Abstract :
A novel approach in minimum time trajectory planning in terrain following/terrain avoidance (TF/TA) flight is proposed. In this research, terrain is understood based on fuzzy logic and small changes in terrain are omitted. Another novelty is constructing a relationship between slope of terrain and aircraft height with speed of aircraft by fuzzy approach. Finally after a decision making process and based on governing dynamics and cost function, trajectory is constructed by a polynomial. This method is state of the art in literature
