Abstract
Accurate modeling of aircraft performance is a key factor in estimating aircraft noise, emissions, and fuel burn. Within the FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT), many assumptions are made for aircraft performance modeling with respect to aircraft takeoff weight, takeoff/climb thrust, and departure procedure that directly impact the accuracy of aircraft takeoff performance, and therefore the environmental impacts from aircraft departure operations. This paper examines previous research in the literature, airline data, and AEDT’s algorithm to identify the modeling gaps between the AEDT and real-world operations. Then statistical analysis is performed to come up with improved assumptions that can be modeled in AEDT. The AEDT Aircraft Performance Model (APM) algorithm is systematically evaluated to develop methods to improve existing modeling. Different takeoff weights, takeoff and climb thrusts, and noise abatement departure procedures are modeled in AEDT to quantify the impacts of the modeling assumptions on the environmental impacts including airport noise, emissions, and fuel consumption. Finally, methods and options to improve the environmental modeling capability from aircraft departures are discussed.
