Developing optimal aircraft trajectories that minimize flight times, fuel burn, and associated environmental emissions not only enhances air traffic flow but also helps the aviation industry cope with increasing fuel costs and reduce aviation-induced climate change. This study develops a trajectory optimization algorithm for minimizing aircraft travel time and fuel burn by combining a method for computing...
A strategy for trajectory design, motion camouflage, is introduced within the context of orbital relative motion. At first the equations of orbital motion for this approach are developed. The control strategy is then implemented using both an impulsive and continuous approach. A number of parameters are then optimized to minimize the fuel mass. The simulation results reveal that the predator successfully...
We consider the air traffic conflict resolution problem and develop an optimization model for generating speed trajectories that minimize the fuel expended to avoid conflicts. The problem is formulated by metering aircraft at potential conflict points. The developed model is a mixed integer linear program that can be solved in near real-time for large number of aircraft.
