Jonas Lövgren has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20100010693
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for calculating a flight path avoiding a collision with the ground when an aircraft dives towards the ground. The method includes receiving signals including information of a dive angle of the aircraft in relation to the imaginary ground plane, and a present roll angle of the aircraft, and calculating a flight path that avoids collision with the ground on the basis of the information. The calculation includes calculating a need for rolling the aircraft based on the present roll angle, and calculating a need for changing the direction of the velocity vector of the aircraft so that the change has a component in an upward direction in relation to the reference frame of the aircraft.
