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”

New publication: “Conflict assessment and resolution of climate-optimal aircraft trajectories at network scale”
The second 2023 research paper within the Air Operations Lab was published by PhD student Fateme Baneshi and explores a way to reduce air traffic conflicts arising from attempts to mitigate the climate impact of aviation.
How can we ensure global air mobility that minimizes resource use and climate effects?
Sigrun Matthes is a scientist researching at DLR and also the coordinator of the FlyATM4E project. In the following video she answers the above question also addresses the following points:
