In recent years, various agricultural UAVs (mainly the copter configuration) have been developed for processing small fields using the method of ultra-low-volume spraying. The proposed project of an agricultural UAV aircraft configuration has several advantages especially when used on large fields. Due to the high flight speed, high payload and the duration of flight time without refuelling, this aircraft has a fairly high performance in the process of protecting plants from diseases and pests. In addition, a relatively simple infrastructure, based on the years of experience in the use of manned aircraft in agriculture, allows, by analogy, to develop an unmanned aviation system for agricultural purposes. Flights are currently underway to test UAV control systems when manoeuvring at low altitudes near obstacles.Item AEROjournal - celé číslo 1/2019(University of Zilina, 2019) Novák, Andrej; Lusiak, Tomasz; Kováčik, Ľubomír; Škultéty, Filip; Čerňan, Jozef; Rostáš, Ján; Bugaj, Martin; Pecho, Pavol; Lusiak, Tomasz; Janovec, Michal; Urminský, Tomáš; Škvareková, Iveta; Kandera, Branislav; Ažaltovič, ViliamItem AEROjournal - celé číslo 1/2020(Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020)Item AEROjournal - celé číslo 1/2021 (University of Žilina, 2021)Item AEROjournal - celé číslo 1/2022(University of Zilina, 2022)Item AEROjournal - celé číslo 1/2023(University of Žilina, 2023)Item AEROjournal - celé číslo 2/2019(University of Zilina, 2019) Kováčik, Ľubomír; Novák, Andrej; Lusiak, Tomasz; Škultéty, Filip; Poljak, Jozef; Yun, Gennadiy; Pederiy, Yuri; Gnashuk, Andrei; Bartoš, Miroslav; Badánik, Benedikt; Jarošová, Miriam; Kazda, Antonín; Bugaj, Martin; Materna, MatúšItem AEROjournal - celé číslo 2/2020(University of Zilina, 2020)Item Item Item AEROjournal - celé číslo 2/2023(University of Žilina, 2023)Item AMSS in Europe(University of Žilina, 2022) Novák, Andrej; Kováčiková, KristínaNowadays, technology is developing rapidly, therefore satellite and aviation systems need to keep pace with modern trends and new technology. The paper is focused on satellite systems and aviation systems. Based on analysis of the issues it is possible to take measures against problems that may arise in the future. There is a need for satellite-based navigation system that can solve the problems of the existing systems and make the existing systems better and more efficient by providing great convenience to the airspace users for the safe, efficient, comfortable and economical realisation of flights in the future. The paper contains information about Air Communication and Navigation Systems and discusses the state of current aviation and satellite systems.Item Analysis of the earth's surface influence on the accuracy of non directional beacon in mountain terrain(University of Zilina, 2021) Novák, Andrej; Novák Sedláčková, Alena; Lusiak, Tomasz; Stelmach, AnnaThis paper deals with the measuring and checking of the Non Directional Beacon using flying laboratory AeroLab 1 at University of Zilina. It is based on the most simple radio navigation concept: a ground-based radio transmitter (the NDB) sends an omnidirectional signal that an aircraft loop antenna receives. Our practical measurement shows that the NDB satisfies ICAO standards and can be used in industrial part of urban area and is functional in spite of the interference. The paper concentrates on the measuring of the Non Directional Beacon (NDB) which is installed close to industrial part of the city. The ADF/NDB navigation system is one of the oldest air navigation system still in use today. One of the paper's goals is to familiarize the aviation public with the practical measurement of this urban area phenomenon in terms of flight safety, which is common in mountainous nations such as Slovakia. The article's other purpose is to educate professionals in the area about this occurrence in terms of its nature as a physical rule, in order to develop solutions to improve the navigation system's measurement accuracy.Item ANALÝZA RUŠENIA SIGNÁLU GNSS NA LETISKU POPRAD- TATRY(Žilinská univerzita v Žiline, 2020) Novák, Andrej; Novák Sedláčková, Alena; Stelmach, AnnaThe paper is focused on the GNSS signal interference during the airport approach procedures at small Slovak regional airport Poprad-Tatry. The paper analyzes the simulation of the situation during the identification and monitoring of GNSS signal interference by ground station situated at the airport. Nowadays is still important to develop air transport and increasing the safety and continuity of provided services even at small regional airports. One of the most appropriate possibilities is to use at this kind of airports with insufficiently equipped navigation infrastructure the GNSS approach. The monitoring of reliability of this system and implementation of monitoring the GNSS signal interference in the final phase of the instrument