    Abstract: An airport ground collision alerting system and a method of operating an airport ground collision alerting system. The airport ground collision alerting system comprises an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast, ADS-B, receiver; a first database coupled to the ADS-B receiver and configured for look-up of aircraft type data based on aircraft ID data received via the ADS-B receiver and for storing aircraft position and heading data received via the ADS-B receiver; a second database configured to store digital map data for one or more airports; a processor unit coupled to the first and second databases and an application programming interface, API, configured to couple the airport ground collision alerting system to a display device.

    Abstract: An aerial vehicle may include a first wing structure. The aerial vehicle may further include a first propeller and a second propeller disposed along the first wing structure. The aerial vehicle may further include a second wing structure disposed to intersect the first wing structure to form a cross configuration. The aerial vehicle may further include a third propeller and a fourth propeller disposed along the second wing structure. In a hovering orientation of the aerial vehicle, respective propeller rotational axes of the first and second propellers may be angled off-vertical in respective planes which may be perpendicular to a transverse axis of the first wing structure, and respective propeller rotational axes of the third and fourth propellers may be angled off-vertical in respective planes which may be perpendicular to a transverse axis of the second wing structure.

    Abstract: A method for piloting a pre-existing aircraft comprising the following steps: integrating an alternative piloting system (1) into the pre-existing aircraft; connecting the aircraft (200) and a ground station in which a ground pilot (207) is positioned; when the aircraft is in a normal state, having the aircraft piloted by a nominal crew; using detection means to detect the occurrence of an emergency situation and, when the occurrence of the emergency is detected: making the ground pilot (207) operational, so that the ground pilot can produce an aircraft ground piloting set-point; transmitting the ground piloting setpoint to the aircraft; using the alternative piloting system to acquire and transmit the ground piloting setpoint to the aircraft flight control system.

    Abstract: A configuration system (80) arranged to configure an aircraft in a single-pilot mode and a two-pilot mode, comprising:



    acquisition means (84) and authentication means (83) arranged to acquire and authenticate a configuration order that defines the selected mode and controls the configuration system (80) to configure the aircraft in the selected mode;
    first activation means (85) arranged to activate equipment dedicated to piloting by a single-pilot on board when the aircraft is configured in single-pilot mode, and to deactivate dedicated equipment when the aircraft is configured in two-pilot mode;
    verification means (87) arranged to, when the aircraft is configured in the single-pilot mode, verify that single-pilot flight conditions are met and inform the sole pilot on board and a ground station of the results of these checks.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide a portable electronic device holder (400, 500, 600, 700, 900, 1100, 1400) for a passenger seat (202), including a longitudinal clamping structure (420, 520) having a generally L-shaped cross-section. The clamping structure includes a supporting flap (422, 522) forming an L-base of the generally L-shaped clamping structure and configured to support a portable electronic device, and a clamping flap (424, 524) forming an L-leg of the generally L-shaped clamping structure and configured to clamp the portable electronic device against a surface (650) abutting the portable electronic device. The portable electronic device holder further includes a mounting element (410, 510) for slidably or titlably mounting the clamping structure to the passenger seat.
