Content

OpenAP library has two parts, which are OpenAP model data and OpenAP Python packages.

Model data

Data in this repository includes:

• Aircraft data: Collected from open literature.
• Engines data: Primarily from ICAO emission data-bank, including fuel flow and emissions.
• Drag polar data: Exclusively derived from open data (reference).
• Kinematic data: Kinematic model (formally WRAP) describe speed, altitude, and vertical rate.
• Navigation data: Airport and waypoints obtained from X-plane .

Python packages

The OpenAP Python library includes the following packages:

• prop: a package for accessing aircraft and engine properties
• thrust: a package for computing aircraft thrust
• drag: a package for computing aircraft drag
• fuel: a package for computing fuel consumption
• emission: a package for computing aircraft emissions
• kinematic: a package for accessing WRAP data
• aero: a package for common aeronautical conversions
• nav: a package for accessing navigation information
• segment: a package for determining climb, cruise, descent, level flight
• phase: a wrapper around segment, providing identification of all flight phases
• traj: package contains a set of tools for trajectory generation
