The present disclosure provides for identifying common flight path portions for aircraft and determining, from various factors and variables, an improved flight plan to take advantage of the reduced aerodynamic interference offered in the wake of aircraft. These improved flight plans provide improvements in fuel efficiency to the aircraft, which can extend the range of the aircraft for a given fuel capacity, require less fuel over a given route, and allow for faster travel between two points, among other improvements to the underlying aircraft.
