Three-Dimensional Path Planning for Aircraft

This paper presents method for aircraft flight path planning in a three-dimensional(3-D) rough terrain by using improved genetic algorithm. The flight path is obtained by a B-spline curve whose control vertexes are considered as the genes of chromosome via floating point coding. Both the dynamic constraint and the ability eluding obstacles of aircraft are considered enough in the computation of fitness function. Results of simulation show the method is effective.
