Abstract
An apparatus for virtually displaying an external visual environment of an aircraft, the apparatus comprising an input device, wherein the input device is configured to receive external aircraft data of an aircraft, at least a processor, a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, wherein the memory contains instructions configuring the processor to obtain the external aircraft data from the input device, determine a location of one or more passengers, generate a field of view as a function of the external aircraft data and the location of the one or more passengers and transmit the field of view to a display device.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a display of a synthetic window positioned within an interior cabin of a blended wing body (BWB) aircraft, wherein the interior cabin does not border an exterior wall of the BWB aircraft;
- a set of sensors configured to receive image data of an external environment of the BWB aircraft and motion data of the BWB aircraft;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory in communication with the processor, wherein the memory comprises a machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions for:
- receiving a dataset from the set of sensors;
- determining a location corresponding to the display of the synthetic window;
- generating a field of view corresponding to the location upon manipulating the dataset;
- and
- displaying the field of view with a frame rate, at the display of the synthetic window.
