A Comprehensive Survey on Climate Optimal Aircraft Trajectory Planning

The strong growth rate of the aviation industry in recent years has created significant challenges terms environmental impact. Air traffic contributes to climate change through emission carbon dioxide (CO2) and other non-CO2 effects, associated impact is expected soar further. mitigation CO2 contributions net can be achieved using novel propulsion, jet fuels, continuous improvements aircraft efficiency, whose solutions lack immediacy. On hand, with emissions, being responsible for two-thirds radiative forcing, varies highly geographic location, altitude, time emission. Consequently, these effects reduced by planning proper climate-aware trajectories. To investigate possibilities, this paper presents a survey on operational strategies proposed literature mitigate aviation’s These approaches are classified based their methodology, metrics, reliability, applicability. Drawing upon analysis, future lines research topic delineated.
