Abstract:

Cruise is the main flight phase for civil aircraft, and most of the fuel consumption, flight time and pollutants are consumed or produced in this phase. The pollutant emission calculation model and emission cost model are established based on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) basic emission data and BM2 methods. In order to consider the effect of pollution emission, the concepts of price weight for pollution emission, cost index emission factor and integrated cost index are proposed in this paper to improve the total flight cost model. Due to calculating and analyzing the influence of inputted cost index on flight cost, the optimum flow chart for calculating integrated cost index is established based on optimum search method. The emission calculation software is developed by Visual Studio for calculating the economic income for cruise flight using integrated cost index. Meanwhile, based on result data calculated by the software, the impacts of initial cruise mass, cost index and cruise altitude on flight cost are also analyzed. The results show that the flight cost can achieve the minimum by choosing adequate integrated cost index and cruise altitude, as other conditions are constant. Compared with traditional flight mode, the total flight cost can decrease 0.15% at given flight condition.

Key words: environmental pollution, cruise performance, integrated cost index, emission index, cruise altitude
