The Scientific journal AEROjournal is published by The Air Transport Department at the University of Zilina. It offers aviation professionals and academics an opportunity for publication of their research outcomes covering wide range of current issues in air transportation. The Air Transport Department at the University of Zilina (ATD) is a centre for education, research, and training in civil aviation. ATD provides accredited study programmes in a three - tier course structure of university education - bachelor, Ing (equivalent to MSc.) and PhD degrees. We also provide complex aircraft pilot training up to the CPL/IR/MEP (A) level (Commercial Pilot with twin-engine aeroplane qualification and qualification for flying in accordance with Instrument Flight Rules) and a theory up to the frozen ATPL (Airline Transport Pilot) level including Multi Crew Cooperation course. ATD is also the base of the National Civil Aviation Security Training Centre of the Slovak Republic. The Centre runs basic aviation security courses in line with the EU regulations for all categories of personnel in aviation. The papers in this journal cover all the aspects of aviation (including airlines, airports, air traffic management, aerospace and maintenance).

    Analýza meteorologických balónov a sondážnych rakiet ako nástrojov na výskum atmosféry
    (University of Žilina, 2025) Malárik, Samuel; Dianovský, Robert
    This paper addresses the utilisation of meteorological balloons and sounding rockets for data collection for meteorological purposes. The first chapter introduces stratospheric balloons, meteorological balloons and sounding rockets. Their properties, components from which they are constructed, and their current applications are described. The second chapter compares the devices from three perspectives. The operational perspective focuses on flight profiles, control systems, possibilities for reusability, and risks associated with operation. The economic perspective concentrates on the costs associated with launches and possibilities for reduction. The legislative perspective examines the existing legislation pertaining to these devices. The third chapter presents a conceptual design for a sounding rocket, based on which approximate costs for its launch are determined. In conclusion are discussed the advantages and disadvantages of weatherballoons and sounding rockets and the potential area of application for sounding rockets in meteorological measurements is identified.
