Development of fliteX, a Cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service platform for airplane flight trajectory optimization

Plane de Vol International(PDVI)成立于2015年，以flitePLAN的名义运营，是一家总部位于安大略省奥沙瓦的公司，为航空业提供咨询服务。该公司开发了fliteX，这是一款能够计算最经济飞机飞行轨迹的软件产品，远远超过航空公司目前使用的传统软件。第一代FliteX概念验证目前在单飞行配置中实施，并能够使用实时数据。虽然早期的演示代码运行良好，但它不适合同时进行数百次飞行优化的全功能产品。从长远来看，fliteX需要作为基于云的软件即服务(SaaS)产品进行开发和部署。为此，PDVI正在与Seneca的Abdur Rahman教授合作开发一种替代解决方案，该解决方案可以作为软件即服务(SaaS)产品部署，将许多fliteX实例运行在云中的独立虚拟机(VM)中。

Established in 2015 Plan de Vol International (PdVI), operating under the name flitePLAN, is an Oshawa, Ontario-based company providing consulting services to the airline industry. The company has developed fliteX, a software product capable of calculating the most economical airplane flight trajectory, significantly outperforming legacy software currently used by airlines. The first-generation fliteX proof-of-concept is currently implemented in a single-flight configuration and is capable of using real-time data. While the early demonstration code works well, it is not suitable for a fully-featured product with hundreds of flight optimizations occurring simultaneously. In the long-term, fliteX needs to be developed and deployed as a cloud-based, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product. To that end PdVI is partnering with Seneca's Professor Abdur Rahman to develop an alternative solution that can be deployed as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) product, with many instances of fliteX running in separate Virtual Machines (VMs) in the cloud.
