New publication: “Robust Optimization Integrating Aircraft Trajectory and Sequence under Weather Forecast Uncertainty”

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new paper in the field of aircraft trajectory optimisation. It is authored by Shumpei Kamo, PhD student at TU Dresden, and cosupervised by Manuel Soler, from the Aircraft Operations Lab UC3M. ABSTRACT Integration of trajectory optimization into sequence optimization is required for next-generation Arrival Managers (AMANs)Continue reading “New publication: “Robust Optimization Integrating Aircraft Trajectory and Sequence under Weather Forecast Uncertainty””

URJC seminar about sustainable aviation

One of the main challenges in the aerospace sector is achieving a sustainable future for global air traffic. In order to address this issue, a seminar about sustainable aviation was organized by the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC) on 1 and 2 March. It took place at the Fuenlabrada Campus of URJC (Madrid), and itContinue reading “URJC seminar about sustainable aviation”

#HiloTesis: Promoting scientific dissemination on Twitter

The #HiloTesis competition is an initiative of Crue Universidades Española in collaboration with RedDivulga. It aims to foster the development of communication and scientific dissemination skills in future or recent PhDs. Among the participants, we find three talented members of the Aircraft Operations Lab, who have taken up the challenge to share their groundbreaking researchContinue reading “#HiloTesis: Promoting scientific dissemination on Twitter”

The FlyATM4E project, “a SESAR success story”

One of the SESAR Exploratory Research projects in which the Aircraft Operations Lab has participated to address the climate impact of aviation is FlyATM4E. The project studied flight data during different weather scenarios, as well as vertical and horizontal flight paths, to identify climate-optimised aircraft trajectories. The optimisation process showed a potential reduction of non-CO2Continue reading “The FlyATM4E project, “a SESAR success story””
