50 of the most used passenger aircraft have their fuel consumption modeled as a function of flight distance using a simplified analytical equation. The dataset, created by Nisa Lopez, Joel and hosted by Digital Library - Projects & Theses - Prof. Dr. Scholz, was last updated in May 2026. It includes fitted constants for each aircraft and an analysis of Intermediate Stop Operations showing potential fuel savings.
Use Cases
- Modeling aircraft fuel efficiency for flight planning based on the described bathtub curve function.
- Assessing potential fuel savings from Intermediate Stop Operations (ISO) strategies based on the route analysis.
- Comparing fuel consumption per passenger across different aircraft types for a given flight distance.
- Estimating environmental impact of passenger flights using the provided analytical approximation.
Strengths
- Covers 50 of the most used passenger aircraft types.
- Provides a simplified analytical equation for fast fuel consumption calculations.
- Includes a practical case study on the Perth–London route demonstrating a 7.4% fuel saving potential.
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Data freshness should be verified as the last update is dated 2026-05-05.
