  • Patent number: 12141857
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing modifications to aircraft using a graphical user interface. A navigation section is displayed in the graphical user interface and includes at least one of a models menu control or a scenarios menu control. The models menu control is selectable to present model options to a user, the model options being customized based on at least one of identification information associated or customer information. The scenarios menu control is selectable to present scenario options to a user, the scenario options being tailored for the customer based on the at least one of identification information associated with the user or customer information retrieved for the customer. An effectivity selector allows the user to select a set of aircraft for modification. Based on the set of aircraft selected, features displayed in the graphical user interface based on an option from the model or scenario options are customized automatically.

  • Patent number: 11605122
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing aircraft modifications. A link to a customer information database is established in response to receiving a launch input for a modification marketplace entered by a user via a graphical user interface. The customer information database includes identification information and customer information associated with the user. A determination is made as to whether the user is authorized to access the modification marketplace using the identification information. A link to an engineering database containing aircraft product information is established in response to a determination that the user is authorized to access the modification marketplace. A selected level of access to the aircraft product information in the engineering database is provided, via the graphical user interface, based on the customer information associated with the user.

  • Publication number: 20200134705
    Abstract: Methods and systems for building a configuration for a new aircraft. A link to a customer information database is established in response to receiving a launch input for a production marketplace entered by a user via a graphical user interface. The user is associated with a customer. The customer information database includes identification information associated with the user. A determination is made as to whether the user is authorized to access the production marketplace using the identification information user. Guidance information is generated for presentation via the graphical user interface to guide the user through a build process for building the configuration in response to the user being authorized to access the production marketplace, the guidance information being customized for the customer. Feature selections are received by the user via the graphical user interface. The configuration is built for the new aircraft based on the feature selections.
