    Abstract: Aircraft mission calculation system includes a first calculator configured to calculate a plurality of iso-displacement curves from a selected point, at a displacement range corresponding to several successive displacement increments of the aircraft from the selected point, the iso-displacement curves being obtained at the displacement range for a displacement of the aircraft to a given flight level from displacements of the aircraft at distinct flight altitude levels. The first calculator is configured to determine, based on iso-displacement curves up to the given flight level, obtained at distinct flight altitude levels, taken at the same displacement range of the aircraft, an extended iso-displacement curve at the given flight level maximizing the displacement of the aircraft from the geographical point of origin or minimizing the displacement of the aircraft toward the geographical destination point.

    Abstract: A system for establishing an operational flight plan includes a basic flight data acquisition unit for acquiring basic flight data from an external flight plan development system, the basic flight data comprising at least one theoretical fuel weight to be loaded into the aircraft. The system also includes an aircraft actual operational specifications acquisition unit for acquiring actual operational specifications of the aircraft, the actual operational specifications including an airplane context; a proposed flight data calculating unit for calculating proposed flight data including at least one proposed weight of fuel corresponding to the theoretical weight, calculated based on actual operational specifications of the aircraft and a specified trajectory of the aircraft; and a viewer, and a display manager capable of displaying a proposed flight data display window including the proposed fuel weight.

    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.
