title = "Bi-objective pseudospectral optimal control techniques for aircraft trajectory optimisation",
abstract = "This paper presents the adoption of a number of optimisation techniques to solve aircraft trajectory optimisation problems formulated as optimal control problems. The adaptive bisection e{open}- constraint method is adapted to enable the solution of problems in which two performance indices are to be minimized simultaneously leading to the generation of Pareto frontiers. The techniques are applied to an aircraft trajectory optimisation problem in which a generic model of an Airbus A320 model aircraft is used. The problem involves the generation of a Pareto set of solutions which find a compromise between flight time and fuel consumption for a climb from 35 ft to a cruising level of 35,000 ft in a range of 900 km. The results are then analysed in-depth and corroborated with flight performance theory.",
