BADA consists of a set of aircraft models used at the EEC and other European research institutes for aircraft trajectory simulation. The results show that the 66 aircraft types (civil only) within BADA 3.1 cover 89.58% of the European air traffic. The addition of 1 more aircraft type would bring the coverage to the target of 90%.
