The aircraft’s environmental performance on fleet level is so far completely decoupled from the design process. Complex climate models used to evaluate the non-CO2 emissions impact on climate is far too computationally demanding for a multidisciplinary design optimisation. In this paper, a computationally efficient approach to design climate-optimal aircraft using novel CFADs is presented.
