From: Development and implementation of an emission optimization model for passenger flight bookings
Parameter | Description | Unit |
|---|---|---|
U | Emission measured in CO2 | kg |
C | CO2 conversion factor: 3.15 kg CO2 equals 1 kg aviation fuel (JET A1). | kg/kg |
LTO | Fuel consumption for landing, takeoff and taxi, measured in kg aviation fuel (JET A1) | kg |
CCD | Fuel consumption for climb, cruise and descent measured in kg aviation fuel (JET A1) per km travel. | kg/km |
D | Distance | km |
S | Sharklet/Winglet-variabel: 0.95/1 L aviation fuel per liter aviation fuel. | L/L |
F | High altitude factor: 1.9 kg CO2 per 1 kg CO2. | kg/kg |
P | Seating configuration (total seats). | – |
B | Passenger cabin factor (percentage sold seats). | – |
