Constraint Handling in Flight Planning
2017Flight routes are paths in a network, the nodes of which represent waypoints in a 3D space. A common approach to route planning is first to calculate a cheapest path in a 2D space, and then to optimize the flight cost in the third dimension. We focus on the problem of finding a cheapest path through a network describing the 2D projection of the 3D ...

The Flight Planning - Flight Management Connection
1984 American Control Conference, 1984Airborne flight management systems are currently being implemented to minimize direct operating costs when flying over a fixed route between a given city pair. Inherent in the design of these systems is that the horizontal flight path and wind and temperature models be defined and input into the airborne computer before flight.

Flight planning and guidance features for an UAV Flight Management Computer
2016 IEEE 21st International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation (ETFA), 2016Nowadays Air Traffic Management (ATM) requires high accuracy performance to respect time constraints at specific waypoints and to sequence the traffic flow especially while climbing and landing, in order to increase reliability and safety. Current civil aviation guidance systems proposed real-time control laws to track the reference trajectories ...

Flight path planning simulation for VTUAV
11th IEEE International Conference on Control & Automation (ICCA), 2014This paper develops a path planning simulation method in AGI software platform for multirotor UAVs in a 3D environment with avoiding the obstacles is presented. A multi-RRT (rapidly exploring random tree, RRT) algorithm is applied to compute the preliminary flight paths.

The basic procedures used by most airlines to compile their flight plans are very similar, and are by no means as simple as they could be. When a choice of routes exists it is the normal practice to compile a series of flight plans from which the one giving the most advantageous route in the prevailing weather conditions is selected.

Discrete Speed in Vertical Flight Planning
2015Vertical flight planning concerns assigning optimal cruise altitude and speed to each trajectory-composing segment, such that the fuel consumption is minimized, and the arrival time constraints are satisfied. The previous work that assigns continuous speed to each segment leads to prohibitively long computation time.

Variable Speed in Vertical Flight Planning
2016Vertical flight planning concerns assigning cruise speed and altitude to segments that compose a trajectory, such that the fuel consumption is minimized and the time constraints are satisfied. The fuel consumption over each segment is usually given as a black-box function depending on aircraft speed, weight, and altitude. Without time consideration, it
