This paper deals with the trajectory designing for terrain following by using geometric methods. Considering the current flight path angle and load factor of the aircraft, a future path can be predicted. With known future terrain data, this predicted path can determine whether a maneuvering command should be ordered or not. By finding maneuvering points, the whole trajectory can be designed.
