US 12,162,622 B2 · Augmented reality system for pilot and passengers

Abstract

An aircraft having an augmented reality flight control system integrated with and operable from the pilot seat and an associated pilot headgear unit, wherein the flight control system is supplemented by flight-assisting artificial intelligence and geo-location systems. Embodiments include an augmented reality flight control system incorporating real-world objects with virtual elements to provide relevant data to a pilot during aircraft flight. A translucent substrate is disposed in the pilot's field of view such that the pilot can see therethrough, and observe virtual elements displayed on the substrate. The system includes a headgear that is worn by the pilot. A flight assistance module is configured to receive data related to the aircraft and provide predictive assistance to the pilot during flight based on the received data based in part on a pilot profile having preferences related to the pilot.

Dependent claims

An augmented reality flight control system, comprising:

a virtual flight control device operably coupled to a translucent substrate disposed in a pilot's field of view and configured to generate and display one or more virtual elements on the substrate;
a flight assistance module configured to receive data related to the aircraft and provide predictive assistance to the pilot during flight;
a flight-assisting artificial intelligence system operably coupled to the translucent substrate, wherein the artificial intelligence system is adapted to:
control, by one or more processors, the aircraft as necessary to implement corrective action during flight;
and
perform, by one or more processors, a flight maneuver.
