Aircraft environmental studies: A need for flexible information processing H.W. Veerbeek Aerospace Summary Recent airport planning studies show a growing need for integrated research related to environmental impact of airport extensions. These studies include issues such as noise, air pollution and external safety. To get the right information on all the issues mentioned, a great amount of modelling work has to be done. The models used must have flexibility to support both the policy making process, characterized by many global orientation studies and the decision making process, requiring only a limited number of detailed design studies. The required flexibility must be built-in to the software and be available in model input definition. Flexibility can be increased when models are scalable to a range of hardware platforms, with different computational capacity. To satisfy the variety
