ROOST

The Python Library ROOST is a software package developed by UC3M. ROOST is a tool for robust flight planning within the currently structured airspace. The main features of ROOST are:

• Integrates horizontal and vertical decision-making
• Achieves a fast performance thanks to GPU-based parallelization
• Considers climb, cruise, and descent phases
• Incorporates uncertainty in meteorological variables, as well as initial flight time and initial flight mass.
