dc.description.abstract | Motivated by increasing fuel prices and a higher environmental awareness, a reduction
in aircraft cruise speed leads to fuel-burn benefits. However such a change will likely
not occur simultaneously fleet wide. Thus, it is likely that in future scenarios the
variation of speeds flown in the National Airspace System (NAS) will increase and
lead to a higher system complexity.
The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of reduced aircraft cruise
speed on the NAS. Using the airspace simulation tool FACET a set of scenarios has
been simulated to determine how a reduction of cruise speed will impact the number
of conflicts that occur in the NAS. | en_US |
