In recent years, much attention has been paid to the recording of flight data in order to provide objective information concerning routine and emergency in-flight situations. The data recorded can be used for assessing the air mission execution by the pilot and flight safety breaches, for specifying some damage to the equipment, and for preventing faulty equipment from being used in flights. Flight data recorders (FDRs) are commonly known as “black boxes”. This article presents issues related to flight data acquisition and preparing the data for later use, as well as their impact on flight safety. The systems recording and processing selected parameters not only enable ongoing diagnostics, but also make it possible to predict the period of further reliable operations and to analyse the causes that led to possible damage. In addition to improving economic indicators of the aircraft operation, flight safety is improved. Obviously, the article will only discuss certain ways of enhancing safety by applying the processing of data obtained from FDRs. Nevertheless, I believe it will offer an overall view of how important it is to collect, process and properly analyse such data for diagnostics, prediction and flight safety.
This article examines airbases as organizational units of the Polish Air Force from the perspective of executing logistical processes, with a particular emphasis on multirole aircraft maintenance processes. We selected air force bases that deal with multirole aircraft in order to become acquainted with the opinions of service processing executors. The observations of most immediate executors of the processes allow us to examine the possibilities for their enhancement and development. We presented the dependencies between different factors occurring in logistics processes, and their relationships and conditionings [3, 6, 7]. We described these factors using comparative parameters by means of the analysis and tools recommended in the science of management [2, 3, 8], while the collected material was developed using statistical tools and computer software [1]. The article is illustrated with numerous pictures and tables.
Vibroacoustic phenomena occurring in power transmission systems affect the durability and quality of the driven devices, and also allow for evaluation their technical condition. The article presents the results of laboratory tests aimed at comparing the vibroactivity of the toothed gear, in which the pairs of wheels differ in geometric parameters. The results of research carried on test stand are supplement with results of computer simulations. The proposed test method can be used to determine general vibration and noise reduction guidelines for power transmission systems with toothed gear. The results of the numerical and laboratory tests carried out at the transmission system with circulating power system show that the uncomplicated transformation of the gear geometry used in the toothed gear from the manufacturing point of view allows to reduce the level of vibroacoustic phenomena accompanying their work.
The article presents results of numerical studies on the influence of selected factors on the dynamic effects and vibroactivity in power transmission system with toothed gear. Optimization of the constructions of the toothed gears is in many cases only possible by applying the numerical methods. Dynamic models allow determining the influence of a range of factors on the dynamic phenomena occurring during work of toothed gear. The studies were performed with use a custom developed dynamic model of a test stand with the gears operating in the circulating power system. It was assumed, that properly defined and identified model can be used to analyse dynamic phenomena occurring in meshing and bearings of toothed gears and allows optimizing their construction, especially allows minimization their vibroactivity. Numerical calculations were based on two sets of input data. Sets of input data consist information on all parameters included in the model, and which were determined during the identification process carried out in laboratory at two test stands. Selected results of simulations presented in this article prove, that identified dynamic model can be used to analysis of the impact of various constructional, technological and operational factors on the vibroactivity of the toothed gear.
The article presents selected results of experimental studies on the influence of chosen factors on the dynamic effects and vibroactivity of toothed gears in power transmission systems. The studies were performed on test stand with the gears operating in the circulating power system. On initial phase of the research, four pairs of helical gear wheels with the same value of gear ratios were designed and manufactured. The wheels differed by values of transverse contact ratio εα, face contact ratio εβ and total contact ration εC. In the research, the transverse vibration velocities of the shafts and housing of the tested toothed gear on FZG test stand was assumed to be the vibroactivity criterion. The measurements of the vibrations were carried out on the shafts and at seven points of the top plate of the housing. The vibrations were measured using a laser vibrometer and acceleration sensors. In addition, selected experimental results of measurements were compared with results of numerical simulations. To the simulations was used extended, identified dynamic model of the FZG test stand. The parameters of the wheels and the measured deviations were introduced into model. Obtained results confirm that by increasing the value of the contact ratio of the helical gear is possible reduction of dynamic phenomena occurring in the toothed gear.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are under a continuous development stage. Nevertheless, there is a wider range of their use for civilian and military purposes. We have to know, there are changes in the nature of conducted military activities. Nowadays, reconnaissance is conducted as regards the use of UAVs which allow to get the data concerning the opponent’s army. It is also possible from the areas affected by an increased level of risk.

For this reason, methods of unmanned aerial vehicles used in selected military conflicts were described in this article. The paper also tries to make an attempt to determine probable directions of UAV’s evolution for military purposes. The first section of the paper briefly describes the history of UAVs. In the second part, there are presented some possible methods of unmanned aircraft`s classification. The further part of the article focuses on the previous military use and armament which are dedicated for an unmanned aircraft. Lastly, there are characterized expected trends of the development of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Obecne uregulowania prawne w Polsce nie określają zasad wykorzystania Bezzałogowych Statków Powietrznych poza zasięgiem obserwacji wzrokowej. W związku z tym, loty tego typu odbywać się mogą jedynie w wysegregowanych elementach przestrzeni po- wietrznej. Wysegregowana przestrzeń powietrzna pozostaje zamknięta, co skutkuje bra- kiem możliwości jej wykorzystania przez pozostałych użytkowników. W artykule przed- stawiono wyzwania, z jakimi należy się zmierzyć, aby Bezzałogowe Statki Powietrzne mogły wykonywać operacje lotnicze również poza wysegregowaną przestrzenią powietrz- ną z równoczesnym zachowaniem wysokiego poziomu bezpieczeństwa lotów.

Current legislation in Poland does not specify the rules of use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (BSP), except for visual observation. Thus, flights of this type may be conducted only in some specified, segregated components of airspace. This segregated airspace must remain closed, which results in the fact that it is inaccessible for other users. The article presents the challenges that must be addressed so that Unmanned Aerial Vehicles were allowed to carry out air operations outside segregated airspace while maintaining a high level of flight safety.

In the article are presented chosen research results of influence of local defects in toothed gear on the vibroacoustic signal. Vibroacoustic methods of diagnostics are perfectly suitable to the task of monitoring the status of devices during their normal work. Monitoring of vibrations during operation is particular importance for industrial toothed gear as well gears working in the power transmission systems of aircrafts. Taken into account negative consequences of damages in toothed gears, determination of changes in vibroacoustic signal can prevent possible failures, and is therefore very important. Researches were performed with use residual signals created from synchronously averaged time signals generated by identified dynamic model of toothed gear working in circulating power system. Superior purpose of work is development of effectively methods of damage detection, especially in its early stages, what has great importance during operating aircrafts. The study shows that local damage of the wheels affects changes in the frequency distribution of vibroacoustic signals energy. The degree of damage significantly impacts to the possibility of detecting it on the basis of time signals analyses.
