Optimal routing and assignment for commercial formation flight
This thesis investigates the notion of fuel-reduction through formation flight for commercial aircraft, addressing the problems of global routing and assignment. A two stage centralised approach is presented, firstly, assuming a reduction in observed cost by flying in formation the routes, including...
