Combine with other filters →Calculate and Compare Carbon Footprints of Different Flights
Turn flight data into climate insight with Python
Use public flight data to calculate CO2 emissions per passenger-kilometer for different aircraft types and routes. Build a simple regression model that predicts emissions from distance and aircraft size.
Start Project → Some AI/MLPredict Flight Fuel Burn from Route and Aircraft Data
Build an ML model that estimates fuel consumption before takeoff
Use publicly available flight data from BTS or Eurocontrol to build a regression model predicting fuel consumption from distance, aircraft type, payload, and weather. A real-world ML problem with direct sustainability applications.
Start Project → AI/MLContrail Prediction and Avoidance with ML
Predict where contrails form and reroute flights to avoid them
Build an ML model predicting contrail formation probability from atmospheric conditions and satellite imagery. Explore how small route adjustments can significantly reduce aviation's non-CO2 climate impact.
