  • Patent number: 11704288
    Abstract: An aircraft computer file distribution system comprises a store (36) of aircraft computer files for loading into at least one aircraft device (12) that is onboard, mobile or replicated on the ground. The system includes a file manager (44), configured for identifying an aircraft configuration of the aircraft with which the aircraft device (12) is associated and a computer configuration of the aircraft device (12); defining, among the computer files in the computer file store (36), at least one computer file loadable into the aircraft device (12) according to the identified aircraft configuration and computer configuration; and activating a synchronization for remote distribution of at least one computer file to be loaded into the aircraft device (12) selected from the one or more computer files loadable into the aircraft device (12) based on the identified aircraft configuration and computer configuration.

  • Patent number: 11430343
    Abstract: An aircraft mission computing system includes an aircraft mission path computing engine, and a mission deck comprising a display and a display management assembly configured for displaying, on the display, at least one button for defining an operational specification of the mission. The computing engine is configured to be activated after defining the choice of operational specification using the definition button to determine at least one possible path of the aircraft based on the or each choice of defined operational specification using the or each definition button. The display management assembly is configured to display, on the display, after the activation of the computing engine, at least one outcome indicator providing mission feasibility information while respecting the or each operational specification choice.

  • Publication number: 20190295425
    Abstract: A system for establishing an operational flight plan includes a basic flight data acquisition unit for acquiring basic flight data from an external flight plan development system, the basic flight data comprising at least one theoretical fuel weight to be loaded into the aircraft. The system also includes an aircraft actual operational specifications acquisition unit for acquiring actual operational specifications of the aircraft, the actual operational specifications including an airplane context; a proposed flight data calculating unit for calculating proposed flight data including at least one proposed weight of fuel corresponding to the theoretical weight, calculated based on actual operational specifications of the aircraft and a specified trajectory of the aircraft; and a viewer, and a display manager capable of displaying a proposed flight data display window including the proposed fuel weight.

  • Patent number: 10310920
    Abstract: A management method is provided for managing data relative to an aircraft mission comprising at least one flight by an aircraft, the data comprising input data of at least two applications and output data of the applications, each application being able to be executed by a computer to determine, from the input data of the application, the output data. The method includes a step for providing a set of generic data, each of the generic data being an input datum shared by at least two of the applications, a step for assigning a value to at least one of the generic data for at least one flight of the mission, and a step for configuring the applications comprising the automatic assignment, to each input datum corresponding to a generic datum, of the value of the generic datum.
