FlyToptim is an intuitive AI-powered solution that allows pilots to use real-time weather and aircraft data to optimize vertical flight trajectories, thus reducing fuel consumption by 2%.
Use AI to reduce emissions and advance sustainable aviation
This innovation uses PureFlyt's advanced prediction algorithms from Thales' trustworthy AI and Flight Management System (FMS) to identify the optimal vertical flight path based on real-time weather and aircraft data (such as mass and location). If optimization is possible, alternative vertical flight paths are sent directly to the cockpit pilot using existing communication channels. Once approved by Air Traffic Control (ATC), pilots can update their flight plans accordingly.
User-centric experiences with no operational disruption
The intuitive design and efficient user experience of Flytoptim, designed alongside the pilot, saw an unparalleled adoption rate. After a few weeks of trial at Corsair, 80% of flights were using Flytoptim. FlyToptim is quick and easy to deploy without the need to modify existing IT systems on aircraft or airlines.
A comprehensive range of environmentally friendly solutions
This solution provides both CO2 and non-CO2 reduction tools for pilots, dispatchers, air traffic controllers and flow managers, marking another step in Thales' roadmap to climate-efficient aviation. Flytoptim gradually integrates Thales' other green operation innovations and supports aviation industry customers on their journeys to more efficient operations, including other cost rail avoidance solutions and dynamic management of air traffic control constraints.
“Flytoptim's trials are easy to implement, and pilot adoption went smoothly. The fuel savings achieved are clear and easy to measure. We are delighted to deploy this solution. This solution is perfectly aligned with our environmental strategy and strengthens our commitment to more sustainable aviation. We will work on a variety of tools to mitigate environmental impacts such as Flytoptim.” Cyrille Digon, Director Flight Support and CSR, Corsair.
“We are proud to announce new customers of Flytoptim Solutions. This milestone is perfectly in line with Thales' strategy to help transform the future of the aerospace industry through innovative technologies that support more sustainable and responsible aviation.” Yannick Assouad, Executive Vice President, Avionics, Thales.
