US 2024/0255950 A1 · ADVANCED FLIGHT PROCESSING SYSTEM AND/OR METHOD

Abstract

The method can include: determining sensor information with an aircraft sensor suite: based on the sensor information, determining a flight command using a set of models: validating the flight command S130; and facilitating execution of a validated flight command. The method can optionally include generating a trained model. However, the method S100 can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable elements. The method can function to facilitate aircraft control based on autonomously generated flight commands. The method can additionally or alternatively function to achieve human-in-the-loop autonomous aircraft control, and/or can function to generate a trained neural network based on validation of autonomously generated aircraft flight commands.

Dependent claims

An aircraft system comprising:

an autonomous computing system communicatively coupled to a sensor suite onboard an aircraft, the autonomous computing system comprising a set of pre-trained neural networks, wherein the autonomous computing system is configured to determine a flight command with the set of pre-trained neural networks based on sensor data from the sensor suite;
an aircraft computing system partitioned from the autonomous computing system and communicatively coupled to the autonomous computing system, the aircraft computing system comprising:
a pilot validation interface communicatively coupled to a flight management system (FMS), the pilot validation interface configured to:
facilitate pilot validation of the flight command in a human-interpretable format;
and
in response to pilot validation of the flight command, automatically facilitate execution of the flight command via the flight management system (FMS).
