Reduced Order Models
jetfuelburn.reducedorder ¶
aim2015 ¶
Reduced-order fuel burn model based on Dray et al. (2019).
The class implements the reduced-order fuel burn model of the AIM2015 air transport model (part "Aircraft Performance Model"):
In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a regression model. The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained by simulating flights using the PianoX software.
Fuel burn is calculated according to Section 3.4.1 of the AIM2015 documentation:
where subscripts \(t,s,p\) denote aircraft \(t\)ype, \(s\)ize class and flight \(p\)hase and where:
| Symbol | Dimension | Description |
|---|---|---|
| \(I\) | [dimensionless] | non-linear inefficiency parameter |
| \(D\) | [length] | distance flown in flight phase |
| \(PL\) | [mass] | payload mass |
| \(\eta\) | varies | regression coefficients |
For information on the inefficiency parameter \(I\), see the conference publication of Reynolds (2009).
Notes
Data is available for 8 aircraft size classes, as defined in the AIM2015 documentation, Section 2.3, Table 1:
| Index | Size Category | PAX Number | Reference Aircraft | Reference Engine |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Small Regional Jet | 30-69 | CRJ 700 | GE CF34 8C5B1 |
| 2 | Large Regional Jet | 70-109 | Embraer 190 | GE CF34 10E6 |
| 3 | Small Narrowbody | 110-129 | Airbus A319 | V.2522 |
| 4 | Medium Narrowbody | 130-159 | Airbus A320 | CFM56-5B4 |
| 5 | Large Narrowbody | 160-199 | Boeing 737-800 | CFM56-7B27 |
| 6 | Small Twin Aisle | 200-249 | Boeing 787-800 | GEnx-1B67 |
| 7 | Medium Twin Aisle | 259-299 | Airbus A330-300 | Trent 772B |
| 8 | Large Twin Aisle | 300-399 | Boeing 777-300ER | PW4090 |
Key assumptions of this fuel calculation function:
| Parameter | Assumption |
|---|---|
| data availability | 8 selected aircraft, which can be used as proxies within their weight class |
| aircraft payload | variable |
| climb/descent | considered separately |
| reserve fuel uplift | considered implicitly (?) |
| diversion fuel uplift | considered implicitly (?) |
Warnings
While the AIM2015 documentation lists the Boeing 777-300ER using the PW4090 engine, this aircraft variant was exclusively powered by GE90 engines.

eea_emission_inventory_2009 ¶
The class implements the reduced-order fuel burn model of the EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook (2009).
In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a regression model. The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained by simulating flights using the PianoX software.
Key assumptions of this fuel calculation function:
| Parameter | Assumption |
|---|---|
| data availability | 19 selected aircraft |
| aircraft payload | fixed, unclear |
| climb/descent | not considered separately |
| reserve fuel uplift | considered implicitly (?) |
| diversion fuel uplift | considered implicitly (?) |
Notes
Data on military and transport aircraft from the sub-table 1.A.3.a Aviation vs2.3spreadsheet2-1updated2007.xlsx
used with permission
by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (foi.se). Note that this data may be a poor representation of
newer variants of the same aircraft types.
Warnings
Note that only EEA data between 1999-2009 was based on Piano simulations, as documented in the Aviation_annex.zip file.
Later versions of the EEA guidebook (2013, 2016, 2019, 2023) instead use the Eurocontrol Advanced Emission Model (AEM), as documented in the respective guidebook files.
These later models could not be incorporated into jetfuelburn for licensing reasons.

lee_etal ¶
This class implements the the reduced-order fuel burn model of Lee et al. (2010).
In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a regression model. The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained from a combination of Eurocontrol BADA flight trajectory simulation model and the Breguet range equation. Climb segment fuel burn is calculated using the Eurocontrol BADA model. Descent segment fuel burn is assumed equal to cruise segment fuel burn. Cruise segment fuel burn is calculated using the Breguet range equation.
For the equations implemented in this class, see Lee et al. (2010), Eqns.(13)ff. and Figure 5.
Notes
Key assumptions of this fuel calculation function:
| Parameter | Assumption |
|---|---|
| data availability | 21 selected aircraft |
| aircraft payload | variable |
| climb/descent | considered implicitly |
| reserve fuel uplift | assumed constant at 0.08 zero-fuel weight (cf. P.4) |
| diversion fuel uplift | unclear (cf. P.4) |

montlaur_etal ¶
This class implements the reduced-order fuel burn model of Montlaur et al. (2025):
In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a regression model. The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained from the Eurocontrol IMPACT model.
Fuel burn is calculated according to the function compute_fuel_ask() in the code supplement
to Montlaur et al. (2025):
where:
| Symbol | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| \(F/ASK\) | [mass] / ([length] \(\cdot\) [seats]) | Fuel per Available Seat Kilometer |
| \(D\) | [length] | Flight distance |
| \(S\) | [dimensionless] | Number of available seats |
| \(\beta_{0-4}\) | varies | Regression coefficients |

