Abstract

Aviation fuel consumption modelingWhy do we need accurate fuel consumption modeling methods?• Fuel is airline's greatest direct cost (more than labor) • Fuel consumption feeds directly into emission calculations • CO 2 and climate change concerns SAE A-21 Austin March 10, 2011 Current fuel consumption methods • EUROCONTROL's Base of Aircraft Data (BADA) -Thrust Specific Fuel Consumption (TSFC) • ICAO's mode-based method -Consumption is a function of aircraft type and altitude • ICAO's Time in Mode (TIM) method -Based on fixed times and fuel consumption during engine emission certification tests
