Real-Time Flight Path PlanningTerrain, buildings, airspace, weather. Solved in one plan.
Terrain, city buildings, airspace and no-fly zones, live weather and your aircraft's performance go into one calculation, and a safe, flyable 3D route comes out in seconds. If the pilot is incapacitated or the link is lost, the aircraft replans on its own.

Overview
At low altitude, the shortest line is rarely the route.
Cities have towers, the countryside has ridges, airports sit inside controlled airspace, sensitive sites under no-fly zones, and the weather never stops changing. The line that looks shortest is often not flyable at all.
Flight path planning puts every one of these constraints into a single 3D map. Enter the start, the destination and the aircraft type, and it routes around terrain, buildings, no-fly zones and hazardous weather, within the aircraft's climb, turn and energy limits, for the safest and most economical 3D route. Before take-off it plans; in flight it stays on. When the situation changes, so does the route.
3D constraints
Every constraint rewrites the route.
Leave one out and a route can cut through a tower, stray into a no-fly zone, fly straight into a storm, or simply be impossible to fly. Five layers, solved together, so every route holds up.
Illustrative · one layer at a time
- 3D terrainGlobal terrain, with clearance kept over every ridge
- City buildingsCity building heights built in, planned precisely over the towers
- Airspace and no-fly zonesNo-fly zones, controlled airspace and major airports built in, layered by airspace class
- Live weatherWind, storms and hazardous weather in the plan, avoided ahead of time
- Aircraft performanceClimb, descent, turns and energy per aircraft type: if it is planned, it can be flown
Objectives
Fastest, shortest or lowest risk: the mission decides.
Same start, same destination, different missions, different best routes. Safety margins, cruise speed and climb performance are set per aircraft, routes are smoothed automatically, and options are compared side by side.
Illustrative · one trip, three objectives
Shortest distance
- The least distance, the least battery and fuel
- For routine inspection and logistics, where every kilometre adds up
Lowest risk
- No city overflight; well clear of no-fly zones, controlled airspace and hazardous weather
- The widest safety margins: first choice for passenger and urban flights
Real-time replanning
When things change, the route changes with them.
Planning once before take-off is not enough. In flight the system keeps checking the route ahead, and when any of these happens it replans on board, without waiting for the ground.
- 01
Lost link
When contact with the ground is lost, replanning starts automatically, to fly on safely or return.
- 02
Pilot incapacitation
If the pilot cannot fly, the aircraft plans its own way home or to an alternate.
- 03
Temporary restrictions
New no-fly zones and temporary airspace restrictions are routed around at once.
- 04
Sudden weather
A storm or strong wind ahead, and the route changes before the aircraft gets there.
Deployment
On board or in the cloud, the same planner.
On the aircraft it plans without a network; in the cloud it runs in your browser.
