  • Patent number: 11249738
    Abstract: An on-board computing system for an aircraft. The computing system comprises a plurality of partitions each including at least one software component configured to perform a function related to the aircraft, wherein software components of different partitions of the plurality of partitions are configured to exchange data via a communication hub of the computing system, the communication hub being configured to store data items exported by exporting software components of the plurality of partitions and to provide the stored data items to reading software components of the plurality of partitions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 16, 2020
    Date of Patent: February 15, 2022
    Assignees: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SAS, AIRBUS OPERATIONS GMBH

  • Patent number: 8676191
    Abstract: A method and device for managing communication channels for data exchange from an aircraft establishes at least one connection path between the aircraft and at least one ground entity with a plurality of communication channels of at least two different types. After detecting an event such as modification of a communication channel condition or a modification of aircraft position, a communication configuration enabling the aircraft to receive or transmit data from or to the ground entity via at least one of the communication channels is determined. A mechanism for establishing at least one connection path is then adapted based on the communication configuration. Advantageously, the transmission of at least one datum includes determining a priority level of the datum and determining the type of communication channel of the connection path, the datum being transmitted if the determined type of communication channel is compatible with the priority level.
