Kinematic aircraft performance database

As part of Open Aircraft Performance model, the WRAP database provides operational performance, flight envelopes of aircraft performance parameters. ADS-B data are use for model construction. Detailed methods and model description can be found in postprint_wrap_model.pdf.

Parameters

The parameters are defined by flight phases. The method to extract these parameters are define in the paper.

Takeoff

• liftoff speed (to_v_lof)
• takeoff distance (to_d_tof)
• mean takeoff acceleration (to_acc_tof)

Initial climb:

• cutoff altitude (1500 ft)
• calibrated airspeed (ic_va_avg)
• vertical speed (ic_vs_avg)

Climb:

• range to the top of climb (cl_d_range)
• constant CAS crossover altitude (cl_h_cas_const)
• constant CAS (cl_v_cas_const)
• vertical rate during constant CAS climb (cl_vs_avg_pre_cas)
• constant Mach climb crossover altitude (cl_h_mach_const)
• constant Mach number (cl_v_mach_const)
• vertical rate during constant Mach climb (cl_vs_avg_mach_const)
• vertical rate before constant CAS climb (cl_vs_avg_pre_cas)

Cruise:

• cruise range (cr_d_range)
• nominal cruise altitude (cr_h_mean)
• maximum cruise altitude (cr_h_max)
• nominal cruise Mach number (cr_v_mach_mean)
• maximum cruise Mach number (cr_v_mach_max)

Descent:

• range from the top of descent (de_d_range)
• constant Mach number (de_v_mach_const)
• constant Mach descent crossover altitude (de_h_mach_const)
• vertical rate during constant Mach descent (de_vs_avg_mach_const)
• constant CAS (de_v_cas_const)
• constant CAS crossover altitude (de_h_cas_const)
• vertical rate during constant CAS descent (de_vs_avg_cas_const)
• vertical rate after constant CAS descent (de_vs_avg_after_cas)

Final approach:

• cutoff altitude (1500 ft)
• calibrated airspeed (fa_va_avg)
• vertical rate (fa_vh_avg)
• approach angle (fa_agl)

Landing:

• touchdown speed (ld_v_app)
• breaking distance (ld_d_brk)
• mean breaking deceleration (ld_acc_brk)
