Abstract

Aircraft performance is one of the most important elements of air transport, which has a great importance in the military and civil fields. Many studies are carried out to increase flight performance for each of the flight phases. There are many factors that affect flight performance. In this study, the factors affecting the aircraft performance were determined by researching and then the degree of importance of the factors was evaluated by using the SWARA (Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis), in line with the opinions of the experts. As a result of the evaluation, the first three criteria with the highest degree of importance in weighting the aircraft performance parameters are determined as weight, construction material and temperature, respectively.

UÇAK PERFORMANS PARAMETRELERİNİN AĞIRLIKLANDIRILMASINDA SWARA METODU

Abstract

Askeri ve sivil alanda çok büyük bir öneme sahip olan hava taşımacılığının en önemli unsurlarından biri uçak performansıdır. Uçuş fazlarının her biri için uçuş performansının artırılmasını sağlamak için birçok çalışma yapılmaktadır. Uçuş performansını etkileyen birçok unsur bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada uçak performansına etki eden faktörler araştırılarak belirlenmiş, daha sonra belirlenen bu faktörlerin uçak performansını ne derecede etkilediği uzman kişilerin görüşleri doğrultusunda, Aşamalı Ağırlık Değerlendirme Oran Analizi (SWARA Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) kullanılarak faktörlerin önem dereceleri değerlendirilmiştir. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda uçak performans parametrelerinin ağırlıklandırılmasında en yüksek önem derecesine sahip ilk üç kriter sırası ile Ağırlık, yapım malzemesi ve sıcaklık olarak belirlenmiştir.
