This report attempted to simulate the fuel-minimal descent and approach trajectory of a single B747-400 aircraft under ISA conditions. The aircraft is modelled as a point-mass model with parameters taken from the BADA database of EUROCONTROL. The Hermite-Simpson method is used to discretize the opti...
