    Abstract: An aircraft mission calculation system is configured to calculate an environmental benefit index. The system includes an aircraft trajectory calculation engine, able to calculate at least one potential mission trajectory between a geographic point of origin and a geographic point of destination. The aircraft trajectory calculation engine comprises an environmental benefit index calculation module, able to activate the calculation engine. The environmental benefit index calculation module is able to determine an environmental benefit index (GI) of the potential trajectory from the first amount of carbon dioxide (Q1(TR1)) produced on a first reference trajectory defining a fastest mission, the second amount of carbon dioxide produced on a second reference trajectory (Q2(TR2)), defining a mission minimizing the amount of carbon dioxide produced, and the potential amount of carbon dioxide produced on the potential trajectory.
