Analysis of the effect of large fuel tanks on aerodynamic performances of heavy trucks and large aircraft
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2017-03-15)
Bachelor thesis
Open AccessNowadays, 90% of the worldwide vehicles work with fossil fuels. Use of fossil fuels contributes to the greenhouse effect and, to increase the pollution worldwide. Hydrogen has been suggested as a possible alternative to ... -
Climb, cruise, and descent speed reduction for airborne delay without extra fuel
(2018-05-01)
Article
Open AccessIn the majority of situations, air traffic flow management (ATFM) regulations are issued due to weather-related capacity reductions. Considering the uncertainties in weather prediction and other unforeseen factors, ATFM ... -
Comparison of fuel consumption of Continuous Descent Operations with required times of arrival
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessContinuous descent operations (CDOs) with required times of arrival (RTAs) have proven to deliver major environmental benefits in terminal maneuvering areas (TMAs) without degrading capacity. When traffic density is high, ... -

Identification of significant impact factors on Arrival Flight Efficiency within TMA
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessAn important step towards improving the flight performance within Terminal Maneuvering Area (TMA) is the identification of the factors causing inefficiencies. Without knowing which exact factors have high impact on which ... -
Identifying the sources of flight inefficiency from historical aircraft trajectories. A set of distance- and fuel-based performance indicators for post-operational analysis.
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessIn this paper a set of new performance indicators (PIs) aiming to capture the environmental impact of aircraft operations is proposed. Its contribution is threefold: optimal trajectories are computed to compare them with ... -
