Abstract: Apparatus and methods for assisting a flight crew with (e.g., pre-flight) functional testing of aircraft systems are disclosed. An aircraft condition can be used to select one or more functional tests that are applicable based on the aircraft condition. The aircraft condition can be used to initiate the execution of the one or more applicable selected functional tests. The aircraft condition can also be used to identify the one or more functional tests that are applicable on a display device so as to guide the flight crew during the execution of the functional tests.

Abstract: A method and system for evaluating the position of landing gear on an aircraft has been developed. A change is detected in audio noise of the aircraft from an enhanced flight audio recording system (EFARS) and compared with a database of audio outputs of the aircraft with the landing gear extended. An increase in vibrations of the aircraft is detected with a flight management system (FMS) and compared to a database of vibrations of the aircraft with the landing gear extended. A decrease in airspeed of the aircraft is detected with the FMS and compared with a database of airspeed of the aircraft with the landing gear extended. The position of the landing gear is determined based on results of comparisons of the change in audio noise, the increase in vibrations and the decrease in airspeed. The position of the landing gear to is then indicated to the pilot.

Abstract: An aircraft notification system, the aircraft notification system having a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to receive aircraft angle data from a blended wing body aircraft (BWB) having a main body and a wing with no clear demarcation between the wings and the main body along a leading edge of the aircraft, determine an aircraft orientation as a function of the aircraft angle data, wherein the aircraft orientation comprises at least a pitch angle of the BWB while the BWB is in contact with a ground surface, transmit the aircraft orientation to an aircraft display system and visually display the aircraft orientation through the aircraft display system.

Abstract: An indication to perform a recovery action, including by deploying a first and second parachute canopy is output. Sensor data, which includes parachute canopy state information associated with the first parachute canopy and the second parachute canopy, is received from a sensor. It is determined, based at least in part on the sensor data, whether to generate a control signal with a value associated with maneuvering the aircraft into a nose-up position. If the parachute canopy state information indicates the first parachute canopy is collapsed and the second is inflated, the control signal is generated with the value associated with maneuvering the aircraft into the nose-up position. A load on the second parachute canopy is reduced if the aircraft is in the nose-up position compared to the aircraft being in a nose-down position. The control signal is output.

Abstract: A method for control of an oxygen tank for aircraft, implemented by a processor onboard the aircraft, where the method includes measuring repeatedly a current value of an oxygen volume in the tank and saving the current value in a database, calculating an average oxygen consumption flow rate during an observation period from current values stored in the database, comparing said average flow rate with a preset average flow-rate limit, detecting a possible state of active oxygen consumption from the tank during the observation period and reporting a leak in the tank, if the average oxygen consumption flow rate is over said preset average flow-rate limit and if no active consumption state was detected during the observation period.

Abstract: A method for assisting a pilot in controlling an aircraft, an assistance system for an aircraft pilot, and an aircraft are disclosed herein. In one example, a method is disclosed of assisting a pilot in controlling an aircraft having a plurality of lift-generating propulsion devices. The method having steps that include, calculation of momentary control limitations for each control of the aircraft around a roll axis, a pitch axis, a yaw axis, and a total thrust T of the propulsion devices, and display of the calculated control limitations by a display device.

Abstract: An aircraft pairing system and method are provided to arrange for scheduling flights of two or more aircraft. The system and method allow to identify pairs of aircraft flights, wherein the aircraft can be brought together into a formation with a follower aircraft flying in the wake upwash of a leader aircraft to generate fuel savings. The system and method utilize historical flight data to generate a list of possible flight pairings and anticipated fuel savings, and live data to update the possible flight pairings and anticipated fuel savings. A display of the possible flight pairings and anticipated fuel savings is provided on a user interface. The user may accept flight pairings and extract data to modify flight plans.

Abstract: A hydrogen supply assembly for an aircraft propulsion system includes a storage housing, a hydrogen supply component, and a leak detection system. The storage housing surrounds and forms a storage plenum. The hydrogen supply component is disposed within the storage housing coincident with the storage plenum. The leak detection system includes an interior pressure sensor, an exterior pressure sensor, and a controller. The interior pressure sensor is connected in fluid communication with the storage plenum. The exterior pressure sensor is connected in fluid communication with an ambient atmosphere outside the storage housing. The controller is configured to determine a differential pressure between the storage plenum and the ambient atmosphere with the interior pressure sensor and the exterior pressure sensor and identify a presence or an absence of hydrogen leakage from the hydrogen supply component to the storage plenum by comparing the determined differential pressure to a first differential pressure threshold.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for a transportation vehicle. One method includes retrieving data associated with one or more seat attributes associated with one or more passenger seats of an aircraft; identifying a first attribute associated with a passenger seat that does not meet a configurable threshold condition defined for the first attribute for aircraft takeoff, landing or both take-off and landing; determining an action associated with the first attribute that can modify the first attribute to comply with the threshold condition for aircraft takeoff, landing or both take-off and landing; and executing the action associated with the first attribute to meet the threshold condition with the aircraft takeoff, landing or both take-off and landing.
