Abstract :
Considers two intersecting flows of aircraft that must avoid each other. Considering avoidance maneuvers modeled by instantaneous heading changes, it is demonstrated that these maneuvers remain bounded under decentralized, sequential conflict avoidance rules. Analytical results are compared with simulations.
