Changelog myclimate API

Flight Calculator

Bulk Flight Calculator:

Added a new aircraft_type parameter to indicate the type of aircraft used in bulk calculations for each flight segment.

Single Flight Calculator:

Added new parameters: aircraft_type_leg1, aircraft_type_leg2
aircraft_type_leg1 corresponds to the aircraft used for the flight from origin to destination.
aircraft_type_leg2 corresponds to the aircraft used if the flight involves a transfer (via) between two legs.
If the aircraft type is unknown, the API will return "other."
If no aircraft type is provided, the API will return "not_specified."
Both aircraft_type_leg1 and aircraft_type_leg2 can either be specified or left empty, depending on flight specifics.
If there is no transfer leg (via), aircraft_type_leg1 will be used exclusively.

Adjusted weighting of short-term effects from non-CO₂ emissions in flight impact assessment
Updated Radiative Forcing Index (RFI) from 2 to 3
Updated emission factors for more accurate flight calculations
Refined flight calculation model to align with latest scientific studies (Lee et al. 2021, scnat 2021)

Added "Premium Economy" as a new seat class option for flight calculations in addition to existing options

Response values for flight climate impact calculations will differ due to RFI update and other factor updates
Flight calculations now align more closely with Net Zero 2050 goals
