  • Method of operating a vehicle
    Patent number: 12297927
    Abstract: An aircraft includes at least one source collecting a set of navigational parameters of the aircraft, the at least one source obtaining flight data for the aircraft and including at least one of a global positioning system, an inertial reference system, or a sensor. The aircraft further includes a flight control computer communicatively coupled to the source and including a first processor and a first memory having a machine-readable medium, as well as a flight management system communicatively coupled to the flight control computer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 21, 2022
    Date of Patent: May 13, 2025
    Assignee: GE Aviation Systems LLC

  • Method of operating a vehicle
    Patent number: 11480260
    Abstract: A method of operating a vehicle includes navigating the vehicle along a path, collecting a set of navigation parameters of the vehicle from at least one of a sensor, a global positioning system, or an inertial reference system, determining a set of statistical uncertainties related to at least some navigation parameters in the set of navigation parameters, and associating a set of statistical weights to the at least some navigation parameters.
