An estimation method for the fuel burn and other performance characteristics of civil transport aircraft; part 3 full flight profile when the trajectory is specified Open
If an aircraft’s initial mass, the variation of true airspeed, true rate of climb, wind speed and wind direction with time and the relationship between barometric altitude and local temperature are known, the performance along the entire f…

A simple model for the estimation of turbofan engine performance in all airborne phases of flight Open
The overall efficiency of a turbofan engine may be expressed as a function of the Mach number, flight level and one other parameter. This may be either the net thrust, the turbine entry temperature or the fuel flow rate. Using basic aero-t…

On the conditions for absolute minimum fuel burn for turbofan powered, civil transport aircraft and a simple model for wave drag Open
In a recent series of papers, Poll and Schumann have been developing a simple model for estimating fuel burn for turbofan powered, civil transport aircraft for a given mass, Mach number and flight level and in a specified ambient temperatu…

An estimation method for the fuel burn and other performance characteristics of civil transport aircraft in the cruise. Part 1 fundamental quantities and governing relations for a general atmosphere Open
This paper is one of a series addressing the need for simple, yet accurate, methods for the estimation of cruise fuel burn and other important aircraft performance parameters. Here, a previously published, constant Reynolds number model fo…
