Abstract
Provided is a method of providing a smart helipad configured to support landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, the method including adaptively displaying an imaged marker recognizable by a camera mounted to the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft; obtaining tilting information about a ground surface and a sea surface using a gyro sensor; and adjusting a landing pad connected to a display unit on which the marker is displayed to be in parallel with a horizontal line based on the tilting information, using a motion platform having change responsiveness to all of the directions.
Claims13
A method of providing a smart helipad configured to support landing of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, the method comprising:
- adaptively generating and displaying an imaged marker by a display panel of a display unit such that the imaged marker displayed on the display unit is recognizable by a camera mounted to the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, the display panel coupled to a landing pad;
- obtaining tilting information about a ground surface or a sea surface using a gyro sensor;
- and
- adjusting a top surface of the landing pad coupled to a motion platform to be in parallel with a horizontal line based on the tilting information, using the motion platform having change responsiveness in all directions, the horizontal line being perpendicular to a gravity direction.
A system comprising a smart helipad, the system comprising:
- a display unit including a display panel and a landing pad coupled to the display panel, the display panel adaptively generating and displaying an imaged marker;
- a motion platform unit including a motion platform to which the landing pad is coupled, the motion platform adjusting the landing pad in all directions such that a top surface of the landing pad is in parallel with a horizontal line based on tilting information about a ground surface or a sea surface, the horizontal line being perpendicular to a gravity direction;
- and
- a controller,
- wherein the controller obtains the tilting information using a gyro sensor.
