Patent number: 11587449Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for guiding a vertical takeoff and landing, VTOL, vehicle to an emergency landing zone. The systems and methods include determining, via at least one processor, candidate landing zone data by interrogating an emergency landing zone database based at least on VTOL vehicle location, the candidate landing zone data representing a list of candidate emergency landing zones. A target emergency landing zone is selected from the list of candidate emergency landing zones based at least on VTOL vehicle related issues including at least one of unanticipated yaw issues, ground effect issues and modified trend vector issues, thereby providing target emergency landing zone data. Guidance for the VTOL vehicle is determined based on the target emergency landing zone data.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2020Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Jayasenthilnathan B, Gobinathan Baladhandapani, Sriram P R, Sivakumar Kanagarajan

Publication number: 20210383704Abstract: Methods and systems for providing off-board recharge station information for an urban air mobility (UAM) vehicle flying on an intended trip. The method includes displaying a map showing the UAM vehicle at a current location, the intended trip, and an endurance line that represents an extent of the available UAM charge. The method retrieves recharge station information including a station name, location, number of recharge ports at the station, and a compatibility type for each of the recharge ports. The method identifies recharge stations that are compatible with the UAM vehicle and can be reached from the intended trip with the UAM available charge, and also updates information associated with the identified recharge stations responsive to a received real-time status update. The method visually depicts the identified recharge stations and visually distinguishes an identified recharge station having a shortest path deviation from the intended trip.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2020Publication date: December 9, 2021Applicant: HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.Inventors: Jayasenthilnathan B., Saravanakumar Gurusamy, Madhava Gadicherla

Patent number: 10591293Abstract: The disclosure is directed to techniques that use a data communication system such as ADS-B to provide an output to alert an aircraft operator of an incorrect barometric pressure setting for a pressure altimeter, and provide the correct altimeter setting. For example, the system may compile the ADS-B Out data from other aircraft operating near a first aircraft to provide the barometric pressure setting in use by the other aircraft. A system of this disclosure may identify the altimeter setting used by majority of the other aircraft in a region of airspace. If a first aircraft's current barometric altimeter setting is different from the setting of the majority of the nearby aircraft, then the system may generate an output to alert the operator of the first aircraft of a potential incorrect altimeter setting as well as provide a suggested barometric altimeter setting.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2018Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventors: Madhava Gadicherla, Saravanakumar Gurusamy, Jayasenthilnathan B
