Arrival Trajectory Optimization for Passenger Aircraft using Genetic Algorithms

This work concentrates on the development of an optimization technique which is capable of minimizing the noise impact of an arriving aircraft by optimizing its flight trajectory. Actions needed from pilots to gradually establish the landing configuration are considered because it is expected that the pilot workload throughout this phase should...

Arrival Trajectory Optimization on Noise Impact using Interval Analysis

The CleanEra project is initiated by the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology. Significant reduction of noise impact on perimeters of airports via arrival trajectory optimization is considered as one of the major targets of the project. In this paper, an aircraft model and its acoustic performance are introduced to...
