Digital Winglets™

Uncover hidden fuel and flight time efficiencies with Digital Winglets.

Account for aircraft performance, weather, and traffic considerations.

Digital Winglets (TASAR)

PROBLEM

Airline flight plans are generated using the best information available at the time, but the operating environment is complex and dynamic, and the static flight plan data can quickly become stale by departure.

SOLUTION

Digital Winglets is a flight optimization application that presents alternate route solutions to pilots for maximizing fuel and/or time savings during a flight.

The application identifies changing operating constraints in real-time, while a NASA-developed algorithm scans 500-800 routes per minute, enabling Digital Winglets to provide its optimized solutions with the highest probability of Air Traffic Control (ATC) acceptance.
