Abstract

A method for determining a result path of an aircraft, the result path including a set of successive positions of the aircraft between an initial global point and a final global point that are predetermined for a mission of the aircraft is provided.The aircraft includes a plurality of calculating members, each able to guide the aircraft during at least part of the mission and to calculate an elementary path of the aircraft during that part, each elementary path including a set of successive positions of the aircraft between an initial elementary point and a final elementary point.The device includes calculating a portion of the result path from elementary paths coming from at least two distinct calculating members.
