Increasing concerns regarding aircraft noise has encouraged the push to reduce noise via operational adjustments. The objective here is thus to expand analysis capabilities to enable modeling of the impact on aircraft noise due to advanced operational approach procedures, such as delayed deceleration approaches and thrust cutback scheduling on take

The FAA Aerospace Forecasts are developed to support budget and planning needs of the FAA. The forecasts are developed using statistical models to explain and incorporate emerging trends of the different segments of the aviation industry.
As the popularity of and global access to air travel expands, quantifying its impact on climate and air pollution becomes increasingly important. However, the spatial-temporal distribution of aircraft emissions and their byproducts span many orders of magnitude, as contrail development begins within seconds, but can spread to the kilometer-scale an

The autoignition characteristics of conventional jet fuels (category A) and alternative fuels with targeted properties (category C) are investigated using a rapid compression machine and the direct test chamber charge preparation approach. The category C fuels were purposefully built to anticipate special property variations that generally occur in

Aviation professionals have long understood that having safe and effective standard operating procedures for flightcrews is vitally important for conducting safe and efficient operations. Failing to follow flightcrew procedures or having inadequate procedures is consistently cited as a major cause of airline accidents and incidents, and has been ci

This report covers the period October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. The Center was established by the authority of FAA solicitation 13-C-AJFE-Solicitation. During that time the ASCENT team launched a new website, which can be viewed at https://ascent.aero/. The next meeting will be held September 26 - 27, 2017 at the Embassy Suites in Alexand

Undisturbed and sufficiently long sleep is a prerequisite for a healthy life as well as for the prevention of fatigue-induced accidents. Especially the increasing air and freight rail traffic is more and more shifted to shoulder and night-time hours due to missing capacity and infrastructure during daytime. Thus, the sleep of residents near airport

This report describes the development of a new engine weight surrogate model and High Pressure Compressor (HPC) polytropic efficiency correction for the propulsion module in the Transport Aircraft OPTtimization (TASOPT) code. The goal of this work is to improve the accuracy and applicability of TASOPT in conceptual design of advanced technology, hi

Noise analysis is one important component of environmental evaluation for new flight procedure design. Communities, airports, regulators. Currently, the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) is the primary tools used to evaluate new procedures and traffic intensity levels for calculating noise impact footprints near airports. AEDT noise calcula

New field studies need to be conducted in the US to acquire current data relative to varying degrees of noise exposure to provide information on the effect of noise on sleep. As studies may need to investigate samples around multiple airports it will not be possible to use polysomnography to monitor sleep, as it has a high methodological cost. Inst

The objective of this project was to continue research at The Pennsylvania State University in the ASCENT Center of Excellence to complement the sonic boom standards development ongoing within the Committee for Aviation Environmental Protection's (CAEP) Working Group 1 (Noise Technical), Supersonics Standards Task Group (SSTG). This research aimed

Manufacturers of business jets have expressed interest in designing and building a new generation of supersonic jets that produce shaped sonic booms of lower peak amplitude than booms created by the previous generation of supersonic aircraft. To determine if these “low” booms are less intrusive and the noise exposure is more acceptable to communiti

The objective of this research is to gather and analyze aircraft engine non-volatile particulate matter (nvPM) emissions data collected from CLEEN, ACCESS and other recent emission measurement campaigns and to develop improved models for the relationship between fuel composition and nvPM emissions. Improvements to estimates of nvPM emissions from a

This paper examines the potential fuel efficiency benefits of cruise altitude and speed optimization using historical fight path records. Results are presented for a subset of domestic US flights in 2012 as well as for long haul flights tracked by the European IAGOS atmospheric research program between 2010 and 2013. For a given lateral flight rout
