Systems and methods for optimizing energy usage and/or emissions for a given flight by providing an optimum profile for an aerial vehicle. The systems can utilize weather data and a performance model of the aerial vehicle to calculate energy usage by the aerial vehicle at various altitudes and speeds along the flight route. The systems can further determine the optimal altitude and speed profile along the flight route for the aerial vehicle, which defines the altitudes along the flight route that result in the minimum energy usage for the aerial vehicle. The systems can further provide reports to users.