This class implements the reduced-order fuel burn model of Sacchi et al. (2023):
In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a weight-based power law. The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained from the European Environmental Agency EMEP/EEA air pollutant emission inventory guidebook - 2013 which in turn is based on a combination of Eurocontrol BADA flight trajectory simulation model data and the ICAO Engine Emissions Databank (EDB). Cruise segment fuel burn is calculated using the Eurocontrol BADA model. Climb and descent segment fuel burn is calculated using the values provided in the ICAO Engine Emissions Databank.
Fuel burn is calculated according to Supplement 1 of Sacchi et al. (2023):
where:
| Symbol | Dimension | Description |
|---|---|---|
| \(F_{total}\) | [mass] | Total fuel consumption of the flight |
| \(W\) | [mass] | Operating empty weight of the aircraft |

Reduced-order fuel burn model based on Seymour et al. (2020).
In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a regression model. The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained from the Eurocontrol BADA flight trajectory simulation model and climb/descent fuel burn data based on engine data.
Fuel burn is calculated according to Table M.7 in the supplement to Seymour et al. (2020):
where:
| Symbol | Dimension | Description |
|---|---|---|
| \(F\) | [mass] | Fuel required for the mission of the aircraft |
| \(R\) | [distance] | Range of the aircraft (=mission distance) |
| \(a_1\) | [mass/distance²] | Regression coefficient for range squared |
| \(a_2\) | [mass/distance] | Regression coefficient for range |
| \(c\) | [mass] | Constant term |
Warnings
Note that the regression coefficients provided in Table M.7 of the Supplementary Information of Seymour et al. (2020) are not always consistent with the regression coefficients provided in the GitHub repository. For instance:
| reduced_fuel_a1 | reduced_fuel_a2 | reduced_fuel_intercept | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Table M.7 | 7.13e-05 | 2.94 | 1275 |
GitHub .csv |
7.378617475106708e-05 | 2.920849872328848 | 1218.8211966548952 |
This implementation uses the coefficients provided in the GitHub .csv file.
Warnings
Note that Seymour et al. in the Disclaimers section of their publication mention, that:
The fuel burn models provided in (...) [the supplementary information] shall not be used for comparing fuel efficiency and emission data between aircraft models and manufacturers. Recommended model applications are reported in Section 3.5.
Section 3.5 then mentions as potential applications:
(...) computing global CO2 emissions using the reduced order models (...) [and] (...) fleet turnover and flight route projections can be combined to create any number of future flight movement scenarios which together with the reduced order models can be leveraged to generate valuable insights.
Notes
Key assumptions of this fuel calculation function:
| Parameter | Assumption |
|---|---|
| data availability | 133 selected aircraft |
| aircraft payload | assumed to be average for each aircraft type |
| climb/descent | considered implicitly |
| reserve fuel uplift | considered implicitly, according to ICAO requirements |
| diversion fuel uplift | considered implicitly, according to ICAO requirements |

Reduced-order fuel burn model based on Seymour et al. (2020).

