Abstract:
Methods and systems for controlling the flight of aircraft are disclosed. An example system includes a flight management computer to receive a first time of arrival at a first target waypoint of an aircraft and a second time of arrival at a second target waypoint, determine a first set of cruise speed and descent speed pairs corresponding to the first time, the first set satisfying the first time, determine a second set of cruise speed and descent speed pairs corresponding to the second time, the second set satisfying the second time, select a cruise speed and descent speed pair from the first set or the second set, determine an aircraft trajectory that satisfies the selected cruise speed and descent speed pair, and cause at least one of: 1) the aircraft to travel along the aircraft trajectory or 2) the aircraft trajectory to be displayed.

Claim (Index 11):
A tangible computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to at least:\n in response to a first time of arrival at a first waypoint, determine first cruise speeds and corresponding first descent speeds for the first waypoint at the first time of arrival; in response to a second time of arrival at a second waypoint, determine second cruise speeds and corresponding second descent speeds for the second waypoint at the second time of arrival, at least one of the first waypoint or the second waypoint being in a descent phase of a flight; identify a third cruise speed and a third descent speed based on the first cruise and first descent speeds and the second cruise and second descent speeds, the first cruise and first descent speeds including the third cruise speed and the third descent speed, the second cruise and second descent speeds including the third cruise speed and the third descent speed; identify a trajectory of an aircraft that satisfies the third cruise speed and the third descent speed; and cause at least one of: 1) the aircraft to travel along the trajectory or 2) the trajectory to be displayed.
