Small UAV Flight Planning in Urban Environments

AIAA AVIATION 2020 FORUM, 2020
This work proposes a fast algorithm for generating obstacle-free and wind-efficient flight paths at a constant above-ground-level altitude in urban environments, because a fast flight path planning algorithm is an essential function or service needed for ...

The Flight Planning - Flight Management Connection

1984 American Control Conference, 1984
Airborne 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 Plans and Flight Programmes

Journal of Navigation, 1962
In areas of sufficiently high traffic density, air traffic control in some form will always be the primary mode of ensuring aircraft separation. Any traffic control system is concerned with separating aircraft in the future; therefore, the nominal separation criteria are determined by the accuracy of prediction of future movement of the aircraft and by

Encounter Aware Flight Planning in the Unmanned Airspace

International Conference on Networking and Services, 2019
Ensuring safe and efficient operations for unmanned aircraft is vital to their integration into the civil airspace. This paper proposes a set of encounter-based metrics that can be used to estimate the complexity and thus the capacity of an unmanned ...

Simplified Flight Planning

Journal of Navigation, 1951
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.

Conflict-Aware Flight Planning for Avoiding Near Mid-Air Collisions

Symposium on Dependable Autonomic and Secure Computing, 2019
We present a novel conflict-aware flight planning approach that avoids the possibility of near mid-air collisions (NMACs) in the flight planning stage. Our algorithm computes a valid flight-plan for an aircraft (ownship) based on a starting time, a set ...

FMS flight plans in synthetic vision primary flight displays

SPIE Proceedings, 2009
This paper describes display concepts and flight tests evaluations of flight management system (FMS) flight plan integration into Honeywell’s synthetic vision (SV) integrated primary flight display systems (IPFD). The prototype IPFD displays consist of primary flight symbology overlay with flight path information and flight director guidance cues on ...
