Depicts the major types of commercial aircraft flying today, describes the markings used by the world's major and minor airlines, and briefly discusses the background of each

This report describes the default Power Setting/Airspeed/Altitude Profiles for Civil Aircraft takeoffs and landings that are used in the USAF BASEOPS program. BASEOPS is a computerized operations input program for Airbase Noise analyses done under the AF AICUZ program. These takeoff and landing profiles were selected from the FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM) database 9 profiles. The most used stage length for each aircraft was selected to model each takeoff profile. The landing profiles were modeled directly from the INM database. Use of these profiles with the USAF NOISEMAP program should yield similar noise exposure values to the results obtain from the FAA INM program. Keywords: Tables data; Commercial aircraft; Aircraft noise. (kr).

Discusses the histories and fleets of the world's airlines and describes the development of the major commercial airplanes
