Embry-Riddle and research partners to demo weather advisory info integration: New Tools Key to Better Air Traffic Control, Reducing Delays and Fuel Consumption
Daytona Beach, Fla., Oct. 1, 2008 – Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University today announced it will demonstrate to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) its progress in developing air traffic control tools capable of reducing weather-related flight delays, reducing aircraft fuel consumption, and improving the efficiency of flight operations. Along with research partners Lockheed Martin, Computer Sciences Corp., Boeing, ENSCO, and Mosaic ATM, the demonstration will show how current and forecasted weather information can be successfully integrated into the FAA’s traffic management and en route automation systems, located in FAA centers and major airports around the country.
