Abstract
The European air transport system, presently close to its limit, is facing the challenge of a continuously growing demand with a wish of sustainable and economically viable development. The air transport industry is aware that it needs in particular to significantly reduce its environmental impact. In this context, the Infrastructure for Evaluating Air Transport Systems (IESTA) aims to gather the multidisciplinary knowledge of the aeronautical research in physical modelling guarantying the ability of the evaluation platform to handle innovative concepts. Complementary to real time simulators with operator in the loop, IESTA intents to go further than existing evaluation platforms mainly based on existing software limited to current traffic modelling and simulation. The first application of IESTA is focused on the environmental (acoustic and chemical) impact of air traffic surrounding airports. The different kinds of acoustic and chemical results that IESTA can provide depending on user needs are presented here.
