  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AIRLINE FLEET RETIREMENT PREDICTION
    Publication number: 20150149234
    Abstract: Systems and methods for airline fleet retirement prediction are provided. One methods includes obtaining market information for the airline that defines at least one market for the airline, determining a plurality of aircraft types (priority groupings) for the airline within the at least one market to define an airline fleet model, and determining deployment priorities for the plurality of aircraft types within the at least market. The method further includes developing one or more operational models using at least one of airline operational data or airline fleet data for the plurality of aircraft types and determining aircraft retirement prediction data for the airline using the airline fleet model and the one or more operational models developed for the airline.

  • Method and apparatus for suppressing diesel engine emissions
    Publication number: 20040103875
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling fuel injection timing in a compression ignition engine is provided. The method includes monitoring a position of a piston reciprocating in a cylinder between a top dead center (TDC) position and a bottom dead center (BDC) position and injecting a predetermined quantity of fuel into the cylinder when the piston is at least one of reciprocating from said TDC toward BDC during an intake stroke and at BDC reciprocating toward TDC during a compression stroke.
