Success Stories from SESAR Innovation Days 2023

On November 27 to 30 we attended the SESAR Innovation Days 2023 at the University of Seville featuring two standout projects from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid’s Aircraft Operations Lab—E-CONTRAIL and KAIROS. Driving commitment to the near future of green aviation through E-CONTRAIL Under the UC3M’s coordination, E-CONTRAIL showcased its commitment to sustainable aviationContinue reading “Success Stories from SESAR Innovation Days 2023”

CNN-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms

Our latest research shows that Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms in the aviation field. These results are published in the journal paper titled “Thunderstorm prediction during pre-tactical air-traffic-flow management using convolutional neural networks”. A study written by Aniel Jardinesa, Hamidreza Eivazib, Elias Zeab, Javier García-Herasa,Continue reading “CNN-based architectures can be used to increase the prediction lead time of thunderstorms”

Attending the 76th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics

On November 19-21 we travelled to Washington DC to attend the 76th Annual Meeting of the APS DFD (American Physical Society’s Division of Fluid Dynamics). The Aircraft Operations Lab from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid was represented by Álvaro Moreno Soto, who presented an approach to weather prediction, leveraging Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs). PERSEVERE ProjectContinue reading “Attending the 76th Annual Meeting of the APS Division of Fluid Dynamics”

Sustainable Skies Conference: Contrails in Focus

The Aircraft Operations Lab at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, spearheading the E-CONTRAIL project, actively participated in the Sustainable Skies Conference: Contrails in Focus hosted by CANSO and EUROCONTROL on November 7-8, 2023, in Brussels. The main objective of the event was to bring together scientists, researchers, the aviation industry, policy makers and other stakeholdersContinue reading “Sustainable Skies Conference: Contrails in Focus”

Triplet of Presentations at the ECATS Conference ’23

The Aircraft Operations made a significant presence at the 4th European Conference for Aviation and the Environment (ECATS), which took place in Delft, Netherlands, from October 24 to 26. Centered around the conference theme “Making aviation environmentally sustainable”, two of our projects have been represented by three members of our team delivering their presentations. OnContinue reading “Triplet of Presentations at the ECATS Conference ’23”
