Optimal trajectory management for aircraft descent operations subject to time constraints

Ramon Dalmau Codina

Abstract: The growth in traffic increased the pressure on the environmental sustainability of air transport. In this context, many research effort has been devoted to minimise the environmental impact in the different phases of flight. Continuous descent operations, ideally performed with the engines at idle from the cruise altitude to right before landing, have shown to reduce fuel, noise nuisance and gaseous emissions if compared to conventional descents. However, this type of operations suffer from a well known drawb… Show more

“…The 3 DoF model simplifies the aircraft by representing it as a moving point (centre of gravity) with a certain mass (see Dalmau (2019)). Even for the 3 DoF model, the differential equations governing the aircraft dynamics cannot be solved analytically, except for some specific phases of the flight.…”
