1. Analyse of the aircraft structure tests

   The aim goal of this theme is a finding the way how to establish the measurement uncertainty during the aircraft structure testing. The output of this work should be a methodology that shows how that uncertainty to establish on dependence of used equipment and type of the test. The part of this work will be to include all input influences that should appear during the tests. For the solving of the proposed dissertation work the Institute of the aircraft engineering has all material and equipment included mainly the Aircraft testing facility, that performing per year many tests that should be used for solving of this work. Is intended the student will be active with design and preparing the technical experiments.

2. Application of airplane lifecycle management system in design, manufacture and certification stages.

   Broad application of CAD, CAM and CAE tools during aircraft development and manufacture stages causes generation of big volume digital data. Diversity of the tools restricts possibility of effective communication between individual project partners. An application of strategy Product Life Management (PLM) is one from possibilities how to deal with this data and communication problems. This strategy is not yet effectively used in the Czech aircraft industry. PLM permits to base decision process on the latest complex information and to share and/or disseminate know-how. Study will be concentrated to the following fields: - Analysis of PLM application in the aircraft industry - PLM strategy application in design, computational and manufacturing stages of a small sport airplane - Description of parameters necessary for external communication using PLM strategy with the aim to increase certification process efficiency. - Risk analysis of PLM strategy application

3. Ecological aspects of civil air transport on airports

   At the present time the ecology of operation of civil airplanes takes on importance. Effort to suppress impacts of airplane operation on both human health and environment due to a great increase of air traffic remarkably strenghtened. This is important especially on airports and in their vicinity, where disproportion between the need of operation growth in the contrary of the decrease of its impact on environment and of land-use planning is substantial. Main objectives of this thesis are based on analysis of all possible aspects of airplane influence upon environment. Also demanded are proposals of a methodology how to reduce the negative impact of airplanes on aerodrome environment while maintaining (or increasing) the operational safety. Emphasis should be put on the noise, which is perceived as the most problematic disturbance in vicinity of an airport.

4. Proposal for methods of improving safety and quality of small international airports in the Czech Republic

   The issue of safety and quality is one of the most important factors affecting the activity of the major international airports (Prague, Brno, Ostrava, Karlovy Vary), scheduled air transport. In the CR there are a number of other international public airports for international traffic and transport small sport planes and there are international non-public airport. Will analyze the current state of safety and quality of the small international airports and the proposed categorization. In terms of security will be evaluated internal security (related to the actual air transport) and external security (related to the transport of hazardous substances, weapons, drugs, etc.). Using the model will be designed and verified different methodologies aimed at improving safety and quality at airports.

5. The Implementation of PBN Navigation Specification under Optimized Radio-navigation Infrastructure of the CR

   Today's ground based radio navigation systems are expected to be further progressively supplemented, and are foreseen to be replaced, by the Global Navigation Satellite Systems, along with the implementation of the CNS/ATM strategy steps regarding wide Area Navigation implementation. The International Civil Aviation Organization expects in each state an Airspace Concept to be developed. As a part of the Concept, the complete process of PBN Navigation Specification implementation is accompanied with the assessment of the concurrent and the future perspective radio navigation means, Aircraft Operators fleet on-board equipment and other steps. In the view of global navigation environment and the position of the CR in the ECAC space, the methodology of the Airspace Concept based Navigation Specification implementation, together with assessment of concurrent radio navigation infrastructure and its future possibilities of system optimization with smoothed transition on new GNSS technology, is expected to be evolved.

6. UAS operation rules in European controlled airspace and related ATM technical requirements.

   Actual development of the UAS requires intensive study of both legislation and technical solutions of their implementation to airspace. Satisfactory solutions were not be published till now. Then, it is very urgent to study the problems just nowadays. Objectives: - to collect and classify emerging informations/opinions of world´s experts how to rule air traffic of piloted and unmanned aircraft in controlled airspace - to analyse all UAS legislative as well as technical possibilities and limits published till now about the matter - to elaborate a qualified contribution to the problems solution in Europe. Contributions: - overwiev of the matter, - personal education in this special domain of air traffic srevices - to enriche experience of the Czech professional community in the field of ATS
