Multi-Control Commercial Aircraft Trajectory Optimization in a Vertical Plane with State-Inequality Constraints via Singular Control Theory
Written by Amin Jafarimoghaddam as lead author, this study introduces a new computational approach to optimizing aircraft flight trajectories, in particular for commercial flights in a vertical plane. Using singular control theory, the model simplifies flight dynamics, allowing researchers to examine overlooked factors such as control switches and wind effects. An algorithm identifies optimal pointsContinue reading “Multi-Control Commercial Aircraft Trajectory Optimization in a Vertical Plane with State-Inequality Constraints via Singular Control Theory”
