A method of determining an optimal flight path of an aircraft during its cruising phase includes forming a grid in a vertical plane of the space between a first position and a second position, selecting various path portions between the first position and the second position, determining the cost of each of the path portions, determining various possible paths from the path portions, determining the cost of each of the possible paths, and selecting the lowest-cost path.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A process for determining an optimal flight path (T) of an aircraft (2) during the cruising phase of said aircraft (2) from a first vertical position corresponding to an initial position (PO) at cruising altitude to a second vertical position corresponding to a terminal position (PF) at cruising altitude, said flight path (T) consisting of adjacent straight vertical path portions (PT), said method comprising:forming a grid (M) of the space between said first and second positions (PO, PF), said grid (M) corresponding to the division, in a vertical plane (OXY), of the space between said first and second positions (PO, PF) at cruising altitude, into N successive steps, namely steps 1, 2, . . . , k, . . . , N, N being a specified integer and k being any integer lying between 1 and N, each of said successive steps 1 to N being successively performed in order from said first position to said second position, the first position (PO) representing a step O and the second position being situated at step N, each of said N steps k being defined by a vertical line (L1 to LN) of said vertical plane (OXY), defining for each of said N steps, various positions (PkA, PkB, PkC, PkD) situated at various altitudes (A, B, C,) along the corresponding vertical line (Lk), and associating with each of said N steps k, path portions (PT1 to PT10) permitted for flight by the aircraft (2), between the positions (Pk-1A, Pk-1B, Pk-1C, Pk-1D) defined for step k-1 and the positions (PkA, PkB, PkC, PkD) defined for said step k; andrepeating the following operations, relating to a step k, for each of steps 1 to N:a) selecting the path portions (PT1, PT2, PT4, PT5, PT7, PT8, PT10) liable to be followed by said aircraft (2) from all the path portions (PT1 to PT10) associated with step k and defined in said grid (M), on the basis of specific characteristics of the aircraft;b) evaluating the cost of each of said selected path portions, said cost corresponding to the value of a cost criterion relating to the traversal of said aircraft (2) of each path portion;c) determining various possible paths for joining up with various positions (PkA, PkB, PkC, PkD) of step k starting from the first position (PO) on the basis of the paths (Tk-1A, Tk-1B, Tk-1C, Tk-1D) retained in a previous performance of operation f) relating to step k-1 and on the basis of the path portions selected in the present performance of operation a) relating to k;d) computing the cost of each of said possible paths determined in the present performance of operation c) relating to k on the basis of the cost of the paths retained during a previous performance of operation f) relating to step k-1, and of the cost evaluated in the present performance of operation b) relating to k;e) comparing, for each of the positions of step k, the costs computed in the present performance of operation d) relating to k of the paths arriving at said position with one another; andf) retaining the path exhibiting the lowest cost, the path (T) retained for step N and arriving at said second position (PF) corresponding to said sought-after optimal flight path.
