The study period is from 2004 to 2020. The study used a qualitative instrumental case study research approach. The data gathered for the study was examined by document analysis. The study found that the development of the low-cost carriers (LCCs) share of Australia’s annual export and import air freight markets occurred in three distinct phases. In the initial phase, 2004-2005, the market was served by just one low-cost carrier (LCC) Pacific Blue Airlines, who did not transport any export or import air freight in 2004. In 2005, the airline made a strategic policy decision to transport air freight. Phase 2 saw the inception of international services by Jetstar Airways in 2006. Jetstar Airways immediately gained import and export air freight traffic. The third phases took place from 2007 to 2020, when the major Asia-based low-cost carriers entered the market, starting with AirAsia-X in 2007. The low-cost carriers (LCCs) annual air freight market growth rates oscillated substantially over the study period, particularly for export air freight traffic. Despite the strong growth, the low-cost carriers (LCCs) annual market export and import air freight shares are considerably lower than those of the dedicated all-cargo carriers and full-service networks carriers (FSNCs).","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89651249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this reason, the problem of delivering the products to the consumer at the right place and time has become indispensable to survive in the global market and has brought the logistics factor to the fore. One of these logistics activities, the transportation sector, ensures that human needs are met at the desired place and on time. It has become essential to deliver products to target markets faster and safer than their competitors, and airplanes have been used in cargo and passenger transportation. The rapid technological change has also led to aircraft development used in cargo transportation. Thus, air cargo transportation, which is less risky and faster than other transportation modes, has come to the fore in time-bound and valuable goods. The main purpose of this study, which is carried out with the qualitative research method, is to determine and evaluate the effects of air cargo transportation on global competitiveness. In the study, firstly, the concept of air cargo transportation tried to be explained. Then, the literature review created the background of the study. In this context, the development process of air cargo transportation was discussed in terms of its historical, corporate, and economic development. Then, the types of aircraft used, airports, and cargo companies operating on a global scale, which are the elements of air cargo transportation, were examined. In addition to the high capacity and fuel efficiency produced by the current technology of the aircraft, the issue of further reduction of costs due to capacity increase by optimizing the loading problem has been mentioned. Finally, by analyzing the findings, the effects of air cargo transportation on global competitiveness were discussed and evaluated, and suggestions were made to increase this power. This article, which is a direct study on the effects of air cargo transportation on global competitiveness, is crucial as it will contribute to the literature.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84431723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method of this research is quantitative, data were collected through online questionnaires. The population and the sample of the research are consisted of the civilian pilots in Turkey. The questionnaires were applied to 75 pilots. In male pilots participating in the study; The levels of \"Instrumental Use of Power\" and \"Legitimation of Power\", which are sub-dimensions of organizational power distance, are significantly higher than female pilots. In addition, it has been revealed that female pilots pay less attention to the judgments of others than male pilots. These results suggest that male pilots need more organizational power than female pilots. One of the results of the research is the strong positive relationship between the assertiveness level of the participants and \"Consent to Power\", which is one of the sub-dimensions of power distance; it is thought that this relationship stems from the social adaptation capacity of assertive individuals. The study also showed that the main factor determining the behavior of the employees is the organizational culture. Within this scope, sharing the accident reports of Turkish registered aircraft prepared by DGCA with researchers and institutions will contribute significantly to the need for resources.","PeriodicalId":86256,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of aviation medicine","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86687720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Foilsim data provided by NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and used by many researchers, especially in developing model airplanes, has been provided to use in aircraft wing shape optimization. Although Foilsim is a very useful simulation program for designers, it cannot be used effectively in optimization processes due to its web environment. Lift coefficient is needed for Lift equation in airfoil shape optimization. Lift coefficient depends on angle, camber, and thickness of airfoil Calculation of Lift coefficient is difficult and needs heavy mathematical equations or real experiments. By using Foilsim data and optimization algorithm (Artificial Neural Networks: ANN, Artificial Bee Colony: ABC), wing angle, camber and thickness values, which are difficult to determine and calculate, were estimated and comparative experiments of the values were made.

Presenteeism is a major safety-related issue and has been extensively studied in a variety of occupation groups. As a cross-sectional study, a self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data from ab-initio pilots. The participants assessed themselves on the Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6). Correlation analysis was performed to explore the association between organizational factors and presenteeism. Based on the findings, the prevalence of presenteeism was 29.1 percent among the ab-initio pilots (N=175). Furthermore, there was a strong association between training-related stress (p< 0.01) and presenteeism. The student pilots with presenteeism were found to make mistakes during flight. Better and effective supervision for ab-initio pilots was associated with lower levels of presenteeism, highlighting the need for a supportive and comfortable atmosphere in the flight deck in which ab-initio pilots may feel comfortable.
