Method and System for Computing a Mission Plan for at Least One Electric or Hybrid Electric Aircraft

Abstract

A method and system for computing a mission plan for at least one aircraft powered by electric energy or by electric and fuel generated energy. The system is configured to receive input information including aircraft information, infrastructure information and flight routes information, and to implement modules for acquiring mission specifications, acquiring user preferences, and encoding the user preferences as a multi-criteria scoring scheme, selecting at least one electric energy consumption model and one electric energy charge model, based on the mission specifications, executing at least one multi-criteria constrained optimization algorithm, trained by machine learning, for mission planning, wherein each optimization algorithm is given as objective the multi-criteria scoring scheme, the optimization algorithm being further provided with the input information, mission specifications and the selected energy models, each optimization algorithm providing as output a mission plan including, for each aircraft, an electricity charging duration at each mission terminal.
