    摘要: Described embodiments provide a rotor mounting boom assembly for a personal aircraft. The rotor mounting boom assembly includes a rotor mounting boom releasably attachable to a wing of the personal aircraft, one or more vertical lift rotors, and one or more rotor controller assemblies. Controller assemblies for each rotor are positioned on the rotor mounting booms such that downwash from the rotor causes increased airflow across the controller assembly to cool the controller assembly components. A rotor controller enclosure includes an air inlet and an air outlet to allow airflow through the enclosure to cool the controller components. The air inlet is positioned relative to the path of the rotor blades such that the downwash from the rotor that flows into the air inlet is maximized. The structure of the enclosure includes features for increasing the airflow through the enclosure.

    摘要: An aircraft cockpit flight display system and method are disclosed. In various embodiments, an indication of a geo-location of an aircraft with which a display device is associated is received. A displayed scene that includes a graphical representation of the aircraft and a surrounding scene the content of which is determined at least in part by the geo-location is displayed via the display device.
