In this thesis, a study of the optimization of aircraft trajectories using parametric optimization theory is presented. To that end, an approach based on the use of predefined trajectory patterns and parametric optimization ...

The optimization of aircraft trajectories using the theory of singular optimal control is studied in this thesis. To describe the aircraft motion, a general nonlinear 3-degree-of-freedom point-mass model is adopted, along ...

This PhD thesis addresses the problem of aircraft conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) considering weather uncertainty. The general framework of this study is the development of methodologies to integrate weather ...
