New Methodology for Aircraft Performance Model Identification for Flight Management System Applications

What is it about?

The aim of this research is to find an ''integrated aircraft and propulsive engine performance model''. This model will be obtained based on a minimum available data, that would be easily available from the literature. In addition, this model will be also designed based on flight mechanics basic equations and thus, it will possible to be employed by many users. The ''fuel flow'' will be one of the model main outputs. The design of this model is important because of the fact that fuel flow could be minimized through its use for ''green aircraft technologies'' improvement. This work was validated using a research aircraft flight simulator equipped with the highest level certified flight dynamics toolbox for the Cessna Citation X business aircraft.
