    摘要: An apparatus defines a protection envelope in an aircraft, including a processor and at least one sensor, each sensor being coupled with the processor, the processor executing at least one neural network based algorithm. The at least one sensor monitors flight parameters of the aircraft thereby generating monitored flight parameters. The processor divides the performance envelope of the aircraft into predefined flight regimes, wherein for each predefined flight regime, the processor defines and stores a suitable protection envelope. The processor determines an estimated flight regime of the aircraft using the neural network based algorithm based on the monitored flight parameters. The processor selects a respective suitable protection envelope for the aircraft based on the estimated flight regime.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for calculating a flight path avoiding a collision with the ground when an aircraft dives towards the ground. The method includes receiving signals including information of a dive angle of the aircraft in relation to the imaginary ground plane, and a present roll angle of the aircraft, and calculating a flight path that avoids collision with the ground on the basis of the information. The calculation includes calculating a need for rolling the aircraft based on the present roll angle, and calculating a need for changing the direction of the velocity vector of the aircraft so that the change has a component in an upward direction in relation to the reference frame of the aircraft. The calculation of the need for rolling the aircraft is also based on the dive angle so that the calculated flight path turns sideways when the dive angle surpasses a specified dive angle and when the present roll angle is larger than zero degrees, and so that the flight path continues in a forward direction when the dive angle is below the specified dive angle. The invention also relates to a ground collision calculating unit, a computer program, and a computer readable medium.

    摘要: The field of the invention is that of onboard terrain anticollision systems for aircraft. Collisions with the terrain while the aircraft is fully controlled have been and still remain one of the main causes of air disasters. Several generations of devices for warning of risk of collision with the terrain have been developed for some thirty years now. The most advanced of these systems comprise means of alarm differing according to the maneuver to be performed by the pilot. It is of course vital that the recommended maneuver best guarantee the safety of the aircraft. The device according to the invention proposes a device comprising the calculation of several different safety surfaces or profiles. Their comparisons with the topographic data of the surrounding terrain make it possible to deduce therefrom the best alarm and the best maneuver to be performed to avoid the collision between the aircraft and the ground.
