摘要: A vertiport system dynamically updates configuration of a vertiport based on predicted usage of the vertiport during a given time frame. The vertiport system predicts vertiport usage using flight data and estimated passenger demands and determines a desired number of parking pads and a desired number of final approach and takeoff (FATO) pads for the vertiport during the time frame. Based on the desired number of parking pads and the desired number of FATO pads for the vertiport, the vertiport system determines an updated configuration of the vertiport. According to the updated configuration, the vertiport system updates the configuration of the vertiport for at least a portion of the time frame.

摘要: A request for transport services that identifies a rider, an origin, and a destination is received from a client device. Eligibility of the request to be serviced by a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is determined based on the origin and the destination. The client device is sent an itinerary for servicing the transport request including a leg serviced by the VTOL aircraft. Confirmation is received that the rider has boarded the VTOL aircraft and determination made as to whether the VTOL aircraft should wait for additional riders. Instruction are sent to the VTOL aircraft to take-off if one or more conditions are met.

摘要: An air and road vehicle system includes a road vehicle having a chassis, a plurality of wheels, an engine, and a cabin area. A flight vehicle having a main body, wings, flight control surfaces, and a plurality of propulsion devices is removably coupled to the road vehicle by a plurality of docking mechanisms. In the connected orientation, the top end of the road vehicle is connected to the bottom surface of the wings, and the back end of the road vehicle is connected to the main body via an elongated catch tongue. Controllers on the flight vehicle and road vehicle are communicatively linked wirelessly or via hardwire receptacles. In the disconnected orientation, the road vehicle is functional as a road motor vehicle, and in the connected orientation, the flight vehicle and the road vehicle are functional for flight in a vertical or horizontal orientation.

摘要: Systems and methods are provided for displaying horizontal situational indicator (HSI) for a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. The system includes an aircraft control panel in a cockpit of the VTOL aircraft and a HSI digital display that is located on the aircraft control panel. The HSI digital display shows a fixed target symbol representing an intended landing point, a speed vector indicator that represents an approach direction and a predicted hover point relative to the fixed target symbol that is calculated based on the speed, acceleration and turn rate of the VTOL aircraft, and a dynamic target symbol representing a positional change in the predicted hover point in response to instantaneous dynamic changes in flight conditions for the VTOL aircraft.

摘要: A modular battery system includes an array of battery modules arranged in at least one stack. Each battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, a first side having positive and negative receptacles and a second side, that is opposite of the first side, having positive and negative plugs. The receptacles and plugs are configured such that adjacent battery modules in a side-by-side relationship are electrically coupled together via plug and receptacle connections and such that the battery modules are electrically coupled together in parallel. An interconnection electrically couples each stack of battery modules together via plug and receptacle connections with one of the battery modules in each stack such that the stacks of battery modules are electrically coupled together in parallel. Each of the battery modules includes a thermal conditioning system configured to thermally isolate the battery module from the other battery modules.
