Aero-propulsive modeling of transport aircraft for air traffic management applications

Abstract

Collection of Technical Papers - AIAA Guidance, Navigation, and Control Conference -- 16 August 2004 through 19 August 2004 -- Providence, RI -- 64922

Aerodynamic and propulsive modeling of current aircraft fleet is vital for Air Traffic Management applications, especially for use in decision support tools to predict aircraft trajectories and simulation tools. There are various models already in use or proposed. A different aerodynamic and propulsive modeling is presented in this paper. The new model considers the compressibility effects and non-linear variations of the drag polar. In addition, the thrust and specific fuel consumption models proposed consider variations of these quantities both with altitude and the Mach number.
