    摘要: Systems and methods may be used for identifying and presenting data layers relevant to a vehicle. According to an embodiment, a method may include: receiving data describing a plurality of data layers, each of the plurality of data layers being indicative of a condition being a weather condition or a restriction zone condition; determining a relevance of each of the plurality of data layers based on a position or planned path of the vehicle and characteristics of the conditions respectively indicated by the plurality of data layers; selecting one or more relevant layers from the plurality of data layers based on the relevance respectively determined for the plurality of data layers; and presenting the one or more selected relevant data layers to an operator of the vehicle.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for providing contextual building height information to one or more operators of an aircraft. For instance, the method may include obtaining aircraft flight information including a current position and a current altitude of the aircraft; and retrieving, from a database, building information for one or more buildings located in a flight path area, the flight path area including the current position of the aircraft. The method may further include assigning one or more visual characteristics to each of the one or more buildings located in the flight path area based at least in part on the building information and the current altitude of the aircraft; and displaying, to the one or more operators of the aircraft, the one or more buildings located in the flight path area with the assigned one or more visual characteristics.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for transmitting obstacle information to one or more operator displays associated with an aircraft. For instance, the method may include obtaining aircraft flight information including a current position and altitude; retrieving obstacle information for a flight area; scanning the flight area with environment sensors to identify observed obstacles and generate observed obstacle information. The method may further include aggregating the obstacle information with the observed obstacle information of the observed obstacles identified by the environment sensors to generate aggregated obstacle information identifying obstacles in the flight area; determining obstacle characteristics of the obstacles located in the flight area; assigning visual characteristics to each of the obstacles based at least in part on the determined obstacle characteristics; determining a subset of the obstacles relevant to the aircraft; and transmitting information on the relevant subset of obstacles to a display of the aircraft.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods and systems for facilitating takeoff and landing of an aircraft. For instance, the method may include obtaining aircraft information and retrieving vertiport information for a desired landing or takeoff location area. The method may further include determining an aircraft path including a vertical path portion and a cruise path portion; determining a dynamic switchover point between the vertical path portion and the cruise path portion along the aircraft path; and transmitting control information including a vertical control portion and a cruise control portion to aircraft propulsion systems. Wherein the aircraft propulsion systems will operate under one of the vertical control portion or the cruise control portion until the aircraft reaches the dynamic switchover point, and wherein the aircraft propulsion systems will operate under the other of the vertical control portion or the cruise control portion after the aircraft reaches the dynamic switchover point.

    摘要: Disclosed are methods, systems, and non-transitory computer-readable media for generating visual cues for spatial communication coverage. For instance, the method may include obtaining a proposed travel path for a vehicle; locating one or more communication channels accessible to an operator of the vehicle in an area that includes at least a portion of the proposed travel path; and analyzing one or more characteristics of the one or more communication channels to determine one or more positions within the area at which the one or more communication channels will be inaccessible to the operator. The method may further include calculating a present position and a velocity of the vehicle; determining communication channel availability; and presenting the communication channel availability to the operator via a graphical user interface.
