Software Testing Best Flight Path

Software


NASA Langley researchers are using a Piaggio P.180 Avanti, owned and operated by AdvAero, to test computer software that allows pilots to update flight paths to improve their efficiency.

Airline pilots are flying out of Newport News Williamsburg International Airport so they can assess the technology in the air.

Defense Applications
The key to AdvAero’s value in the defense sector is the application of our unique combination of experience, independence, tools and methods to optimize our customers’ programs and reduce their risk in a completely open manner.

The Piaggio P180 Avanti is an Italian executive transport aircraft with twin turboprop engines mounted in pusher configuration.[3] It seats up to nine passengers in a pressurized cabin, and may be flown by one or two pilots. The design is ofthree-surface configuration, having both a small forward wing and a conventional tail plane as well as its main wing, with the wing spars passing outside of the passenger cabin area.

Nothing new...Flight paths are calculated using forecast wind data hence they some times do encounter unfavourable winds and temperature.

If this software is going to provide real time winds it is still not 100% accurate because atmosphere is fluid in nature. It does not stay the same.
