Cost of Weight (CoW) and Aircraft Performance

• Airbus’ Performance Engineering Programme:
Light weight
• Powerful software tool comprised of several modules. seat covers,
• Uses Airbus’ aircraft performance reference data. carpet, cargo
containers?

• Used by airline’s flight operations

aircraft performance teams.
• Can calculate impact on fuel
consumption of a given weight
change on a specific route.
• Monitors aircraft performance and
its degradation with time.

Tool to accurately assess value of weight reduction

Data: fuel efficiency programme foundation

Delivering and sustaining fuel efficient operations
requires data:
• to identify opportunities,
• to identify problems,
• to monitor and promote fuel efficient operations.

Data set examples:

• APU utilisation
• Taxi times
• Engine thrust settings
• Flight profile speeds and altitudes
• Fuel consumption per flight phase
• Comparison of actual versus planned flight parameters
• Weight & Balance Parameters

Data collection is a crucial activity

Industry Actors

• Fuel and Flight Efficiency can only be fully delivered

when all industry actors work together:
• Manufacturers’ design and build, with its suppliers,
aircraft which remain cost efficient throughout their lives.

• Aircraft Operators operate those aircraft in the most

efficient way.

• Air Traffic Management authorities and airports

provide an infrastructure that allows aircraft operators to
use their aircraft in the most efficient way.

• Regional, national and local governments create

environments where these objectives can be achieved.

Summary and Conclusion

• Ways to save fuel are well known, but the
savings:
• must be balanced against all the costs,
• can only be realised when the initiative is fully deployed and
sustained.

• Airbus continues to:

• offer highly competitive aircraft…
• …accompanied by support and services to help operators use them
in the most efficient way possible,
• work with infrastructure providers to maximise the opportunities for
efficient operations.
