Abstract

A method for reducing fuel use by aircraft includes piloting the aircraft along a current path including a scheduled arrival time; measuring actual wind conditions experienced by the aircraft at a current location, including wind direction and speed; calculating current expected fuel consumption based on the actual conditions, the scheduled arrival time, and the planned distance; obtaining a measured condition from another aircraft, including wind direction and speed; providing the measured condition to the processor; calculating for each location in a group of possible locations, a plurality of modified paths to the destination, wherein each includes a respective location and a modified distance, and the scheduled arrival time; calculating for each modified path, a modified expected fuel consumption based on the respective condition and modified distance, and the scheduled arrival time; and identifying a preferred path based on the current expected fuel consumption and the modified expected fuel consumptions.
