Smart Autonomous Aircraft: Flight Control and Planning for UAV introduces the advanced
methods of flight control, planning, situation awareness, and decision making. This book is …

An approach to optimize multiphase trajectories of commercial transport aircraft is
presented. The approach is based on the theory of hybrid optimal control, and it is applied to …

Aircrafts require a large amount of fuel in order to generate enough power to perform a flight.
That consumption causes the emission of polluting particles such as carbon dioxide, which …

A methodology of aircraft reference trajectory optimization inspired by the ant colony
optimization is used in this paper to find the most efficient trajectory in terms of fuel burn and …

Integration of trajectory optimization into sequence optimization is required for next-
generation Arrival Managers (AMANs) to support Collaborative Decision-Making (CDM) and …

Fuel burn releases polluting particles to the atmosphere. Aeronautical operations have been
estimated as being responsible for 2% of the total amount of carbon dioxide liberated to the …

With the objective of reducing the flight cost and the amount of polluting emissions released
in the atmosphere, a new optimization algorithm considering the climb, cruise and descent …

Flight trajectory optimization algorithms reduce flight cost and fuel consumption, thereby
reducing the polluting emissions released to the atmosphere. Ground teams and avionics …

To cope with the environmental impact of aviation and pollution problems in the future,
airlines need to assess environmental impacts and offer countermeasures in advance. In …

This paper describes an optimization algorithm that provides an economical Vertical
Navigation profile plan by finding the combinations of climb, cruise and descent speeds, as …
