Kansan sankarit : hävittäjälentäjien sankarimyytti ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa ja sen jälkeen

2015

Sotilaslentokone sai tulikasteensa ensimmäisessä maailmansodassa. Lentokoneilla taivaalla sotineet miehet nousivat sodan aikana kansan sankareiksi. Tutkin ensimmäisen maailmansodan hävittäjälentäjien sankarimyyttiä Englannissa ja Saksassa sodan aikana ja sen jälkeen. Tutkin aihetta analysoimalla englantilaisen The Manchester Guardian -lehden ja saksalaisen Freiburger Zeitung -lehden kirjoituksia hävittäjälentäjistä. Tutkin lehdistä vuosia 1915–1924. Analysoin lisäksi kuuden kuuluisan hävittäjälentäjän omaelämäkertoja. Päähuomioni kiinnittyy kysymyksiin: miksi ja miten hävittäjälentäjille luotiin sankaristatusta; miten sankaruus muuttui sodan jälkeen; miten lentäjät kokivat sankaristatuksens…

The emission reduction potentials of First Generation Electric Aircraft (FGEA) in Finland

2020

Under the looming climate crisis, aviation needs to find new solutions to cut its greenhouse gas emissions. One pathway towards zero emissions is the use of electric aircraft. While current battery technology will not allow for medium and long-haul flights at full capacity, on short-haul routes First Generation Electric Aircraft (FGEA) could play a significant role in the near future. Current FGEA under development could carry 9–19 passengers on distances of 400–1046 km by 2025. This study focuses on the emissions reduction potentials of FGEA in Finland. It compares the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) emissions and real travel times (RTT) from door-to-door of FGEA on 47 routes with exist…

Flying-Related Concerns among Airline Customers in Finland and Sweden during COVID-19

2022

COVID-19 hit the global economy hard in early 2020, and airline industry was among the biggest commercial victims. Governments closed borders, the virus scared off travelers and the aircraft stayed on the ground to a large extent. The forecasted record year turned out to be the worst in the history of aviation. This study focused on the concerns of airline customers and analyzed the differences between the customer behavior in two focus markets, Finland and Sweden. The article is based on a questionnaire and the answers of 2004 airline customers. The results show that even though the overall COVID-19 strategy was very different between the focus markets, the same concerns still arose. The m…

Intercultural communication difficulties and their effects on flight safety

2015

Globalization of air travel is leading to a multicultural mix of crew. In regard of culture, the cockpit culture is more diverse than the past in aviation world. In the past 20 years, nearly all of the commercial airlines have recruited experienced international pilots in China. The study investigates intercultural communication difficulties experienced by international captains during their interactions with Chinese co-pilots in cockpit. Communication is the key for effective team work, while in multicultural team the role of communication is even more highlighted. Many researchers have explored pilot performance is more closely associated with the quality of interactive communication than…

Climate change influences on aviation: A literature review

2020

While the aviation sector has long been referenced as contributing to the causes of climate change, the need for aviation to adapt to the consequences of climate change has not been as well researched or considered. The paper is a systematic quantitative literature review on climate change and aviation, which aims to explicate significant issues affecting aviation in a changing climate and to identify the aviation industry responses on climate change and adaptation. There are 46 references involved in the detailed assessment, selected according to variables such as methodology, paper outcomes and industry stakeholder. This emergent aviation and climate change adaptation literature could be …
