Aircraft Efficiency Data from Babikian et al. (2002)

Data on commercial aircraft efficiency extracted from Figures 1-5 of Babikian et al. (2002).

Data includes the performance metrics:

EU[MJ/ASK] ("overall efficiency")

TSFC[mg/kNs] ("engine efficiency")

OEW/MTOW [dimensionless] ("structural efficiency")

L/D [dimensionless] ("aerodynamic efficiency")

for commercial passenger aircraft introduced from 1955-2005.

Note:

For a dataset using MJ/RPK ("Energy Intensity"), see Aircraft Efficiency Data from Lee et al. (2004)
