AIRCRAFT DOOR CAMERA SYSTEM FOR DOCKING ALIGNMENT MONITORING
A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that a ground surface is within the field of view of the camera during taxiing of the aircraft. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera for docking guidance by identifying, within the captured image data, a region on the ground surface corresponding to an alignment fiducial indicating a parking location for the aircraft, determining, based on the region of the captured image data corresponding to the alignment fiducial indicating the parking location, a relative location of the aircraft with respect to the alignment fiducial, and outputting an indication of the relative location of the aircraft to the alignment fiducial.
FAULT TOLERANT DISPLAY
A fault-tolerant active matrix display device for avionics systems includes a panel glass, a set of source signal lines, and a set of gate signal lines. Each of the gate signal lines includes a first gate line end and a second gate line end on opposite sides of the panel glass. A source driver circuit is coupled to at least a portion of the source signal lines. A first gate driver circuit includes a first set of gate driver cells. Each of the gate driver cells of the first gate line driver circuit includes a gate line output connected to one of the set of gate signal lines at the first gate line end thereof. A second gate driver circuit includes a second set of gate driver cells.

Systems and methods for estimating flight range of an electric aircraft
A system for estimating flight range of an electric aircraft. The system generally includes at least a sensor and a flight controller. The at least a sensor is communicatively connected to at least a flight component. The at least a sensor is configured to detect a performance datum of the at least a flight component. The flight controller is communicatively connected to the at least a sensor. The flight controller is configured to receive the performance datum from the at least a sensor, determine an energy performance datum from the performance datum, determine a flight performance datum from the performance datum, generate a projected flight range datum as a function of the energy performance datum and the flight performance datum, and display the projected flight range datum. A method for estimating flight range of an electric aircraft is also provided.
Power display for compound aircraft using shared engine torque
A power display of an aircraft having a main rotor system and a translational thrust includes a reference member, a first indicator arranged adjacent the reference member and operable to display a power being used by the main rotor system, and a second indicator arranged adjacent the reference member and operable to display a power being used by the translational thrust system.
