Mirce Science: Impact of Windscreen Damage on Functionability Performance of Commercial Aircraft
Dr Jezdimir Knezevic, MIRCE Akademy, Woodbury Park, Exeter, UK
Abstract:Flights cancellations or diversions of flights of commercial aircraft caused by windscreen damage have significant impact on their functionability performance. Thus, this paper addresses windscreen damage as an observed phenomenon from the Mirce science point of view, which means that it is considered as a mechanism that generates negative functionability events, which compels the affected aircraft out of scheduled service. The paper briefly examines the types of damage experienced in the past to understand their physical manifestations, as a negative functionability action that could generate undesirable consequences to the travelling public and financial losses to the airlines due to the withdrawal from service of the affected aircraft. Several design and operational methods for reducing the probability of windscreen damage are briefly presented in the paper, as the potential positive functionability actions to be taken to return them to scheduled service.
Mirce Science: Impact of Bed Bugs Infestations on Functionability Performance of Commercial Aircraft
Dr Jezdimir Knezevic, MIRCE Akademy, Woodbury Park, Exeter, EX5 1JJ, UK
Abstract: Flights cancellations caused by bed bug infestations of commercial aircraft have significant impact of their functionability performance. Thus, this paper addresses bed bugs infestation as an observed phenomenon from the Mirce Science point of view, which means that it is considered as a mechanism that generates negative functionability events, which compels the affected aircraft out of scheduled service. The paper briefly examines the bed bug species to understand their physiological characteristics and life cycle phases, as a natural functionability action that could generate undesirable negative consequences to the travelling public and financial losses to the airlines due to the withdrawal from service of the affected aircraft. Several methods for eradicating bed bugs from infected commercial aircraft surfaces are briefly presented in the paper, as the potential positive functionability action, performed to return them to scheduled working processes.

Happy 55th Birthday to B747
The B747, known as Jumbo Jet, is celebrating its 55th anniversary since its first revenue-generating flight (with Pan Am ). On 30 September 1968, the first 747 rolled out of its Everett Plant in Washington State, first flew on 9 February 1969, and it entered service on 22 January 1970. Now, 55 years later, only three airlines around the world operate scheduled passenger flights with the 747 (more operate cargo variants). While the B747 is seen as a crowning achievement of American aviation engineering, no US-based airlines operate it as a commercial scheduled passenger aircraft anymore.

Programme for 12th MIRCE Science Congress - 28 -30 June 2023
During last twelve months we witnessed around 175 orbital and sub-orbital rocket launches. However, some of them have either never made it to space or failed to deploy their payloads once they got there. The common denominator for all fail missions, according to publicly available information provided by their management and sponsoring teams, was a launch anomaly. Thus, the main objective of the Congress is to address specific actions and mechanisms that prevented launched satellites from reaching the expected orbit as well as those that will reduce a probability of reoccurring.
All welcome to the Congress in face-to-face format after three years of absence due to COVID-19. For the full programme please click here.
To all of you: Healthy, Prosperous & Happy 2023 from all of us!

January 2021: COVID-19 Pandemic as a Mechanism of the Motion of an Aircraft in MIRCE Mechanics
The COVID-19 outbreak has shown that pandemics, like other rarely occurring natural catastrophes, have happened in the past and will happen in the future. Although humans cannot prevent dangerous viruses from emerging, they should be prepared to dampen their consequences for the economy and all of society. The main objective of this paper is to address the COVID-19 pandemic as a novel mechanism of the motion of an aircraft in MIRCE Mechanics, as only then the most effective technological, social and economic actions can be taken by humans to deal with it. Thus, this paper is bringing together the physiological side of COVID-19 and its physical impact on the operational side of airlines in order to assist them to predict the expected positive and negative work by each aircraft type grounded. This analysis will guide them to decide what type of fleet they should have in the post pandemic times and thus secure the business existence. Link to full paper:

Physical Reality of Reliability Function - Presentation by Dr Knezevic at The Reliability Conference, organised by Reliabilityweb.com, Seattle, May 2019.
In a late 1950s, Reliability Theory was “created”. It was based on mathematical theorems rather then on scientific theories. The Reliability function for a system is determined by the reliability functions of the constituent components and their configurations within functional system. It is well-defined analytical functions obeying the axioms and theorems of mathematics. Systematic research performed by the author during several decades of the observable physical realities of in-service/operational life of functional systems in aerospace, military and nuclear power industries have clearly shown that determines from the mathematically implied reality. The presentation goes through a list of physically observed and undeniable facts that seriously impact the accuracy of the reliability predictions currently provided through reliability theory.
