Publication number: 20230351901Abstract: A device includes one or more processors configured to receive an indication that a geographical area is expected to be regulated during a particular time window. The one or more processors are also configured to perform a comparison of the geographical area to route segments of a filed flight plan of a flight of an aircraft. The one or more processors are further configured to, based on determining that a route segment of the filed flight plan traverses at least a portion of the geographical area during the particular time window, determine alternate flight plans that do not traverse the geographical area during the particular time window. The one or more processors are also configured to select one of the alternate flight plans that satisfies a selection criterion as an updated flight plan of the flight, and to send the updated flight plan to a second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Pablo Costas Alvarez, Javier Lopez Leones, Nicolas Pena Ortiz, Alejandro Guemes Jimenez

Publication number: 20220139232Abstract: A method of flight data prediction for an aircraft includes receiving, at a device, arrival input data for a flight of the aircraft to an arrival airport. The arrival input data includes flight plans for a plurality of aircraft expected to arrive at or depart from the arrival airport during an arrival time range, predicted weather information for the arrival airport during the arrival time range, and facilities data for the arrival airport. The method includes generating, at the device based on the arrival input data, one or more arrival sets for the aircraft. Each arrival set comprising a predicted gate arrival time for the aircraft at an arrival gate using a particular runway and a probability associated with the aircraft using the particular runway. The method also includes generating, at the device, an output based on at least one of the one or more arrival sets.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2021Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Javier Lopez Leones, Nicolas Pena Ortiz, Pablo Costas Alvarez, Pedro Cesar Alvarez Esteban, Raul Andres Torres Diaz, Alejandro Guemes

Publication number: 20210150921Abstract: A device for flight data prediction includes a memory, a communication interface, and one or more processors. The memory is configured to store a departure airport map. The communication interface is configured to receive location data for a plurality of aircraft expected to arrive at or depart from a departure airport during a particular time range. The one or more processors are configured to predict, based on the location data and the departure airport map, a taxi duration or a fuel usage of a first aircraft of the plurality of aircraft. The one or more processors are also configured to generate an output based on the taxi duration or the fuel usage.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2020Publication date: May 20, 2021Applicant: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Guillermo Frontera, Javier Lopez Leones, Nicolas Pena Ortiz, Pablo Costas

Publication number: 20210125512Abstract: A parking stand prediction system uses statistical analysis and historical data to provide an available parking stand for an aircraft at an arrival airport. The system receives real-time surveillance data relating to airlines, on-air flights, and airline and airport ground services. The surveillance data is sorted or pre-filtered according to airport. The system also receives airport map or layout data. Parking stand identification logic is applied to the surveillance data, airport map data, and historical surveillance data. Portions of this data are stored in a parking stand database which is continuously updated with current surveillance and parking stand availability data. A user inputs parking stand search parameter data into the system and receives a parking stand prediction for the aircraft of interest at an arrival airport.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2020Publication date: April 29, 2021Applicant: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Pablo Costas, Nicolas Pena Ortiz, Javier Lopez Leones, Guillermo Frontera, Alejandro Guemes

Patent number: 9786184Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the secure transmission of an aircraft trajectory that is to be flown or that has been flown. A ground-referenced description of the trajectory of the aircraft expressed in ground-referenced parameters is converted, using a description of an imaginary atmospheric model describing imaginary atmospheric conditions along the trajectory, into an air-referenced description of the aircraft trajectory expressed in air-referenced parameters. For decryption, knowledge of the imaginary atmospheric conditions allows the air-referenced description of the aircraft trajectory to be converted back into the ground-referenced description of the aircraft trajectory. Thus, the ground-referenced trajectory may be though of as the plain text, the imaginary atmospheric model as the cipher key and the air-referenced trajectory as the cipher text.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2014Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: Marco La Civita, Miguel Vilaplana, Nicolas Pena Ortiz

Patent number: 9569010Abstract: A gesture-based human machine interface, for example, a user interface for controlling a program executing on a computer, and related method are provided. Gestures of the user are monitored and a response is provided that is based upon the detected gestures. An object is used to point to information displayed on a screen. The information displayed on the screen is modified in response to a determination of the position on the screen to which the object is pointing and in response to the distance of the object from the screen.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: THE BOEING COMPANYInventors: David Esteban Campillo, David Luis Scarlatti Jimenez, Nicolas Pena Ortiz, Pablo Soriano Tapia

Patent number: 8855016Abstract: The present disclosure relates to mobile ad hoc networks, and to ad hoc networks using aircraft in particular. A method of maintaining data links to and from a source node in an ad hoc mobile network is provided. The network comprises nodes including neighbor nodes corresponding to nodes within range for direct communication with the source node. The neighbor nodes comprise active neighbor nodes and inactive neighbor nodes, the active neighbor nodes being connected to the source node via respective active data links and the inactive neighbor nodes having respective inactive data links to the source node. One or more lost neighbor nodes are identified and revised configurations of data links are considered that account for the change in neighbor nodes. A new configuration is selected based at least partly on the cost of sending messages from the source node using the revised configurations.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David Scarlatti, Roberto Molina, Nicolas Pena Ortiz, Anibal Ollero, Carlos Montes Relanzon

Patent number: 8385211Abstract: The present disclosure relates to mobile ad hoc networks that may include aircraft. Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of providing routing data for use in routing a message from a source node to available destination nodes through a mobile ad hoc network. A list of neighbor nodes corresponding to nodes within range for direct communication is obtained. For each neighbor node, a cost function is used to calculate the lowest costs of sending messages to respective available destination nodes; and routing data is generated based on these lowest costs. A message may be routed to the most suitable neighbor node by reference to the routing data.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: David Scarlatti, Roberto Molina, Nicolas Pena Ortiz, Anibal Ollero, Carlos Montes Relanzon
