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.
COMPLIANCE TEST METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECEIVER AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY MONITORING (RAIM) PERFORMANCE OF BEIDOU NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM (BDS) AIRBORNE EQUIPMENT
The present disclosure provides a compliance test method and system for Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) performance of a BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) airborne equipment. The method includes: acquiring BDS almanac parameters and test parameters (101); determining whether the satellites are visible according to the almanac parameters and the test parameters (102); acquiring space-time points when the satellites are visible (103); computing the Horizontal Protection Limit (HPL) of each of the space-time points (104); selecting marginal geometries space-time points according to the HPL (105); test the space-time points and the marginal geometries space-time points to obtain a first test result (106); acquiring the configuration parameters and the BDS almanac of the satellite navigation vector signal generator for the marginal geometries space-time points (107); decoding the configuration parameters and the BDS almanac to obtain the number of visible satellites (108); determining whether the number of visible satellites is greater than a threshold (109); testing the marginal geometries space-time points to obtain the second test result if yes (110); and determining whether the first test result is matched with the second test result (111). The method can check whether the BDS airborne equipment meets airworthiness requirements.
ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT AND AIRCRAFT INCLUDING THE ANTI-COLLISION SYSTEM
An anti-collision system for an aircraft and an aircraft including the anti-collision system are disclosed including a sensor data processing unit configured to process data received from multiple sensors installed on a tow tug to detect objects around the aircraft, and output information about detected objects; a safeguarding box building unit configured to generate, based on an aircraft geometry database, a three-dimensional safeguarding box for the aircraft; and a risk assessment unit configured to update the safeguarding box based on data corresponding to different operation modes of the tow tug, calculate relative distances between the detected objects and the aircraft based on the information about the detected objects that is output from the sensor data processing unit, and determine whether there is a collision risk between the aircraft and an object, among the detected objects based on the updated safeguarding box. The system is configured to output an alarm or a warning when there is the collision risk.

System and methods to neutralize an attacking UAV based on acoustic features
A distributed airborne acoustic anti-drone intelligence system (DAAADS) which senses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) approaching a protected site, predicts trajectories of the UAV which intersect the protected site and identifies the type of the UAV. When at least one of the trajectories intersect the protected site, an alarm and predicted trajectories are transmitted to an air defense unit, which neutralizes the UAV. Debris generated by the neutralization is tracked and trajectories of the debris are predicted. When a trajectory of the debris is predicted to intersect with the protected site, an alert is transmitted to the protected site.
Electronic image display system for a vehicle cockpit with a three-dimensional display surface
The display system has a three-dimensional and curved display surface made up of a single electronic display screen or several joined electronic display screens, the display surface having at least one main zone dedicated to a pilot and suitable for being located in front of said pilot, the main zone being substantially planar or concave, and at least one lateral zone associated with each main zone, each lateral zone being concave and laterally extending the associated main zone.