approach will increase the safety of the flight.Item COLD FRONT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON WEATHER AT AIRPORTS IN WESTERN SLOVAKIA(University of Zilina, 2019) Jarošová, MiriamWeather is limiting factor in planning of our activities. We often have to change our plans to avoid problems that the weather could bring. Transport, especially air transport is very sensitive to sudden changes of weather. For any mode of transport, safety, speed and efficiency is heavily dependent on current and expected weather conditions. Therefore, it is important to know very well the phenomena related to the atmosphere and selected mode of transport.Item COMPETITIVE CHALLENGES FACING THE AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES IN EUROPE(University of Zilina, 2019) Bartoš, Miroslav; Badánik, BenediktEuropean aviation is facing new competitive challenges in a rapidly evolving global market, in particular as a result of a shift of economic growth to the East. These new competitors are benefitting from the rapid economic growth of the entire region, notably Asia, and from aviation becoming a strategic element in their home-country's economic development policies. With an annual growth forecast of 6%, scheduled passenger traffic in the Asia Pacific, the region is likely to grow faster than other regions until 2034 when it will account for 40% of world air traffic. China is expected to become the world’s largest air transport market, overtaking the United States of America in 2023 in terms of number of passengers carried (Sloveniacontrol, 2018).For the EU aviation industry to remain competitive, it is essential that market access is based on a regulatory framework which promotes EU values and standards, enables reciprocal opportunities and prevents distortion of competition. The main challenge for the growth of European aviation is to reduce the capacity and efficiency constraints, which are seriously impeding the European aviation sector's ability to grow sustainably, compete internationally, and which are causing congestion and delays and raising costs. This paper examines competitive environment and performance of seven European Air Navigation Services Providers (ANSP) of Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovak Republic and Slovenia from European Commission´s target perspective.Item Creation of a Z 43 aeroplane model for a flight simulator(University of Žilina, 2023) Poláček, Jozef; Škultéty, FilipThis paper describes the process of developing a Zlin Z 43 aircraft for a flight simulator. Work on an aircraft simulation consists of multiple parts. The development of the flight model is the first and core part of the simulation. Work on this part consisted of an analysis of the X-Plane blade element theory-based flight model, sourcing of the data this model requires, flight testing and further editing of the data to match the known performance of the Zlín Z43. The aircraft systems are another core part of the simulation. A Mix of the simulator's default, customised and fully custom systems are used. The theory and process of creating, animating, and texturing a 3D model are described, too. Visual quality can also be important, especially for its use in virtual reality. The last part is about the user interface, user experience and how the various use cases shape their design for an aircraft simulation.Item Customer requirements for airport mobile applications(University of Zilina, 2021) Kováčiková, Kristína; Materna, Matúš; Baláž, MartinDigital technologies are increasingly entering into the day-to-day life of everyone. It is possible to observe it in every area, and air transport is no exception. In the context of the digital transformation of air transport, the potential is tremendous, and enterprises in air transport are being forced to constantly introduce new digital technologies to keep up with the competition. The significant trend now is to carry all the information in the pocket - in the smartphone. Many airports around the world are introducing digital technologies into all processes in the airport environment, including the implementation of a mobile application. Competent representatives of many airports have understood that the introduction of modern services can motivate passengers to make more use of the airport and help increase attractiveness and improve the perception of the airport. The aim of this scientific article is to identify requirements of passengers and their expectations from the airport mobile application.Item Deployment of enviro system for obtaining geospatial data for forest monitoring and improving forest management and protection(University of Žilina, 2022) Materna, Matúš; Novák, Andrej; Badánik, Benedikt; Kandera, BranislavPaper describes deployment of ENVIRO System used for obtaining geospatial data for forest monitoring and improving forest anagement.
