    摘要: An autonomous airspace system for urban air mobility monitors flight separation for compliance with a safe separation distance. A reference formation airspace is established for a reference air taxi based on minimum longitudinal, lateral and vertical parameters. When penetration of the reference formation airspace is detected, a penetration airspace is established based on a deformation of the reference formation airspace caused by the penetrating air taxis. A centroid of the penetration airspace is determined and a target separation to the centroid is supplied to the air taxi to reestablish safe separation. The extent of separation is also safely contained by the presence of virtual air taxis whose positions on the periphery of the penetrated airspace serve to limit potential penetration of surrounding air taxi air spaces.

    摘要: One example includes an aircraft navigation system associated with an aircraft. The system includes a radio receiver configured to receive a radio signal that propagates from a remote transmitter through a portion of atmosphere to the aircraft. The system also includes an occultation processor configured to process the radio signal to determine a hazardous characteristic of the portion of the atmosphere through which the radio signal propagates. The system further includes an inertial navigation system (INS) configured to detect an intended flight path through the portion of the atmosphere and to provide a warning alarm in response to a determination of the intended flight path through the portion of the atmosphere comprising the determined hazardous characteristic.

    摘要: A landing site selection system selects landing sites for unplanned landings for small aircraft. The landing site selection system may generate a landing site database comprising parameters for landing sites. The landing sites may be any location where an aircraft may potentially land. The landing site selection system may monitor aircraft conditions and determine that an unplanned landing may be desirable. The landing site selection system may select potential landing sites based on the aircraft conditions and the landing site parameters. The landing site selection system may display landing site parameters for the selected landing sites to a pilot to allow the pilot to select a landing site. The landing site selection may provide navigation instructions or autonomously navigate the aircraft to the landing site.

    摘要: Le document décrit des dispositifs et des procédés mis en oeuvre par ordinateur, pour le couplage entre une interface homme-machine (e.g. graphique), alimentée en données, notamment de trafic et de météorologie, et un système de calcul de trajectoires (e.g. avionique de gestion de vol), en vue de l'exploration interactive de de trajectoires exploitables volables pour la gestion de l'encombrement spatial autour de la trajectoire d'un véhicule. Des développements décrivent le cas particulier d'un aéronef, comme la gestion de mission, la collecte des contraintes spatiales, temporelles ou techniques relatives à l'encombrement spatial au sein de l'espace aérien potentiel déterminé, la surveillance des évolutions de l'encombrement de l'espace aérien, des excursions de l'aéronef, des affichages divers et notamment superposés. Différents types d'interface homme-machine sont décrits, de réalité virtuelle ou augmentée, et configurés pour la visualisation des données en 2D, 3D et/ou 4D.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method of managing a fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is provided. A fleet management computing system receives telemetry information from a plurality of UAVs. The fleet management computing system generates a map interface having a plurality of UAV icons based on the telemetry information. The fleet management computing system receives a selection of an initial group of UAV icons via the map interface, wherein the initial group of UAV icons includes two or more UAV icons. The fleet management computing system receives a de-selection of one or more UAV icons from the initial group of UAV icons to create a final selected group of UAV icons. The fleet management computing system transmits a command to UAVs associated with the UAV icons of the final selected group of UAV icons.
