de Wilde, Jasper (author)
To overcome the disadvantages of radar vectors and to improve efficiency and safety of terminal airspace operations, EUROCONTROL has proposed the so-called Point Merge System (PMS) technique for merging inbound traffic flows. As the PMS provides better predictability, it can potentially offer significant fuel and environmental benefits as well...

In the year 2050, global anthropogenic radiative forcing from aircraft emissions are projected to increase significantly. Recent studies have considered climate optimized flight trajectories to be a promising measure to mitigate non-CO2 emissions’ environmental impact, which is highly sensitive to locus and time of emissions. Estimating the...

Preface In the wake of the economical crisis of 2008, the shipping industry changed from a very profitable industry to a struggling one, aiming to optimize vessel operations in order to survive. Theories regarding route optimization based on weather and oceanic currents exist, but only few reliable industrial applications can be found. This,...

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) are becoming more and more popular with an increasing number of companies using them in the fields of precision agriculture, emergency delivery of medical aid and preventive maintenance. Trials are being made to extend their use to public safety, monitoring traffic, providing internet and even air taxi...

Condensation trails, or contrails in short, are the white lines that can often be seen trailing high-altitude jet aircraft. Due to their interference with the local energy balance of the atmosphere they contribute to anthropogenic climate change. Research has shown strategies with great contrail mitigation potential at relatively small fuel and...

The popularity of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) is growing at an increasing rate as an alternative to manned aviation for different purposes and applications. So far, most of their operations have been of military character, but the demand for civil and commercial applications is growing exponentially. RPAS have been allowed to...

A minimization of disturbance caused by aircraft noise events and a reduction of fuel consumption during the initial and final phase of flight. These are the two objectives that play an important role in the Flexible Runway Allocation Model. By taking into account fuel consumption alongside noise annoyance, this model enables to analyze and...

A study into the operational and economic feasibility of a hydrogen-powered ultra-large cargo aeroplane. This innovative concept aims to revolutionise long-distance freight transportation by offering low air freight rates through economies of scale and unpressurised transport. The aeroplane will have a payload capacity of 1200 tonnes and will...

Doole, M.M. (author)
This thesis investigates the concept of fuel-reduction via formation flight of long-haul commercial aircraft on a network-wide scale, particularly addressing the issue of combinatorial complexity in global formation routing and allocation. A multi-stage formation flight planning (MS-FFLIP) tool is proposed as a computationally tractable approach...

Snoeij, V. (author)
Over the years gradually flight management systems have been added to airplanes which reduce pilot workload and increase safety. These systems however do not provide an adequate response when in an emergency situation the aircraft loses all thrust. A system that creates glide trajectories to airports that are reachable would enable pilots to...

A tool is developed that is able to optimize the trajectories of multiple aircraft that fly in formation in order to obtain the minimum total fuel consumption. Several experiments are conducted to investigate the benefits of formation flight for commercial aircraft. Finally, also the influences of wind and delay on the trajectories of the...

Ceulemans, B. (author)
Currently, only one Standard Instrument Departure (SID) track and one flight procedure is used per runway departure fix combination. In contrast to tailored arrivals, the potential benefit of tailored departures has been left relatively undiscovered. The research objective is to quantify the potential benefit of tailored SID-s and profile...

Runway capacity of a complex runways system can be limited by several factors. Currently, the runway usage at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AAS) is described by a preference list established by multiple stakeholders. It makes an important trade-off between minimizing noise exposure to the environment and maximizing capacity. The existing model...

Air tra?c has been growing rapidly for the past few decades and will continue to do so. Airports need to be able to coop with this increase, and thus increase their own capacity. However, due to the landing and departure operations, which take place at low altitudes, high noise levels are generated and a?ect the neighboring communities. This in...

A model has been developed to demonstrate the value of a decentralized approach to formation flight routing. In the considered scenario, formation flight is an in-flight option. While centralized approaches are well covered in the literature, anticipating the use of formation flight before take-off, decentralized approaches have received less...

Wolff, M.B. (author)
Transatlantic flight operations are, due to the absence of radar-based surveillance, the influence of the polar jet stream and the highly directional traffic peaks, significantly different compared to continental flight operations. To safely accommodate all transatlantic traffic in the North Atlantic oceanic airspace the Organized Track System ...
