Abstract
A method and device for generating an optimum vertical path intended to be followed by an aircraft. The device comprises at least one database relating to fixed and moving obstacles, a data entering unit, a data processing unit implementing iterative processing to generate an optimum vertical path between an initial state and a final state as a function of flight strategies, that optimum vertical path being generated in such a manner as to be free of any collision with surrounding obstacles and to conform to energy constraints, and a data transmission link for transmitting that optimum vertical path to at least one user system.
