Abstract
A method and system for the prediction of aircrafts vertical trajectory, in particular for Air Traffic Management, using the following flight calculation modules: Take-off; Climb; Cruise; Descent; and Landing, corresponding to the relevant flight phases, in which:
- the calculation of the predicted aircraft trajectory is effected by using a set of TEM equations using, as output variables, the vertical rate of climb or descent, the true air speed, the energy share factor, the thrust and the drag, the mass of the aircraft modeled as point-mass, and using, as input variables, the Mach number depending on true air speed and temperature and altitude, the gravity acceleration, and the fuel flow, and the flight path angle;the calculation of the predicted aircraft trajectory for Cruise phase, wherein only the mass is varies, is performed by using the following analytical solution to said set of TEM equations.
