1. A system for an aircraft, the system comprising:
a sensor attached to the aircraft, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a geographical datum; and
a processor communicatively connected to the sensor, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive sensor data comprising the geographical datum from the sensor;
generate an optimal flight trajectory of the aircraft based on the geographical datum, wherein generating the optimal flight trajectory comprises:
generating, based on a geographical datum and by solving a plant model iteratively, the optimal flight trajectory;
generate, based on the optimal flight trajectory, an aircraft command, wherein the aircraft command is associated with a first change in at least one of a heading, a trim, a pitch, a roll, a yaw, or a thrust of the aircraft; and
control the aircraft based on the aircraft command, wherein controlling the aircraft based on the aircraft command causes one or more mechanical movements of the aircraft, the one or more mechanical movements being configured to cause the first change.
