Abstract
Aircraft Vertical Profile Simulation is Realized using a Demand-Driven Minimal-Calculation Directed Graph Structure to Reduce Calculation Time and to Force Synchronization of the Performance Measurement Functions with the System State Variables. Performance-Directed Model Adaptation Makes Dynamic Vertical Profile Path Corrections, in the Presence of Fixed Drag Variations, Possible. Drag Variations Ranging from + 10 Percent to - 10 Percent Yielded Fuel Consumption Improvements of Less Than 1 Percent in the Majority of the Cases. Calculation Time Improvement for Path Simulation Ranges from a Factor of 1.19 in the Worst Case to 1.5 in the Best Case. © 1988 IEEE
