Abstract: A method is provided for supporting flight operations of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft in an urban air mobility (UAM) environment that includes a vertiport. The method includes accessing first observed weather data obtained by sensors located on-site at the vertiport and second observed weather data obtained by sensors onboard VTOL aircraft. A data fusion is performed to integrate the first observed weather data and the second observed weather data to produce a collection of weather data that describes the weather in an environment of the vertiport, and an environment of the VTOL aircraft. And a weather map is produced based on the collection of weather data, the weather map illustrating one or more meteorological features of the weather in the environment of the vertiport and/or the VTOL aircraft, the weather map produced for use in supporting flight operations of the VTOL aircraft.

Abstract: Various embodiments of an apparatus, methods, systems and computer program products described herein are directed to an Identification Engine. The Identification Engine identifies a portrayal in image data of at least one side stripe of an aircraft runway at a geographical location. The Identification Engine applies a three-dimensional (3D) map of the geographic location to the portrayal of the at least one side strip in the image data. Based on applying the 3D map, the Identification Engine determines a current position of an aircraft in the 3D map with respect to the aircraft runway at the geographical location.

Abstract: A mission monitor for planning non-scheduled flight plan operations during a flight such that a user or the system may direct the aircraft to a safe position if the pilot or aircraft cease to perform as planned. Upon user selection or a triggering event the mission monitor may select and cause the aircraft to fly a determined best course of action at any particular point inflight. The mission monitor may remotely and wirelessly receive flight, pilot, aircraft, and operator information. In some implementations mission monitor features may be distributed between individual modules. In one embodiment the system determines current aircraft configuration against an expected aircraft configuration to detect configuration errors, and then utilize configuration errors and error trends to manage aircraft configuration and mission operation. The system may divert the aircraft to the best available landing sites or reconfigure the aircraft to resolve configuration errors.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting ground resonance and providing a warning regarding the same includes supplying, from an inertial navigation system (INS), inertial data indicative of an inertial profile of a rotorcraft, and supplying, from a sensor system, sensor data that indicates when the rotorcraft is at least partially on a landing surface. The sensor data is processed, in a processing system, to determine when the rotorcraft is at least partially on the landing surface, and when the rotorcraft is determined to be at least partially on the landing surface, the inertial data is processed, in the processing system to determine when the inertial profile of the rotorcraft indicates ground resonance may occur. Upon determining that ground resonance may occur, one or more alert signals are generated in the processing system.

Abstract: Flight guidance methods, systems, and aircraft systems providing assist-to-land and emergency land (EL) functions. The method includes generating a visual indication of the availability and status of an assist-to-land function and an EL function when the current altitude of the aircraft exceeds an altitude threshold. When in assist-to-land, visual and audible flight guidance can be generated to guide the pilot to a safe landing at a selected runway or at a best runway for the conditions. Functions can be activated by user manipulations of interface objects and/or by software determinations. Software determinations to enter the EL function can automatically control the flying of the aircraft along an approach profile to a safe landing at a nearest suitable airport. EL determinations can be made based on pilot incapacitation.

Abstract: Described herein are systems for automated docking of an unmanned aerial vehicle. For example, some systems include an unmanned aerial vehicle including a propulsion mechanism, a battery, and a processing apparatus; and a dock including a landing surface with a funnel geometry shaped to fit a bottom surface of the unmanned aerial vehicle at a base of the funnel, wherein tapered sides of the funnel form corners at the base of the funnel, and a battery charger configured to charge the battery of the unmanned aerial vehicle while the unmanned aerial vehicle is on the landing surface, wherein conducting contacts of the battery charger are on the landing surface, positioned at the bottom of the funnel.

Abstract: A system and method of displaying an Engine Failure Awareness Chart (EFAC) for aircraft with at least one engine out is shown and described herein. The EFAC may display lines and zones indicative of levels of risk of obstacles on the ground. The obstacles may be either man-made or natural structures. The EFAC may update continuously providing the pilot with a real-time awareness of the risks around the aircraft during an engine failure. Using the EFAC the pilot may navigate the aircraft to a landing area or back to the airport for landing.

Abstract: A system and method for modifying symbology displayed on a head worn display (HWD) based on a quality-of-service value is disclosed. The system includes a head worn display configured to display symbology, a tracking camera, a controller, and a tracking processing unit configured to receive inputs form the tracking camera and transmit a signal quality value to the controller. The controller includes processors and memory with instructions that when executed by the processors, cause the processors to display the symbology on the display, determine a quality-of-service value based on at least the signal quality value, and modify at least one symbol of the symbology based on the quality-of-service value from a default symbol to a degraded symbol if the quality-of-service value changes from a high-quality value to a low-quality value. The system may also receive sensor signals from other sensors, and use the sensor signal to determine the quality-of-service value.

Abstract: A vison-based landing system comprises a processor onboard an aerial vehicle, an onboard vision sensor, onboard aiding sensors, and a data storage unit. The processor hosts an adaptive feature extraction module operative to perform a method that comprises capturing an image of a landing area having a plurality of edge features; calculating an estimated slope of an expected edge feature; calculating an expected gradient direction of the expected edge feature; selecting a horizontal basis kernel for the expected edge feature along an expected horizontal gradient; selecting a vertical basis kernel for the expected edge feature along an expected vertical gradient; calculating a combined convolution kernel for the expected edge feature based on the horizontal and vertical basis kernels, the estimated slope, and the expected gradient direction; and performing a convolution operation on the image using the combined convolution kernel to obtain an edge feature image of the landing area.

Abstract: A system and apparatus for assisting in determining the best course of action at any point inflight for an emergency. The system may monitor a plurality of parameters including atmospheric conditions along the flight path, ground conditions and terrain, conditions aboard the aircraft, and pilot/crew data. Based on these parameters, the system may provide continually updated information about the best available landing sites or recommend solutions to aircraft configuration errors. In case of emergency, the system may provide a pilot with a procedure for execution for landing the aircraft.
