Abstract
The environmental and economic impact of new aircraft is a function of both aircraft performance and the airline’s use of new and existing aircraft, so the tool used to study the impact of new aircraft concepts and technologies need to incorporate not only the performance of the new aircraft, but also how these new and existing aircraft are used by the airlines. The Fleet Level Environmental Evaluation Tool (FLEET) uses an aircraft allocation model to study the impact of new aircraft on eet-level metrics. In order to run meaningful \what-if studies, the aircraft allocation must be done quickly and also replicate real-world airline behavior as well as possible. This paper looks at various problem formulations of the aircraft allocation problem. A prot maximizing objective function with bounded inequality constraints on passenger demand yielded the best results in terms of quality and solve time.
