  • Patent number: 11887492
    Abstract: To bring an aircraft in flight to a runway, an automatic trajectory generation system obtains a procedure, called STARI procedure, which provides a final trajectory flyable by the aircraft to land on the runway, such that from the entry point of the final trajectory or from any point above it, a holding loop pattern of a predefined shape is flyable in order to dissipate energy if necessary. The automatic trajectory generation system then computes a lateral trajectory, avoiding any terrain relief, meteorological obstacles and military zones, between the current position of the aircraft and the entry point or a point above it, based on performance adapted to an operational state of the aircraft. An overall trajectory is thus obtained, by linking the computed lateral trajectory and the final trajectory of the STARI procedure, including iterations of the holding loop pattern if necessary.

  • Publication number: 20240019875
    Abstract: To bring an aircraft in flight from an initial position to a destination, an automatic trajectory generation system: obtains polygons representative of obstacles potentially encountered by the aircraft; and searches for a lateral trajectory that is flyable by performing circumventions of polygons by their vertices, by observing a pre-established vertical trajectory profile. The lateral trajectory being sought by discovering the polygons to be effectively taken into account to perform the circumventions, by gradually identifying the polygons which form obstacles to the progress of the flyable lateral trajectory. Thus, the quantity of polygons to be taken into account in searching for the flyable lateral trajectory is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20220350346
    Abstract: An automatic trajectory generation system bringing a flying aircraft from a current position to a destination which: obtains polygons representing obstacles potentially encountered, each polygon associated with an altitude layer; defines two first tangential circles relative to a current direction of the aircraft flight, centered on the right and the left, relative to the aircraft current position; defining two second circles tangential relative to a direction to be followed to destination, centered on the right and the left, relative to the georeferenced destination position; defines a third circle around vertices of the polygons; and searches for a flyable lateral trajectory between the aircraft current position and the destination by bypassing the polygons by the vertices in searching for tangential trajectories between the circles, by observing a pre-established vertical trajectory profile, as well as the lateral margin and a vertical margin with the polygons.
