Statistical modeling of aircraft engine fuel burn
Fuel burn is a key driver of aircraft performance, and contributes to airline costs and aviation emissions. While the trajectory (ground track) of a flight can be observed using surveillance systems, its fuel consumption is generally not disseminated by the operating airline. Emissions inventories …
