TL;DR: The WeCare project (Utilizing Weather information for Climate efficient and eco-efficient future aviation) as mentioned in this paper aimed at finding solutions for reducing the climate impact of aviation based on an improved understanding of the atmospheric impact from aviation by making use of measurements and modeling approaches.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the effect of insect contamination on operational and economic effectiveness of an aircraft with natural laminar flow wings designed by DLR and show how insect debris located close to the wing leading edge influence fuel consumption on single missions as well as economic metrics like net present value.

TL;DR: In this article, a discrete event simulation framework is developed that uses established parameters to describe a condition-monitoring technology's performance and subsequently develops a suitable prescriptive maintenance strategy.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact on fuel efficiency on single missions and on airline operational level as well as economic metrics like the net present value of a natural laminar flow (NLF) aircraft with forward swept wings is analyzed.

TL;DR: An iterative waterfall model is presented, which serves as a mental model of integration and decomposition over cascades of levels of detail from global scenario level to a single technology.
