  • Patent number: 11631334
    Abstract: Provided is a flight optimization system and a method of flight optimization that includes generating flight data via an onboard aircraft system, performing a pre-flight cycle by determining an updated tail assignment plan before departure based on the flight data received in real-time from the onboard aircraft system, performing an in-flight cycle by collating and processing in-flight data and external data via an onboard network server, and transmitting the processed data to an electronic flight bag in real-time and performing flight path optimization via a path optimizer application of the electronic flight bag to be accessed by flight personnel, and performing a post-flight cycle by transmitting post-flight data to an event measurement system along with operational data to be processed and sent to a fleet support system and a maintenance system for generating updated flight plans and maintenance plans which are data-driven.

  • Publication number: 20180137361
    Abstract: One example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a method for analyzing at least one phase of an aircraft turn at an airport. The method includes receiving one or more video streams. The method includes processing the one or more video streams to identify one or more objects. Processing the one or more video streams includes extracting data associated with the one or more objects. The method includes tracking the one or more objects to determine an event based on the one or more objects and the data. The method includes storing the event in a database with an associated parameter. The method includes performing an analysis of the at least one phase of the aircraft turn based, at least in part, on the event and the associated parameter. The method includes providing a signal indicative of an issue with the event based on the analysis.
