aerocore 0.2.1

A lightweight collection of tools for air traffic management research.

aerocore

aerocore is a lightweight toolbox for air traffic management research. It only has two dependencies: numpy and isqx (a units library). Additional features are available when optional dependencies are installed.

It supports multiple numerical backends through the Array API, including JAX arrays and PyTorch tensors.

Installation

aerocore is currently under heavy development and not considered stable. For the latest version:

# with pip
pip install aerocore
# with uv
uv add aerocore

Depending on your use case, you can pick the optional dependencies you need:

• all: install all optional dependencies
• polars: support for polars and its Array API shim (postprocessing third party data)
• httpx: support for httpx (downloading data from external sources)
• xarray: support for xarray (ARCO-ERA5 weather grids, working with NetCDF)
• jax: support for JAX (automatic differentiation support)
• matplotlib: plotting

For example:

pip install "aerocore[httpx,polars]"
