In case anyone is wondering why there is nothing on the above. it's probably because that assignment was done before my laptop crashed
Do your own research. this place is only meant to serve as a reference, not a one-stop centre

General Electric: Paths of Flight
Ben: i got this tweet about some interesting stuff General Electric has that is related to aviation. Check out the full site!
Watch and enjoy. GE has put together an amazing time-lapse video of aircraft arriving and departing from various airports.
The clip is actually marketing effort to show off what the company does – designing flight paths and advanced aircraft systems to ensure safe landing and take-off.
Cinematographers for GE captured airplanes landing in a precisely orchestrated order using the company's new Required Navigation Performance (RNP) system and combined them in one shot. It's like watching the game Flight Control in real life, but with more accuracy. GE's attempting to use on-board navigation instead of ground-based radar beacons to better choreograph the landing of commercial aircraft. The goal is to reduce fuel usage, shorten flights, and lower the noise from landing aircraft by shortening the routes. It's pretty cool.
According to GE, there are 5,000 planes in the sky every hour, 50,000 operating every day, and 621 million people flying yearly. The filmmakers pointed out they had to take 13 flights and wear four security badges to get this film made.
Segment 1: Paths of Flight showcasing the future of flight path planning is Required Navigation Performance (RNP)

See Also:
Airplanes waste a lot of fuel and emit loads of CO2 during the last part of the flight - the landing. The answer could be in using more efficient ways to plan descents.

Segment 2: Test your plane
an educational flash-based plane builder that illustrates and explains the interaction of the 4 forces of flight depending on your design.
