Fuel saving by optimizing airplanes trajectories

We have a collaboration with the startup Safety Line on the optimization of trajectories for civil aircrafts. Key points include the reliable identification of the plane parameters (aerodynamic and thrust models) using data from the flight recorders, and the robust trajectory optimization of the climbing and cruise phases. We use both local (quasi-Newton interior-point algorithms) and global optimization tools (dynamic programming).
