  1. The NOx Global Prototype Ted Thrasher March 6, 2006

  2. Overview • The Team • The Objective • The Approach • The Result • The Context for AEDT

  3. The Team • The NOx Prototype Development Team: • FAA Office of Environment and Energy (sponsor) • USDOT Volpe Center • ATAC Corporation • CSSI, Inc. • Wyle Laboratories

  4. The Objective • Develop a system for assessing aviation noise and emissions interdependencies • The 35th Session of the ICAO Assembly (A35) established 6 Strategic Objectives to “achieve its vision of safe, secure and sustainable development of civil aviation through cooperation amongst its member States” • Strategic Objective C, Environmental Protection • Minimize the adverse effect of global civil aviation on the environment, will be attained, in part, by developing, adopting, and promoting new or amended measures to: • limit or reduce the number of people affected by significant aircraft noise • limit or reduce the impact of aviation emissions on local air quality; and • limit or reduce the impact of aviation greenhouse gas emissions on the global climate • Demonstrate the ability to model the effects of imposing an emissions stringency on aircraft • Demonstrate progress toward developing a suite of tools to assess noise and emissions interdependencies

  5. The Approach • Derived schedule of operations • Baseline and future cases • Developed replacements database • Compiled an airport database • New software to • Model delays • Model aircraft performance • Model aircraft emissions • Generate reports

  6. Operations • Modified existing software to apply the FESG forecast to • Actual operations (ETMS) and • Scheduled operations (IOAG) • Resulted in a schedule of operations • For emissions, the exact aircraft/engine combination is necessary • Registration data used to determine distribution of airframe/engine combinations based on generic ETMS/IOAG types • Example: American Airlines B752 = 11% B757-200 with PW2037 engines 2% B757-200 with PW2040 engines 87% B757-200 with RB211-535E4-B engines • Origin and Destination airport information preserved • Takeoff weight estimated based on trip length

  7. Replacements Database • Fleet registration data provided aircraft age • Developed a database of aircraft replacements for future scenarios based on available FESG data

  8. Airport Database • Airport database developed with global coverage (32,000+ airports) • Key parameters for NOx Prototype • Airport elevation • Average annual temperature • Average annual pressure • Average annual humidity • Supports aircraft performance calculations • Input to Boeing Fuel Flow Method 2 for emissions • Multiple identifiers for the same airport • IOAG uses IATA (non-unique) identifier + country • ETMS uses ICAO, FAA, and IATA • Airport database was needed to resolve airport ambiguities

  9. Delay Modeling • Where airport capacity data were available, taxi-in/out times were calculated in 1-hour increments, aggregated to annual average values • Airborne arrival delays were also computed

  10. Aircraft Performance BADA Only Using SAGE SAE-AIR-1845 Performance + BADA Fuel Using EDMS

  11. Emissions Calculations • Emissions were modeled gate-to-gate • Boeing Fuel Flow Method 2 was used for computing emissions

  12. Generate Reports • A reporting module was developed to automate the report generation process • Implemented in EDMS • Accepts emissions results from SAGE and aggregates with EDMS • Output is HTML that can be copied into Excel for plotting results

  13. The Result • Comprehensive modeling demonstration • Emissions inventory for the global fleet • NOx, CO2, H2O • 2002, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020 • 5 – 30% NOx stringencies • 3,000 feet and below, 10,000 feet and below, total flight

  14. Looking Beyond the LTO • Entire flight = 100% • LTO only captures 10% of NOx * Preliminary data. Do not cite or quote.

  15. Context for AEDT • NOx Prototype is a huge step toward a noise/emissions tradeoff capability • In the past year • Harmonized data between EDMS, INM, MAGENTA, SAGE • Airports • Fleet • Harmonized performance calculations • Harmonized emissions calculations

  16. Context for AEDT (continued) • All 4 core modules of AEDT can “talk” at some level emissions below 3k reports EDS AEDT Emissions Noise performance INM EDMS emissions above 10k weights @ 3k ops delays ops MAGENTA SAGE APMT

  17. Context for AEDT (concluded) • CDA prototype will continue the evolution toward AEDT • Distributed modules of AEDT benefit from NOx Prototype • EDMS 5.0 beta used as the NOx Prototype (below 10,000 feet) platform • INM 7 will include harmonized system tables
