Abstract
A system for graphical indication of a corridor is disclosed. The system may include a display and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive corridor position data of a corridor and aircraft position data indicative of a position of an aircraft. The processor may also be configured to determine a relative distance of the aircraft in relation to the corridor based on the corridor position data and the aircraft position data. The processor may further be configured to display a corridor graphic associated with the corridor based on the relative distance.
Claims16
A system for graphical indication of a corridor comprising:
- a display of a primary flight display (PFD) configured to be used onboard an aircraft;
- and
- a processor configured to be operable to:
- display a map;
- receive corridor position data of a corridor, wherein the corridor position data comprises dimensions of the corridor, wherein the corridor comprises an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) corridor;
- receive aircraft position data indicative of a position of the aircraft;
- determine a relative distance of the aircraft in relation to the corridor based on the corridor position data and the aircraft position data;
- and
- display, via the display of the PFD, a corridor graphic comprising at least one visual symbol inside a boundary associated with the corridor, wherein, based on the relative distance of the aircraft in relation to the corridor, the corridor graphic is configured to be dynamically mapped to the map, wherein the dynamic mapping of the corridor graphic to the map is configured to be performed in at least one of:
- three-dimensional space or two-dimensional space.
A method comprising:
- displaying a map;
- receiving corridor position data of a corridor, wherein the corridor position data comprises dimensions of the corridor, wherein the corridor comprises an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) corridor;
- receiving aircraft position data indicative of a position of an aircraft;
- determining a relative distance of the aircraft in relation to the corridor based on the corridor position data and the aircraft position data;
- and
- displaying, via a display of a primary flight display (PFD) onboard an aircraft, a corridor graphic comprising at least one visual symbol inside a boundary associated with the corridor, wherein, based on the relative distance of the aircraft in relation to the corridor, the corridor graphic is dynamically mapped to the map, wherein the dynamic mapping of the corridor graphic to the map is performed in at least one of:
- three-dimensional space or two-dimensional space.
