Abstract

We developed and implemented a novel algorithm to control the trajectory of an aircraft flight to reduce the costs it incurs. Our algorithm computes the values for the parameters to be entered into the aircraft’s flight management system to minimize the fuel and schedule-adherence costs incurred on the flight. We implemented it in a prototype software system that is currently in use at GE Aviation Services.
