Abstract
A graphics display system is provided. The graphics display system comprises a display element, a database adapted to store thrust profile data, and at least one processing unit coupled to the display element and the database. The at least one processing unit is adapted to process thrust profile data from the database and to transmit control signals to the display element to display at least one spatial representation of thrust profile data associated with an aircraft.
Claims20
A graphics display system, comprising:
- a display element;
- a database adapted to store thrust profile data;
- and
- at least one processing unit coupled to the display element and the database, the at least one processing unit adapted to process thrust profile data from the database and to transmit control signals to the display element to display at least one spatial representation of thrust profile data on a map in relation to an aircraft.
1 more element
A method of displaying thrust profile data, the method comprising:
- receiving location data for aircraft within a set geographical area;
- retrieving thrust profile data from a database for at least one aircraft within the set geographical area;
- and
- displaying a spatial representation of the thrust profile data on a map in relation to the at least one aircraft's location.
1 more element
A computer program product, comprising:
- a computer-usable medium having computer-readable code embodied therein for configuring a computer processor, the computer-readable code comprising:
- first executable instructions configured to cause a computer processor to retrieve thrust profile data from a database for at least one aircraft;
- and
- second executable instructions configured to cause a computer processor to transmit control signals, based on the thrust profile data, to a display element to display on a map a spatial representation of the at least one aircraft's thrust profile data.
