Table 2.
Calculated total effective dose, ambient dose equivalent, fuel consumption and flight duration for the different flight scenarios. Differences in percentage to the reference optimized flight are given in brackets. In case of doses, the relative differences are given with respect to the sum of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) and the ground level enhancement (GLE).
| Scenario | Effective dose (μSv) | Ambient dose equivalent (μSv) | Fuel consumption (t) | Flight duration (h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GCR (reference) | 80.2 | 67.2 | 53.9 | 9.90 |
| GCR + GLE (reference) | 119 | 112 | 53.9 | 9.90 |
| GCR + GLE [1A] | 68.7 (−42%) | 62.7 (−44%) | 56.5 (+4.8%) | 10.37 (+4.7%) |
| GCR + GLE [1B] | 83.6 (−30%) | 74.3 (−34%) | 55.2 (+2.4%) | 10.06 (+1.7%) |
| GCR + GLE [2A] | 75.2 (−37%) | 69.3 (−38%) | 56.6 (+5.0%) | 9.83 (−0.7%) |
| GCR + GLE [2B] | 87.3 (−27%) | 78.9 (−30%) | 55.2 (+2.4%) | 9.86 (−0.3%) |
