Robust 4D climate-optimal aircraft trajectory planning under weather-induced uncertainties: Free-routing airspace

Aircraft Operations Lab’s latest research paper, ‘Robust 4D climate-optimal aircraft trajectory planning under weather-induced uncertainties: Free-routing airspace’ has been published in the Journal of Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment. Writen by Abolfazl Simorgh as main author, our research within the ongoing RefMap project introduces an innovative methodology for climate-optimal flight trajectory planning inContinue reading “Robust 4D climate-optimal aircraft trajectory planning under weather-induced uncertainties: Free-routing airspace”

We bring science and engineering closer to children with the RefMap project

On Monday, February 26, a scientific outreach activity took place at CEIP Calderón de la Barca in Leganés, led by María Cerezo, a member of the Aircraft Operations Lab UC3M, by Cecilia Hernández, from the Spanish Space Agency (AEE), and by the aerospace engineer Lucía Lacambra. The objective of the activity was to bring scienceContinue reading “We bring science and engineering closer to children with the RefMap project”

The main objectives of the RefMap project

RefMap is a project funded by the European Union’s HORIZON Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement number 101096698. The project involves the Aircraft Operations Lab of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid as a member of the consortium. RefMap strives to minimize the environmental impact of air travel for both airlines and Unmanned AerialContinue reading “The main objectives of the RefMap project”

REFMAP kick-off meeting

Today and yesterday we were in Stockholm attending the REFMAP kick-off meeting. It took place at the KTH (Royal Institute of Technology) campus both online and in person. The REFMAP project is coordinated by Ricardo Vinuesa, from The Linné FLOW Centre at KTH and involves 10 other partners from Cyprus, Czech Republic, Greece, Netherlands, Portugal, SpainContinue reading “REFMAP kick-off meeting”
