| Abstract | Aviation environmental models which conform to international guidance have advanced over the past several decades. Enhancements to algorithms and databases have increasingly shown these models to compare well with gold standard measured data. The Federal Aviation Administration’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool (AEDT) brings these enhancements into a new capability to investigate interdependencies within a single modeling environment. It provides an interactive environment to iterate noise modeling results relative to contributing aircraft events, as well as understand the fuel burn and emissions consequences of model scenarios. This paper presents an overview of the tool, including its capabilities to analyze the implications of technology and operational improvements planned for the next generation airspace system. An example is provided that illustrates how the tool may better inform aviation policymakers as they prepare for the significant growth expected in the aviation industry. |
