Abstract

A system can include a processing device and a memory having instructions that are executable by the processing device for causing the processing device to perform operations. The operations may involve receiving or determine one or more operational constraints corresponding to an aircraft having multiple degrees of freedom. The operations may involve performing an optimization method to obtain a set of trajectory data for the aircraft subject to the one or more operational constraints, the set of trajectory data including a set of temporal state parameters that describe a state of the aircraft and a set of control input signals that are usable to control the aircraft. The operations may involve transmitting the set of trajectory data to a flight computer, the flight computer being configured to control the aircraft based on the set of trajectory data.
