Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCognitive Workload Assessment: A Comprehensive ReviewNegin Ozve Aminian, William Michael, Mehdi GhoreyshiMental workload during high-effort tasks is a crucial measure of effective task performance. Maintaining cognitive demands within an individual's capacity enables the effective performance of complex multi-tasking. Conversely, surpassing this margin may lead to unpredictable and suboptimal performance. This review explores human mental workload assessment across real-world tasks like aircraft piloting, vehicle driving under challenging conditions, and automated power plant … …Journal of Aircraft and Spacecraft Technology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 20 Aug 2025 · 7,554 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdditive Manufacturing in the Aerospace IndustryLidong Wang, Reed Mosher, Patti DuettThe main advantages of Additive Manufacturing (AM) of metals in the aerospace industry are part consolidation; the reduction of lead time, the construction of complicated structures easily with a great Strength-to-Weight (S:W) ratio; production of parts on-demand with reduced inventory, uncertainty and the costs of supply chains. Ti6Al4V and nickel-based alloys are commonly used AM materials for aerospace parts.
