First 4-D ATM Technology Demo

摘要

Airbus in February conducted what it called the world's first flight using a four-dimensional optimized and upgraded air traffic management (ATM) technology to fly more accurate and efficient routes.rnOnce proven and industrialized, the 4-D approach will allow aircraft to plan and fly an optimized and efficient profile without any need for the controllers to provide any vectoring instruction. This will bring better predictability of the traffic flows and facilitate Continuous Descent Operations into airports. The end result being a reduction in fuel burn and emissions, which is in line with NextGen and SESAR.
