• Abstract:
  Accurate modeling of aircraft performance is a key factor in estimating aircraft noise, emissions, and fuel burn. Within the Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), many assumptions are made for aircraft performance modeling with respect to aircraft weight and departure procedure, coupled with aircraft departure typically being modeled by assuming that full rated takeoff power/thrust is used. As operations around airports continue to evolve, there is a need to examine those assumptions and to improve the modeling accuracy with flight data. In recent years, flight data are increasingly being used to enhance models and bring model estimation even closer to reality. Research is needed to build on prior work with a view to develop a robust set of recommendations for improved estimation processes for takeoff weight, reduced thrust takeoffs, and departure profiles within AEDT. During this project, the research provided the FAA with recommendations and an implementation plan to improve the takeoff performance modeling based on real world observations, which ultimately was included in the public release of AEDT3b.
