Abstract
Computer-implemented systems, methods, and computer-readable media for reducing operational costs relating to fuel burn of aircraft include receiving trip data including a plurality of airports, receiving operational data including a fuel price corresponding to each airport in the plurality of airports, and determining an amount of fuel to upload at each of the airports in the plurality of airports based at least in part on the operational data.
Claims20
A method, executed by one or more computing devices, for reducing operational costs relating to fuel burn of aircraft, the method comprising:
- receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, trip data including a plurality of airports, the plurality of airports including an origin airport, a destination airport, and one or more potential intermediate airports;
- receiving, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, operational data including a fuel price corresponding to each airport in the plurality of airports;
- calculating, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, one or more fuel burn amounts corresponding to the one or more potential intermediate airports, wherein each of the one or more fuel burn amounts corresponds to an amount of fuel required to stop at the corresponding potential intermediate airport;
- and
- determining, by at least one of the one or more computing devices, an amount of fuel to upload at each of the origin airport, the destination airport, and at least one of the one or more potential intermediate airports based at least in part on the operational data and the one or more fuel burn amounts.
A system for reducing operational costs relating to fuel burn of aircraft for a multi-stop flight comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more memories operatively coupled to at least one of the one or more processors and having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one of the one or more processors, cause at least one of the one or more processors to:
- receive trip data including a plurality of airports, the plurality of airports including an origin airport, a destination airport, and one or more potential intermediate airports;
- receive operational data including a fuel price corresponding to each airport in the plurality of airports;
- calculate one or more fuel burn amounts corresponding to the one or more potential intermediate airports, wherein each of the one or more fuel burn amounts corresponds to an amount of fuel required to stop at the corresponding potential intermediate airport;
- and
- determine an amount of fuel to upload at each of the origin airport, the destination airport, and at least one of the one or more potential intermediate airports based at least in part on the operational data and the one or more fuel burn amounts.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable code stored thereon for reducing operational costs relating to fuel burn of aircraft for a multi-stop flight that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause at least one of the one or more computing devices to:
- receive trip data including a plurality of airports, the plurality of airports including an origin airport, a destination airport, and one or more potential intermediate airports;
- receive operational data including a fuel price corresponding to each airport in the plurality of airports;
- calculate one or more fuel burn amounts corresponding to the one or more potential intermediate airports, wherein each of the one or more fuel burn amounts corresponds to an amount of fuel required to stop at the corresponding potential intermediate airport;
- and
- determine an amount of fuel to upload at each of the origin airport, the destination airport, and at least one of the one or more potential intermediate airports based at least in part on the operational data and the one or more fuel burn amounts.
