Improve flight model by adding fuel consumption curve by aircraft type
Data found here: https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/emep-eea-guidebook-2019/part-b-sectoral-guidance-chapters/1-energy/1-a-combustion/1-a-3-a-aviation-1/view
Great dataset to cover most of the worlds commercial flights!!! :) It could be connected with highly detailled flight data from services like https://www.flightradar24.com/ (there are other data providers, too, afaik) for individual flights. Thinking in another direction, I can imagine this could become something real-time like "the electricityMap for flying" by showing the approximated CO2_eq emissions of each flight as a trail behind the airplanes ;)

@martincollignon is there one data source that should be preferred over the other?
From what I see:
| Source | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| EAA | Excel File, so could automate | Uses some macro and might prevent easy scripting |
| ICAO | UN dependent, so might be more accurate? | Pdf (-> there might be a database somewhere?) |
definitely more EAA actually - there are a few models where we may need ICAO though. it'd be interesting to see if there is a massive difference.

Great to see so many people helping! When do you think you can work on it?
Sounds perfect! Go ahead!

Hi @NoamAv1 ! Good first pass. What we would actually need is the function of fuel consumption by distance by plane model.
The fuel consumption is currently determined by this function: https://github.com/tmrowco/northapp-contrib/blob/master/co2eq/flights/index.js#L77 : ((a(isShortHaul) * distance * distance) + (b(isShortHaul) * distance) + c(isShortHaul))
This function needs to be changed so it accepts an optional plane model to take into account the actual plane model's fuel consumption depending on distance in kilometer.
The function ((a(isShortHaul) * distance * distance) + (b(isShortHaul) * distance) + c(isShortHaul)) will still be used as a fallback.
Hey @martincollignon , I started not long ago my semester so I could get to work on it but now I'm available to work again I couldn't really figure from where I can see what variables I need for the function and what is the calculation for this function I looked at both of those files and couldn't really figure it out by myself. We can continue the talk in private if you would like to :)
Any update on this? Does the activity contain any information about the plane model? If no is there a plan to include it and what needs to be done for it to happen? @martincollignon
We would need to add a plane model variable within the activity model. I actually do not know whether there is this data coming from for example Tripit, Ryanair or others.
