Systems and methods of integrated application framework for connected aircraft using avionics systems

An electronic flight bag (EFB) application framework system of an aircraft, comprising:

• at least one memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor executing the instructions to perform a process comprising:
• using real-time flight data to generate end-to-end real-time data analytics for inflight features around inflight operation insights and mission management, the real-time flight data comprising a plurality of onboard avionics subsystems;
• using real-time flight data to generate an avionics common object model of the aircraft, wherein the avionics common object model corresponds to a model trained at least on the real-time flight data using a software development kit (SDK) framework, wherein the SDK framework executes a customizable avionics rules engine on an IoT platform for real-time streaming analytics and complex event processing, and the rule engine being operable to process real-time telemetry streams using rule chains composed of message components and rules nodes;
• fusing the avionics common object model with data corresponding to aerospace safety services, fuel efficiency service, ground service, pilot workflow automation and connected maintenance service for that aircraft;
• integrating one or more avionics subsystems into the avionics common object model by using extensions and defining a domain model based upon the avionics common object model and making the domain model available for one or more applications via onboard application programming interfaces (APIs), wherein the extensions allow one or more plugin components to register into the system of the aircraft, and wherein the domain model comprises at least the real-time flight data to deliver intelligent actionable recommendations inflight;
• using the avionics common object model to provide flow of communication between the one or more avionics subsystems and applications hosted on one or more external EFB devices, and wherein the avionics common object model supports to modify a plugin component of the one or more plugin components without effecting the one or more plugin components;
• and
• transmitting one or more alert messages from one or more applications hosted on one or more external EFB devices to a user based on the inflight operation insights and/or a flight status.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• using real-time flight data to generate end-to-end real-time data analytics for inflight features around inflight operation insights and mission management, the real-time flight data comprising a plurality of onboard avionics subsystems;
• using real-time flight data to generate an avionics common object model of an aircraft, wherein the avionics common object model corresponds to a model trained at least on the real-time flight data using a software development kit (SDK) framework, wherein the SDK framework executes a customizable avionics rules engine on an IoT platform for real-time streaming analytics and complex event processing, and the rule engine being operable to process real-time telemetry streams using rule chains composed of message components and rules nodes;
• fusing the avionics common object model with data corresponding to aerospace safety services, fuel efficiency service, ground service, pilot workflow automation and connected maintenance service for the aircraft;
• integrating one or more avionics subsystems into the avionics common object model by using extensions and defining a domain model based upon the common data object and making the domain model available for one or more applications via onboard application programming interfaces (APIs), wherein the extensions allow one or more plugin components to register into the system of the aircraft, and wherein the domain model comprises at least the real-time flight data to deliver intelligent actionable recommendations inflight;
• using the avionics common object model to provide flow of communication between the one or more avionics subsystems and applications hosted on one or more external EFB devices, and wherein the avionics common object model supports to modify a plugin component of the one or more plugin components without effecting the one or more plugin components;
