Boeing, Honeywell, NASA Flight-test Interval Management
Flight-tests of time-based interval management in Moses Lake, Washington, could lead to reduced spacing and improved airport capacity.

During flight-tests involving up to three jets converging on the same point in space but separated by specific time intervals, engineers from NASA, Boeing and Honeywell observed as pilots managed an intricate air traffic management choreography enabled by sophisticated software, all with the goal of improving efficiency for the busy airspace surrounding popular airports.
