  • Patent number: 11430343
    Abstract: An aircraft mission computing system includes an aircraft mission path computing engine, and a mission deck comprising a display and a display management assembly configured for displaying, on the display, at least one button for defining an operational specification of the mission. The computing engine is configured to be activated after defining the choice of operational specification using the definition button to determine at least one possible path of the aircraft based on the or each choice of defined operational specification using the or each definition button. The display management assembly is configured to display, on the display, after the activation of the computing engine, at least one outcome indicator providing mission feasibility information while respecting the or each operational specification choice.

  • Patent number: 11286056
    Abstract: A system for displaying information relative to an aircraft flight and related method are provided. This system comprises a display device, and a module for managing the display on the display device, the management module being configured for controlling the display, on a window of the display device, of a timescale representative of a time period of the flight, and for controlling the display, facing the timescale, of pieces of information relative to a series of events intended to occur in a time window comprised in the time period. The module for managing the display is configured for determining a position in time of the time window comprised in the time period and a duration of the time window, and for controlling the display, along the timescale, of a marker representative of the position in time and of the duration of the time window.