In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a regression model.
The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained
from the Eurocontrol BADA flight trajectory simulation model and climb/descent fuel burn data based on engine data.
Fuel burn is calculated according to Table M.7 in the supplement to Seymour et al. (2020):
$$
F=a_1 \cdot R^2 + a_2 \cdot R + c
$$
where:
| Symbol | Dimension | Description |
|------------|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
| $F$ | [mass] | Fuel required for the mission of the aircraft |
| $R$ | [distance] | Range of the aircraft (=mission distance) |
| $a_1$ | [mass/distance²] | Regression coefficient for range squared |
| $a_2$ | [mass/distance] | Regression coefficient for range |
| $c$ | [mass] | Constant term |
Warnings
--------
Note that the regression coefficients provided in Table M.7 of the Supplementary Information
of Seymour et al. (2020) are not always consistent with the regression coefficients provided in the GitHub repository.
For instance:
| | reduced_fuel_a1 | reduced_fuel_a2 | reduced_fuel_intercept |
|-------------------|-----------------------|-------------------|------------------------|
| **Table M.7** | 7.13e-05 | 2.94 | 1275 |
| **GitHub** `.csv` | 7.378617475106708e-05 | 2.920849872328848 | 1218.8211966548952 |
This implementation uses the coefficients provided in the GitHub `.csv` file.
Warnings
--------
Note that Seymour et al. in the Disclaimers section of their publication mention, that:
> The fuel burn models provided in (...) [the supplementary information] shall not be used for
> comparing fuel efficiency and emission data between aircraft models and manufacturers.
> Recommended model applications are reported in Section 3.5.
Section 3.5 then mentions as potential applications:
> (...) computing global CO2 emissions using the reduced order models (...) [and]
> (...) fleet turnover and flight route projections can be combined to create any
> number of future flight movement scenarios which together with the reduced order models can be leveraged to generate valuable insights.
Notes
-----
Key assumptions of this fuel calculation function:
| Parameter | Assumption |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| data availability | 133 selected aircraft |
| aircraft payload | assumed to be average for each aircraft type |
| climb/descent | considered implicitly |
| reserve fuel uplift | considered implicitly, according to ICAO requirements |
| diversion fuel uplift | considered implicitly, according to ICAO requirements |

This class implements the the reduced-order fuel burn model of Yanto and Liem (2017):
In this model, fuel burn calculations are based on a regression model. The regression coefficients were obtained by fitting mission parameters to fuel burn data obtained from a combination of Eurocontrol BADA flight trajectory simulation model and the Breguet range equation. Climb and descent segment fuel burn is calculated using the Eurocontrol BADA model. Cruise segment fuel burn is calculated using the Breguet range equation.
Fuel burn is calculated according to Table 5 in Yanto and Liem (2017):
where:
| Symbol | Dimension | Description |
|---|---|---|
| \(W_f\) | [mass] | Fuel required for the mission of the aircraft |
| \(R\) | [distance] | Range of the aircraft (=mission distance) |
| \(PL\) | [mass] | Payload mass of the aircraft |
| \(c_R\) | [mass/distance] | Regression coefficient for range |
| \(c_P\) | [mass/mass] | Regression coefficient for payload |
| \(c_C\) | [mass] | Constant term |
Notes
Key assumptions of this fuel calculation function:
| Parameter | Assumption |
|---|---|
| data availability | 37 selected aircraft |
| aircraft payload | variable |
| climb/descent | considered implicitly |
| reserve fuel uplift | assumed constant at "0.08 zero-fuel weight" (cf. P.577) |
| diversion fuel uplift | unknown |

Warnings
The x-axis of all three panels in Figure 14 in Lee et al. (2010) are incorrectly rendered.
According to panel (a), the maximum achievable range of a Boeing 777 would be ~30'000NM. This is ~1.6x the circumference of the Earth.
Neither assuming that the axis multiplier 1e4 nor the unit nm (sic!) are incorrect explains this issue.
Figure 5 was instead used to test the implementation of the method.

Climb and descent segment fuel burn is calculated using the [Eurocontrol BADA](https://www.eurocontrol.int/model/bada) model.
Cruise segment fuel burn is calculated using the Breguet range equation.
Fuel burn is calculated according to Table 5 in Yanto and Liem (2017):
$$
W_f = c_R \cdot R + c_P \cdot PL + c_C
$$
where:
| Symbol | Dimension | Description |
|------------|-------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| $W_f$ | [mass] | Fuel required for the mission of the aircraft |
| $R$ | [distance] | Range of the aircraft (=mission distance) |
| $PL$ | [mass] | Payload mass of the aircraft |
| $c_R$ | [mass/distance] | Regression coefficient for range |
| $c_P$ | [mass/mass] | Regression coefficient for payload |
| $c_C$ | [mass] | Constant term |
Notes
-----
Key assumptions of this fuel calculation function:
| Parameter | Assumption |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| data availability | 37 selected aircraft |
| aircraft payload | variable |
| climb/descent | considered implicitly |
| reserve fuel uplift | assumed constant at _"0.08 zero-fuel weight"_ (cf. P.577) |
| diversion fuel uplift | unknown |

Warnings
--------
The x-axis of all three panels in Figure 14 in Lee et al. (2010) are incorrectly rendered.
According to panel (a), the maximum achievable range of a Boeing 777 would be ~30'000NM. This is ~1.6x the circumference of the Earth.
Neither assuming that the axis multiplier `1e4` nor the unit `nm` (sic!) are incorrect explains this issue.
Figure 5 was instead used to test the implementation of the method.
