The maritime industry is one of the most competitive industries today. However, there a tendency for profit margins shipping companies to reduce due an increase in operational costs, and it does not seem that this trend will change near future. important reason operating costs relates fuel prices. To compensate can either renew their fleet or try make use new technologies optimize performance e...

The objective of this paper is to develop a model and a minimization method to provide flight path optimums reducing aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports. Optimization algorithm has solved a complex optimal control problem, and generates flight paths minimizing aircraft noise levels. Operational and safety constraints have been considered and their limits satisfied. Results are here prese...
