NASA has developed a tool called Collaborative Digital Departure Rerouting to make flight departures more efficient, saving fuel and reducing delays.
The tool suggests more efficient departure routes based on existing data about delays and presents them to airlines in real time for their consideration.
Collaborative Digital Departure Rerouting is being tested at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and Love Field Airport in Texas, with plans to expand to other major airports.
NASA aims to transform the aviation industry for sustainability and efficiency, contributing to the goal of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
