Combustion engine piston modifications for better performance in UAV aplication
(University of Žilina, 2024) Lubják, Peter; Čerňan, Jozef; Nichtová, Radoslava
The issues described in the article are largely an overview and explanation of the functions of various modern modifications to internal combustion engine pistons, which significantly increase the performance and reliability of current power units with a minimum amount of technical implementation. Especially the modification in the form of gasporting can indicate the direction that will soon be possible to take when modifying engines.
Fatigue in the air and at sea: comparing impact and regulations in aviation and maritime transport
(University of Žilina, 2024) Maternová, Andrea; Materna, Matúš; Nichtová, Radoslava
Fatigue poses a significant threat to transportation safety across all modes of transport. This paper examines fatigue, its consequences, and the regulatory frameworks addressing this issue, with a focus on the aviation and maritime industries. A comparative analysis is conducted on differences in legislation governing maximum duty hours, mandatory rest periods, and the risks resulting from non-compliance. By highlighting regulatory differences and their implications, this paper underscores the importance of effective fatigue management to enhance safety in both sectors.
