Abstract
A flight planning system and method include one or more control units configured to determine, from ensemble data, a plurality of flight plans for an aircraft from a departure location to an arrival location. The ensemble data includes an aggregation of data from multiple data sources. In at least one example, the one or more control units are further configured to determine a preferred flight plan from the plurality of flight plans.
Claims20
A flight planning system comprising:
- one or more control units configured to determine, from ensemble data, a plurality of flight plans for an aircraft from a departure location to an arrival location, wherein the ensemble data includes an aggregation of data from multiple data sources.
A flight planning method comprising:
- determining from ensemble data, by one or more control units, a plurality of flight plans for an aircraft from a departure location to an arrival location, wherein the ensemble data includes an aggregation of data from multiple data sources.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause one or more control units comprising a processor, to perform operations comprising:
- stochastically determining from ensemble data, by one or more control units, a plurality of flight plans for an aircraft from a departure location to an arrival location, wherein the ensemble data includes an aggregation of data from multiple data sources;
- and
- stochastically determining a preferred flight plan from the plurality of flight plans.
