& EVALUATION
Missions is PACE’s aircraft performance and network evaluation platform. It combines engineering-grade mission simulation with network-scale analysis, enabling airlines, OEMs, lessors, and consultants to make fast, defensible decisions on aircraft capability, economics, and emissions. From a single flight mission to thousands of routes, Missions delivers consistent, OEM-agnostic insights across real-world operating constraints.
Accurate Mission Modelling at Network Scale. Missions simulates complete mission profiles—including operational constraints, environmental conditions, and aircraft characteristics—to deliver accurate performance results for real operations. Extending mission analysis to the network level, Missions enables large-scale evaluation across route portfolios—covering range capability, payload, fuel burn, emissions, and economics. For non-technical users, sales engineers, and executives, the Route Network Analyzer (RNA) provides the same trusted performance core through a lightweight, mobile-friendly interface.
Key Capabilities
Mission-Level Aircraft Analysis
Simulate and evaluate complete flight missions, including climb, cruise, diversion, and reserve scenarios.
Fleet & Network Evaluation
Analyze large route networks to determine aircraft suitability, fleet assignment, and operational feasibility across real-world networks.
Performance & Operational Trade-offs
Compare aircraft variants, propulsion technologies, and payload-range capabilities under realistic operating conditions.
Sustainability & Emissions Assessment
Quantify fuel burn, CO₂, and non-CO₂ emissions to support sustainability studies and regulatory compliance.
Scenario & What-If Analysis
Explore future operational concepts, alternative fuels, new aircraft introductions, and network changes with fast turnaround.
Future Aircraft & Competitor Analysis (with DESMO)
In combination with DESMO, MISSIONS enables evaluation of future aircraft performance and concepts, as well as competitor analysis with limited data, supporting strategic planning and early-stage market assessment.
Scalable & Data-Driven
Designed to handle studies from single missions, to global airline-scale route networks.

Is MISSIONS
Right for You?
MISSIONS is designed for organizations that need to make informed, data-driven decisions about aircraft performance, fleet planning, and network strategy. Its flexibility and depth makes it suitable for a wide range of users:
Aircraft OEM Sales & Marketing Teams
Major aircraft manufacturers rely on Missions to support sales and marketing across their entire portfolio. Missions allows marketing teams to model complex, customized scenarios and accurately respond to performance guarantee requests—critical for closing sales.
Lessors & Consultancies
Lessors use Missions for aircraft selection and fleet evaluation. It enables them to compare aircraft performance across OEMs under identical conditions, which is impossible using OEM tools alone. Missions supports fleet assignments by analyzing aircraft across routes, payloads, altitudes, and temperatures, comparing narrow- and wide-body aircraft, and making informed commercial and technical decisions.
Airlines and Operators
Airlines and operators leverage Missions for rapid, OEM-agnostic route and mission analysis.
Customize inputs for rapid "what-if" scenarios planning.
