Abstract

For the coming years, the commercial air transport industry will have to take up the huge challenge of both reducing the costs associated to the aircraft fuel consumption and reduce the global air transport environmental footprint. Reaching these two objectives leads to the reduction of the fuel consumption, the reduction of the pollutant emissions (specifically CO2 and NOx emissions), and the reduction of noise emissions.
