Research on Optimization of Aircraft Climb Trajectory considering Environmental Impact

VIATO-visual interactive aircraft trajectory optimization

An approach toward the automated solution of aircraft trajectory optimization problems is introduced and implemented in an interactive program called visual interactive aircraft trajectory optimization (VIATO). This MS Windowscompatible software produces minimum time trajectories to a fixed or moving target. It is easy to use by nonexperts as no previous knowledge of the methods of optimal cont...

Model-based system assessment and trajectory optimization on aircraft level

The quantification of aircraft level benefits like the reduction of mass, drag, power offtake, and consequently fuel burn is a key aspect in assessing new technologies like green taxiing systems, electrical environmental control systems, and optimized aircraft trajectories. A basic means to determine these deltas is a detailed dynamic model of the aircraft containing the flight dynamics, kinema...

Singular Arc Time-Optimal Climb Trajectory of Aircraft in a Two-Dimensional Wind Field

This paper presents a study of a minimum time-to-climb trajectory analysis for aircraft flying in a twodimensional altitude dependent wind field. The time optimal control problem possesses a singular control structure when the lift coefficient is taken as a control variable. A singular arc analysis is performed to obtain an optimal control solution on the singular arc. Using a time-scale separa...
