1. A method for displaying information for an aircraft, the method comprising: identifying the information for the aircraft;displaying an aeronautical chart on a display system; anddisplaying an envelope in the aeronautical chart based on the information, wherein the envelope defines a space flyable by the aircraft that meets a number of objectives. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the envelope is displayed in one of two dimensions and three dimensions. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising: displaying an indication of undesirable space outside of the envelope. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the indication of undesirable space is a graphical indicator that obscures a portion of the aeronautical chart outside of the envelope. 5. The method of claim 1 further comprising: displaying an indication of desired space within the envelope. 6. The method of claim 1 further comprising: repeating displaying the envelope in the aeronautical chart based on the information in response to the information changing, wherein the envelope defines the space flyable by the aircraft that meets the number of objectives. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the aeronautical chart is selected from at least one of a vertical view and a top view. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the information for the aircraft is selected from at least one of an aircraft state, environmental information, and a flight plan. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the information associated with the aircraft; displaying the aeronautical chart; and displaying the envelope in the aeronautical chart based on the information, wherein the envelope defines the space flyable by the aircraft that meets the number of objectives is performed in a computer system in the aircraft. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein identifying the information associated with the aircraft; displaying the aeronautical chart; and displaying the envelope in the aeronautical chart based on the information, wherein the envelope defines the space flyable by the aircraft that meets the number of objectives is performed in a computer system at a ground location. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the number of objectives comprises at least one of a risk objective, an optimization objective, and a legal objective. 12. The method of claim 1 further comprising: generating a four-dimensional cube comprised of a plurality of cubes; andmarking the plurality of cubes with an indication of a type of space based on the information,wherein, the step of displaying the envelope comprises:displaying the envelope using the four-dimensional cube with the type of space marked for the plurality of cubes in the four-dimensional cube. 13. A navigation system comprising: a display system; anda flight information identifier configured to identify information for an aircraft; display an aeronautical chart on the display system; and display an envelope in the aeronautical chart based on the information, wherein the envelope defines a space flyable by the aircraft that meets a number of objectives. 14. The navigation system of claim 13, wherein the envelope is displayed in one of two dimensions and three dimensions. 15. The navigation system of claim 13, wherein the flight information identifier is configured to display an indication of undesirable space outside of the envelope. 16. The navigation system of claim 15, wherein the indication of undesirable space is a graphical indicator that obscures a portion of the aeronautical chart outside of the envelope. 17. The navigation system of claim 13, wherein the flight information identifier is configured to display an indication of desired space within the envelope. 18. The navigation system of claim 13, wherein the flight information identifier is further configured to repeat displaying the envelope in the aeronautical chart based on the information in response to the information changing, wherein the envelope defines the space flyable by the aircraft that meets the number of objectives. 19. The navigation system of claim 13, wherein the aeronautical chart is selected from at least one of a vertical view and a top view. 20. The navigation system of claim 13, wherein the flight information identifier is further configured to generate a four-dimensional cube comprised of a plurality of cubes and mark the plurality of cubes with an indication of a type of space based on the information, and wherein in being configured to display the envelope in the aeronautical chart based on the information, the flight information identifier is configured to display the envelope using the four-dimensional cube with the type of space marked for the plurality of cubes in the four-dimensional cube.
