A vision-based navigation system (e.g., for aircraft on approach to a runway) captures via camera (102) 2D images of the runway environment in an image plane. The vision-based navigation system stores a constellation database (206) of runway features and t...

A method is disclosed. The method may include receiving chart data; converting the received chart data into one or more sets of hardware directives and one or more subroutines, the one or more sets of one or more hardware directives including at least a fi...

A flight display (100) is described. The flight display includes a display screen (102), a physical network interface (106), and multiple processors (110). The flight display interfaces with the flight deck by way of the physical network interface. The dis...

A display includes a split night visions imaging system (NVIS) filter, including a first and second interference filter (208). The first interference filter (204) is disposed between a backlight (202) and a diffuser (206) of the display. The second interfe...

An aircraft-based system for tracking and verifying control inputs from potentially incapacitated pilot stores to memory expected control input sets, e.g., control procedures for controlling an aircraft through segments of a flight plan. When pilot monitor...

A system includes at least one camera (114) implemented in an aircraft, the at least one camera (114) configured to capture images external to the aircraft. The system further includes at least one processor (116) implemented in the aircraft, one or more o...

A system and method for predicting an estimated head pose solution of a head worn display (104), HWD, at a future time selects or determines, for each HWD rotational axis, a relative angular rate of a head reference frame relative to a body reference frame...

A flight chart conversion system (100) is disclosed. A host computing device (300) is configured to: convert flight chart file(s) to SVG flight chart file(s) defined in XML; preprocess each of the SVG flight chart file(s) by removing filled shapes overlapp...

A passenger seat, for instance an aircraft passenger seat, including a seat pan (102), a backrest frame (104) coupled to the seat pan, a backrest (106) supported by the backrest frame, and an adjustment mechanism coupling the backrest to the backrest frame...

A system and method for offloading Future Air Navigation System (FANS) and Automated Dependent Surveillance-Contract (ADS-C) functionality from the flight management system (FMS) to an aircraft-based communications management unit (CMU) receives intent dat...
