F4EClim

The F4EClim project aims to address uncertainties tied to CO2, contrails, NOx induced changes in ozone/methane, and water vapor climate effects. To do so, it involves improving algorithmic climate change functions (aCCFs) in terms of seasonal and geographical expansions, incorporating representative climate metrics and addressing the uncertainties of non-CO2 climate effects. These advancements will feed into a climate service for the aviation community. Additionally, the project will explore aviation's potential to reduce its climate impact through the development of robust flight planning algorithms. These algorithms will identify eco-efficient aircraft trajectories, assessing the associated climate impact reduction and costs. The project is supported by the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking and its members under grant agreement No 101167020.
