This paper aims to combine high-fidelity shooting method with Shallow Neural Network (SNN) to generate optimal flight trajectories in real time. The flight trajectory optimization is formulated as a nonlinear optimal control problem. Pontryagin’s maximum principle is used to devise necessary conditions for optimality, which not only gives rise to the structure of optimal control, but also allows to formulate a shooting function in terms of initial state, initial costate, and switching times. A typical homotopy method is employed to generate initial costate and switching times for each initial state. All the generated data are finally used to train the SNN. As a result, given any initial state, SNN can immediately produce the initial costate and switching times for the optimal flight trajectory. The developments are finally verified through numerical simulations.
