Standard flight procedures for climb, cruise and descent, commonly flown by commercial aircraft, are analyzed, and the optimality of their performance is assessed by comparison with the perfor- mance of optimal trajectories, which are computed using the theory of singular optimal control. Three flight procedures are studied: CAS/Mach climb, constant-Mach cruise with fixed arrival time, and constant-CAS unpowered descent. The optimality criteria selected are minimum fuel consumption for climb and cruise, and maximum horizontal distance travelled for descent. Results are presented for a model of a Boeing 767-300ER |
