Abstract
In conventional aviation, flight route planning aims to guarantee security and reduce the operating costs of the different types of aircraft that are currently available. This paper presents and an...

An aerial system is a network of interconnected systems that includes human resources, operation procedures and certifications, routes, no-fly zones and all equipment used to provide safe air navigation services
This paper proposes a method for route planning using an algorithm inspired by particles swarms, in order to reduce the direct operating costs of short-range aircraft powered by turbofan with a constant volume combustor
In order to validate the convergence of the particle swarm algorithm and its adaptability to route planning, this section presents the routes obtained with the route planner as well as the analysis of the quality of the solution in terms of lower distance traveled and how it affects the direct operating costs
Summary
An aerial system is a network of interconnected systems that includes human resources, operation procedures and certifications, routes, no-fly zones and all equipment used to provide safe air navigation services. Air traffic services may fully or partially prohibit flying per Visual Flight Rules (VFR), which establish the necessary conditions for a pilot to steer an aircraft, navigate and maintain a safe distance from any obstacle, only by sight (Anon, 2014; ICAO, 2009). In this sense, the route planning is one of the most important factors in civil aviation since it is directly related to fuel consumption, pollutant emissions to the atmosphere, operating costs and aviation safety. The increase in the number of aircraft in operation causes the need to define new routes and to optimize flight plans based on aviation safety, the reduction of operating costs and of polluting emissions (Mason & Miyoshi, 2009)
