Abstract:Aviation environmental models which conform to international guidance have advanced
over the past several decades. Enhancements to algorithms and databases have increasingly
shown these models to compare well with gold standard measured data. The Federal
Aviation Administration’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) brings these
enhancements into a new capability to investigate interdependencies within a single
modeling environment. It provides an interactive environment to iterate noise modeling
results relative to contributing aircraft events, as well as understand the fuel burn and
emissions consequences of model scenarios. This paper presents an overview of the tool,
including its capabilities to analyze the implications of technology and operational
improvements planned for the next generation airspace system. An example is provided
that illustrates how the tool may better inform aviation policymakers as they prepare for
the significant growth expected in the aviation industry.
