  3. RESEARCH INTRODUCTION • Emissions have been a controversial subject • CO2 emission are directly related to fuel consumption (1 kg fuel = 3,15 kg CO2) • Reasons for fuel burn reduction: • Environmental Boundaries (ETS) • Scarcity of oil Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  4. RESEARCH INTRODUCTION - ETS Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  5. RESEARCH INTRODUCTION - OIL • Oil use – “A flame in the darkness” Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  6. RESEARCH INTRODUCTION • Aviation industry growth expectations: • Airbus: 4,9% passenger growth/year until 2025 • Boeing: 4,5% passenger growth/year until 2026 Source: Eurocontrol Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  7. RESEARCH INTRODUCTION • More passengers, improved efficiency: • Technological improvements Source: Airbus, Global Market Forecast 2006-2025 Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  8. RESEARCH INTRODUCTION • How to achieve fuel reduction on short term? • Adjust current operational procedures! • Can it be more efficient? • Yes it can! Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  9. FLIGHT STAGES Cruise Descent Climb Taxi Approach Take-off Landing Taxi Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  10. FLIGHT CONDITIONS • Weather conditions not taken into account • Standard flight operation Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  11. VIRGINS’ VIEW • Towing aircraft to the runway • Reduce time engines running before take-off • According to Virgin: 120.000 tonnes • Downturns: • Only applicable on relative small fleets • Not applicable on every airport Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  12. PRE-FLIGHT • Side effects: • INCREASE OF OPERATIONAL COSTS • A GPU also burns fuel Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  13. TAXI • Side effects: • NOT APPLICABLE ON SHORT TAXI TIMES • INCREASE OF MAINTENANCE COSTS Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  14. TAKE-OFF • Side effects: • LONGER RUNWAY TAKE-OFF LENGTH REQUIRED Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  15. CRUISE • Side effects: • LONGER FLIGHT TIME (AMS-HKG = 24 MIN.) Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  16. CRUISE • Side effects: • LONGER FLIGHT TIME Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  17. CRUISE • Side effects: • TOTAL FLIGHT SYSTEM RENEWABLE Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  18. APPROACH • Work in progress! • Side effects: • LONGER FLIGHT TIME • CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  19. AIRCRAFT WEIGHT • Weight reduction = fuel reduction Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  20. OVERVIEW Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  21. OVERVIEW Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  22. Conclusion • Estimated amount of CO2 reduction: 17,4 million kg/year Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  23. SUGGESTION • 10 years ago introduction of EU Open Skies • Currently, still not a “real one sky” airspace. • Implementation can be realized Amsterdam, 12-12-2007

  24. DIRECT ROUTING A B

  25. SUGGESTION • 10 years ago introduction of EU Open Skies • Currently, still not a “real one sky” airspace. • Implementation can be realized
