Abstract: A method includes acquiring starting position information of moving bodies; acquiring destination position information of movement destinations; acquiring path information indicating paths on which the moving bodies can move; calculating, for each moving body, a minimum movement amount required for the moving body to move on a path from the starting position to each movement destination, based on the starting position information, the destination position information, and the path information; allocating a movement destination not allocated to any moving body to a moving body that has a minimum movement amount being the smallest of the minimum movement amounts and that has no allocation of any movement destination; further allocating, when there is a movement destination not allocated to the moving body on a movement route, the not-allocated movement destination to the allocated moving body; and determining movement routes of the moving bodies based on the allocation.

Abstract: A fence 30A is installed on an inner surface 21a of a door 20A on the side which faces a landing gear bay 15, the fence 30A rising inwardly of the airframe from the inner surface 21a. When the door 20A opens outwardly of an airframe due to a pressure difference between the side of an outer surface 21c of the door 20A and the side of an inner surface 21a facing inner part of the landing gear bay 15 during a flight of an aircraft 10, the fence 30A closes a gap between the door 20A and an opening 15a of the landing gear bay 15, and thereby prevents air from flowing into the landing gear bay 15 through the gap.

Abstract: An aircraft door 18 which closes an opening of a storage space 16 for storing a RAT 13 as an accessory and which is opened in association with deployment of the RAT 13 from the storage space 16, the door including: a door body 20 that opens and closes the opening, and whose front surface faces an outside and whose rear surface faces the storage space 16 in a closed state; and a fence 24 that rises from the rear surface of the door body 20.
