read each transcript twice to verify accuracy. The first read helped theresearchers familiarize themselves with the participant responses. In the second read, theresearchers developed preliminary codes (Appendix B) based on the research questions. Thecodes were revised to develop the final themes. The following seven themes emerged from thecoding process.Theme 1. Motivation for pursuing aviation as a career Motivation for

discussed above, a selection of B, C, and D motors were tested as possiblecandidates. After testing in the field, the Estes C5 motor was determined to be the best fit for thecourse. This was mainly due to its unique thrust curve (Figure 4).The thrust curve in Figure 4 displays a graph of thrust vs time. To overcome the limitations of aheavy rocket takeoff, we looked for engines with a high thrust in the beginning that would ensurea safe takeoff (if the rocket comes off the rail slowly, it is unstable). What also needs to beconsidered is the delay charge (time between thrust and parachute deployment). Afterconsidering the range of payload mass for the rocket, the optimal delay charge for all rockets wasthe best at around 3 seconds, therefore we use

The ampere-hour (Ah) rating of these batteries can vary from a few tens toseveral hundred Ah. The values can vary from one aircraft to another depending on the aircraft'srequirements. These higher voltages require additional personal protection equipment to handlethe equipment. OSHA 1910 includes requirements for those working with high voltages [11].These requirements include the following: a. 1910.269: If the voltage is more than 600v there should be at least two employees present. b. 1910.269: The technician

]. Efforts to better understand andreduce airport taxi times may potentially improve airport capacity and reduce fuel usage, costs,and emissions. Airport Surface Detection Equipment, Model X (ASDE-X) is a surveillancesystem that provides location and movement information of aircraft and vehicles on the airport toair traffic controllers [9]. ASDE-X was developed to reduce the Category A and B runwayincursions at airports by providing continuous information of aircraft and vehicle location onairport movement areas. This equipment was implemented at 35 major U.S. airports [9].The FAA defines U.S. airports as Large, Medium, Small, and Non hub airports. In National Planof Integrated Airport System (NPIAS), the Appendix A: List of NPIAS Airports provides
