Abstract
Described are example systems and methods that utilize simulated and/or actual flight data to determine an aerial delivery time estimate between a source location and a delivery destination, based on current flight conditions. For example, multiple flight simulations along a flight path between a source location and a delivery destination may be performed based on various different flight conditions and the flight time determined from the simulations may be maintained in a data store, associated with the flight path and simulated flight conditions. When a request for item information is received, current flight conditions may be determined and used to determine an estimated flight time based on stored simulated flight data having similar flight conditions to the current flight conditions.
