• Abstract:
  The focus on optimizing aircraft fuel efficiency ; as well as interest in assessing aviation ; emissions inventories to measure the efficacy of ; efforts to limit or reduce aviation emissions ; worldwide has spurred a number of efforts in ; the U.S. and Europe to develop robust computer ; models capable of assessing aircraft emissions ; at local, regional, and global levels. The ; present contribution shows both a macro and ; micro level example of the types of analyses that ; the Federal Aviation Administration?s (FAA) ; System for assessing Aviation?s Global ; Emissions (SAGE) enables. On the macro level, ; examples are given of global inventory ; information computed using SAGE. In addition, ; a micro-level assessment of fuel burn, emissions ; and related costs associated with the 2995 nmi ; (Great Circle), New York (JFK)-to-London ; (EGLL) origin-destination (O-D) pair is ; provided. ; We highlight this O-D pair since: (1) it is an ; extremely popular trans-oceanic pair, with a ; large number of operations; (2) radar-based ; aircraft position data from FAA?s Enhanced ; Traffic Management System are available for ; all flights hence enhancing the confidence of the ; analyses; and (3) a variety of aircraft (B747, ; B767 and B777), operated by several different ; international carriers are represented on this ; O-D pair, which highlights the versatility and ; robustness of the model. SAGE supports ; decision making to manage and mitigate ; aviation fuel consumption and emissions, ; thereby enabling the sustained growth of this ; critical mode of transportation.
