  • Patent number: 11148826
    Abstract: Controlling and reconfiguring a display system that includes at least two screens that are installed in a cockpit of an aircraft in case of a failure of one of the screens. For example, a control unit of the display system may detect occurrence of a screen failure. In response to detecting the screen failure, the control unit may determine whether a critical flight relevant information has not been displayed on an operational screen during a predetermined period of time, and in response to determining that the critical flight relevant information has not been displayed on the operational screen during the predetermined period of time, command display of a message on the operational screen that suggests displaying the critical flight relevant information on the operational screen.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8155805
    Abstract: A flight guidance and navigation display (10) for a helicopter, includes a three-dimensional, semicircular flight guidance and navigation tunnel (12) to display a planned flight path of the helicopter; a circular surface (14), which is integrated in the flight guidance and navigation tunnel (12), which circular surface (14) includes a diameter that corresponds to that of the flight guidance and navigation tunnel (12), for displaying a longitudinal position within the flight guidance and navigation tunnel (12); a flight path prediction icon (16) for displaying a position of the helicopter relative to the flight guidance and navigation tunnel (12); and a command signal (18) that relates to the air speed, wherein via the command signal (18) a deviation from a reference speed that has been predetermined by flight planning is displayed.
