Combine with other filters →Predict Tomorrow's Wind Speed for Flight Planning
Build a weather model that helps pilots make go/no-go decisions
Download historical airport weather data (METAR observations) and build a simple machine learning model that predicts next-day wind speed. Learn how pilots use weather forecasts for flight planning and go/no-go decisions.
Start Project → AI/MLPredict Clear-Air Turbulence from Weather Data
Build a classifier that warns pilots about invisible rough air
Build a machine learning classifier that predicts turbulence severity (none/light/moderate/severe) from atmospheric variables using real NOAA pilot reports (PIREPs) and reanalysis data. Tackle one of aviation's most challenging weather hazards.
Start Project → AI/MLML-Optimized Flight Route Planning Around Weather
Route aircraft around storms and turbulence with graph search and ML
Build a system that ingests weather forecast grids and uses graph search with an ML-learned cost model to find fuel-optimal routes that avoid turbulence and convective weather. Compare against great-circle routes to quantify fuel and safety improvements.
