Autonomous Flight Navigation Mechanism for Air-Route Optimization

Abstract

Air-routes are the most critical decision factor when it comes to performance of any flight from the efficiency standpoint. With over 40 million flights scheduled every year, air travel has become an inseparable part of business, leisure, and commute. Every drop of fuel, second of time, and dollar spent, matters. In this section of travel that has paramount importance in the fast-growing world, there's definitely room for efficiency maximization. Considering a practical example, it can be quite certainly asserted that San Francisco to New York experiences a good chunk of traffic flow. This is the key area where optimization must kick in. Factors leading to great-circle wastage like waypoints, weather roughness avoidance, alongside similar attributes need operational replacement and to make the real-time use case conducive to efficient flying. This paper would talk about how and where this concept can be applied to ensure maximum throughput and minimized compromise on resource wastage. Advantages of these implementations, coupled with the existing sophisticated systems would have a profound impact on optimizing expensive dependencies to achieve flight. Leveraging the great-circle route, flight time and route planning would be optimized to attain faster air travel performance. Although such tweaks might result in some undesirable side effects, the research would encompass strategies to let the efficiency prevail.
