## Summary

**Modernizing U.S. aeronautical standards** by studying how past and forecasted atmospheric changes affect aircraft performance, airport infrastructure, and design requirements. - Airlines and operators would get an analysis of how atmospheric changes affect operation, maintenance, and sustainment costs and detailed aircraft performance metrics such as range, payload, runway length, climb and turn rates, operating altitude, and acceleration for the 10 in-production aircraft types with the most operations. - Major airports would receive estimates of the number of weight restriction hours caused by high temperatures and an assessment of required infrastructure investments for the 30 busiest passenger airports and the 5 public airports with the highest cargo landed weight. - Aircraft manufacturers, designers, and federal fleet managers would get recommended design modifications, updates to the United States Standard Atmosphere and other atmospheric standards, and criteria for future updates.
