Abstract: Amid rising fuel costs and mounting environmental pressures, the aviation industry faces the dual challenge of reducing operational expenditures while meeting stringent carbon reduction mandates. As fuel remains the largest single cost component and a major source of emissions, software systems for managing fuel consumption, range, and endurance have become indispensable. This paper provides a technical analysis of the principles, control methods, and strengths and limitations of such systems. To illustrate these concepts in practice, the paper presents an in-depth case study of Viettel’s SkyBook, an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) developed in Vietnam. By examining its architecture, functionalities, strategic advantages, and challenges, the study demonstrates how localized innovation can support global standards in aviation. The analysis concludes by emphasizing the role of software-driven optimization as a strategic driver of safety, cost-efficiency, and sustainability in modern aviation.
