This contribution addresses the state-of-the-art in the field of aircraft noise prediction,
simulation and minimisation. The point of view taken in this context is that of comprehensive …

Rapid advances in technologies that improve the management of aircraft have provided a
new opportunity for practitioners to address key social, environmental and economic impacts …

The ecology of air traffic includes society attitudes toward reducing fuel consumption and
minimizing noise emissions. Aircraft noise exposure can be reduced by optimizing standard …

In this study, a genetic optimization algorithm is applied to the design of environmentally
friendly aircraft departure trajectories. The environmental optimization has been primarily …

AiR traffic is continuously increasing over the years 1 and, in the more likely scenario, is
predicted to double in the next 20 years 2. Airspace congestion requires more efficient …

The increased number of daily flights in the last decades has led to the densification of major
airports and the proliferation of air traffic delays. The approach phase is inherently complex …

In this study, the effects of instrument approach procedures and flight path angles on fuel
consumption and carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions were investigated using the actual …

This thesis presents several approaches, based on the characteristics of the problem
formulation and the involved dynamic systems, for solving large scale, complex, and real …

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the effects of descent time spent with flaps extended
on fuel burn (FB) and specific range for five different flight path angles (FPAs) ranging …
