Abstract

Fuel expense accounts for the largest share of aviation operating cost, and lack of fuel or dry cargo is one of the main factors for aviation accidents. The present work aims to develop a nonlinear programming to obtain with tankering the minimization of the total cost, observing the flight rule, and the aircraft operational and physical restrictions.
A simulation of four flights was carried out to find out the amount of fuel to be supplied at each stage, and the result showed a savings of 1.7% compared to the minimum necessary supply to the regulatory quantity. From this study, online applications can be developed to facilitate the insertion of the necessary data and simplify the involved processes of flight planning.
