Abstract
A remote human-machine interface system for piloting an aircraft. The interface system is agnostic to a plurality of aircraft and is arranged to receive user input information from a user and aircraft output information from a plurality of aircraft systems onboard the aircraft. The interface system includes a processor arranged to convert the user input information to aircraft-readable input information and convert the aircraft output information to interface-readable output information. The interface system outputs the interface-readable output information to the user, and outputs the aircraft-readable input information to the aircraft.
Claims15
A remote human-machine interface system for piloting an aircraft;
- wherein the interface system is agnostic to a plurality of aircraft;
- wherein the interface system is arranged to:
- receive user input information from a user;
- and
- receive aircraft output information from a plurality of aircraft systems onboard the aircraft;
- wherein the interface system comprises a processor is arranged to:
- convert the user input information to aircraft-readable input information;
- and
- convert the aircraft output information to interface-readable output information;
- wherein the interface system is further arranged to:
- output the interface-readable output information to the user;
- and
- output the aircraft-readable input information to the aircraft.
A method of piloting an aircraft with a remote human-machine interface system, wherein the interface system is agnostic to a plurality of aircraft;
- wherein the method comprises:
- receiving user input information from a user at the interface system;
- and
- receiving aircraft output information from a plurality of aircraft systems onboard the aircraft at the interface system;
- converting the user input information to aircraft-readable input information at a processor connected to the interface system;
- converting the aircraft output information to interface-readable output information at the processor;
- outputting the interface-readable output information to the user at the interface system;
- and
- outputting the aircraft-readable input information to the aircraft at the interface system.
