- This presents a new optimisation framework for airport ground operations integrating environmental assessment and economic analysis. Fuel burnt during taxiing represents up to 6% of fuel consumption for short-haul flights; our proposed approach is predicted to save ~20% of these costs. The study led to a £1M EPSRC ‘Transit Projects’ (EP/N029496/1), an international academic-industry programme involving several universities with e.g. Rolls Royce, Air France KLM, BAE Systems (Locatelli is on advisory board: https://www.transitproject.co.uk/advisory-board/). Given the environmental and economic implications the research has been covered by Forbes (https://tinyurl.com/y3ccaevz).
