Optimal Aircraft Path Planning Considering Wind Uncertainty. En 7th European Conference for Aeronautics and Space Sciences (EUCASS 2017 Conference) (1-11), Milán: The European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences (EUCASS).https://hdl.handle.net/11441/104312The optimization of the aircraft route taking into account wind uncertainty is addressed in this work. The wind uncertainty is obtained from ensemble weather forecasts. A structured airspace is considered, which is defined by a set of waypoints and a set of allowed connections between each pair of waypoints. The analysis is focused on a cruise flight composed of several segments connecting certain waypoints. The optimal route is seen as a path in a graph; therefore, it is obtained by applying a Dijkstra algorithm, following a stochastic approach. Results are presented for a model of B767-300 aircraft, for a given trans-oceanic route, considering a real ensemble weather forecast, and with the objective of minimizing the average total fuel consumption.application/pdf11 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Traffic FlowAir Traffic ManagementFlight Plansinfo:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.13009/EUCASS2017-254
