Pilot and passenger seat
The present invention achieves technical advantages as a pilot and passenger seating. An aircraft employs a pilot seat, comprising a contoured structure having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, with left and right arm supports that include an articulated control knob, movable in three rectangular axes and rotatable about a vertical axis to provide one or more aircraft steering functions for an aircraft, and a touch-sensitive control surface for controlling one or more power system components. A passenger seat, having a contoured structure, having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, a headrest, a seat, a left support member, and a right support member are adapted to cradle a portion of a passenger's body to support the passenger during travel.
Machine learning model development with interactive exploratory data analysis
A method is provided that includes generating a visual environment for interactive development of a machine learning (ML) model. The method includes accessing observations of data each of which includes values of independent variables and a dependent variable, and performing an interactive exploratory data analysis (EDA) of the values of a set of the independent variables. The method includes performing a feature construction and selection based on the interactive EDA, and in which select independent variables are selected as or transformed into a set of features for use in building a ML model to predict the dependent variable. The method includes building the ML model using a ML algorithm, the set of features, and a training set produced from the set of features and observations of the data. And the method includes outputting the ML model for deployment to predict the dependent variable for additional observations of the data.
Aircraft flare-assist landing system
A system and method for sensing height above landing surface for an aircraft, processing that sensed height information to provide information useful to the aircraft pilot for assisting with the landing and flare-to-land maneuver, and providing the processed information in a peripheral vision display indicating landing conditions sequentially without interfering with pilot vision and focus on the landing area.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING ESTIMATED NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE PREDICTION
A method is provided for calculating the estimated navigation performance prediction for a trajectory associated with a list of segments of a flight plan. A method for displaying the navigation performance in a corridor trajectory so as to guarantee compliance with the navigation performance requirements while offering immediate viewing of the navigation latitude in a corridor is also provided.
METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADAPTING THE RANGE OF VISIBILITY IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL SYNTHETIC REPRESENTATION OF THE OUTSIDE LANDSCAPE IN AN ON-BOARD DISPLAY SYSTEM FOR AIRCRAFT
A method for three-dimensional graphic representation of the outside landscape in an on-board display system for aircraft comprises a graphical computer and a display screen. The graphic representation is computed to a visibility distance. In the method the zero pitch line of the aircraft forms, with the real horizon line, a first angle, the line representing the limit of the visibility distance forming, with the real horizon line, a second angle, in a first step, the graphical computer determines the maximum visibility distance such that the difference between the first angle and the second angle remains less than a determined value; in a second step, the graphical computer determines the visibility distance as a function of the maximum visibility distance, of the maximum altitude of the relief of the local environment and of the flight phase.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING REQUIRED NAVIGATION PERFORMANCE PREDICTION
A method is provided for calculating the prediction of required navigation performance for a trajectory associated with a list of segments of a flight plan. A method is also provided for displaying the navigation performance as a corridor trajectory and adapted to guarantee compliance with the navigation performance requirements while offering immediate viewing of the navigation latitude in a corridor.
USER INTERFACES FOR MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE THREE DIMENSIONAL FLYING SPACES
Boundary information associated with a three-dimensional (3D) flying space is obtained, including a boundary of the 3D flying space. Location information associated with an aircraft is obtained, including a location of the aircraft. Information is presented based at least in part on the boundary information associated with the 3D flying space and the location information associated with the aircraft, including by presenting, in a display, the boundary of the 3D flying space and an avatar representing the aircraft at the location of the aircraft.
Method, device and system for processing a flight task
A flight task processing method includes generating and displaying a user prompt according to flight data of a plurality of flight tasks, selecting one of the flight tasks as a target flight task in response to a selection operation with respect to the user prompt, determining the flight data of the target flight task, processing the flight data of the target flight task to obtain control instruction, and automatically controlling an operation of an aerial vehicle according to the control instruction to reproduce the target flight task by controlling the aerial vehicle to fly to a waypoint included in the flight data, controlling a gimbal of the aerial vehicle to face a gimbal orientation included in the flight data while the aerial vehicle is at the waypoint, and controlling a camera carried by the gimbal to acquire an image while the aerial vehicle is at the waypoint.
Video display system and method
A system for displaying videos, comprising a processing resource configured to: provide a data repository comprising a plurality of previously captured video segments (PCVSs) captured during previous operations of corresponding platforms, each being associated with metadata indicative of a Line-of-Sight (LoS) of a sensor, carried by the corresponding platform of the platforms used to capture the corresponding PCVS, with respect to a fixed coordinate system established in space, during capturing the corresponding PCVS; obtain an indication of a Region-of-Interest (RoI); identify one or more of the PCVSs that include at least part of the RoI, utilizing the LoSs associated with the PCVSs, giving rise to RoI matching PCVSs; and display at least part of at least one of the RoI matching PCVSs, being displayed RoI matching PCVSs, on a display of an operating platform to an operator of the operating platform during a current operation of the operating platform.
