Abstract
A method for generating emissions estimations of an aircraft is provided. A plurality of aircraft parameters is gathered. A first parameter of the plurality of aircraft parameters is selected for a first model. The first model mathematically contributes to the formulation of a first emissions estimation. The first model is considered with a plurality of additional models in view of the plurality of aircraft parameters to obtain the first emissions estimation. The first emissions estimation is a composite representation of the first model and the plurality of additional models in view of the plurality of aircraft parameters.
