4 Background MISSION PLANNING planning & Scheduling resource Allocation sequencing time scale 1 hr PATH PLANNING navigation weather avoidance collision avoidance time scale 1 min TRAJECTORY GENERATION guidance, waypoint navigation time scale 1s TRAJECTORY FOLLOWING control & stabilization time scale.1s
5 Fuel cons. vs speed [knots.kg/s] Background finding optimal trajectories is a well-known problem studied since the beginning of aviation aircraft fuel efficient trajectories can be defined in terms of optimal climb and descent profiles cruise altitude and speed modified for weather and wind conditions Mach Altitude [ft] 4 x 1 4
6 Trajectory planning using optimal control Find the controls and system dynamics that results in the best possible trajectory x t u t = f x t, u t, t while respecting all necessary constraints x lb t < x t < x ub t f x t, u t, t model
7 Flight Planning flight plan is translated into a series of intermediate actions to be fulfilled by the aircraft and a set of rules to be followed ground track take off from RWY 18 cross DF197 fly to DF16 fly to ROSIG fly to DF21 fly to DONAB fly to SOBRA flight profile take off from RWY 18 retract flaps to 1 at F speed retract flaps to at S speed climb to cruise altitude flight rules keep speed below 25 KIAS until FL1 keep speed below Mach.82 keep Mach above buffeting-onset speed keep bank angle under 35 (25 for TO/LD) vertical acceleration under 5ft/s²
8 Altitude [ft] Flight Planning the set of actions and rules is parsed into a multiple phase optimal control problem, and solved using a pseudospectral colocation method Distance [NMI]

28 Conclusions Optimization based approaches have the potential to reduce environmental impact of flying from existing aircrafts Translation of flight problem into an OCP, to be solved using existing optimization tools and framework (GPOPS/SNOPT/WORHP): no need to build custom solver, well-studied problem, continued improvement in solvers Challenges: how to best implement the interface between Pilot/ATM and the trajectory optimization and to integrate a self-defined trajectory into the ATC scenario how to communicate changes and receive updates (the more information we have, the closer to the real optimal we can be) how to certify
