Abstract
This paper presents an algorithm to rapidly generate trajectories for a kinematic fixed-wing Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) model flying at constant altitude in a uniform wind field. Arrival times are specified by operators and rapid generation is accomplished via an elliptic integral problem formulation. Simulations are provided that illustrate this approach in the context of NASA's UAS Traffic Management Project.
