<p>A system and method of optimizing a multi-dimensional route, such as an aircraft flight path, using a lateral path optimizer and a vertical path optimizer. The lateral path is determined by searching for a path among nodes that minimizes a cost function. The vertical path is determined by reference to pre-determined data generated as a function of aircraft parameters and wind speed. The optimized route is filtered as it is being generated. The optimized route is not limited by pre-determined waypoints.</p> |
