| Abstract | This report documents a rotorcraft performance model for use in the FAA’s Aviation Environmental Design Tool. The new rotorcraft performance model is physics-based. This new model replaces the existing helicopter trajectory modeling methods in the Aviation Environmental Design Tool which were mode-based. The new methods enable fuel consumption and emissions modeling based on the performance data derived from information found in the helicopters’ flight manuals. |
