Abstract
A computing system is configured to simulate one or more onboard aircraft systems. Packets or data is generated at the computing system in a format used by onboard systems and transmitted to an aircraft system under test. Response data may be received from the system under test. Results are provided to users and/or logged to evaluate the performance of the system under test.
Claims15
A method for simulating an onboard aircraft system, the method comprising:
- generating aircraft system data at a computing system that is not an aircraft system;
- transmitting the aircraft system data from the computing system that is not the aircraft system to an aircraft system under test, wherein the aircraft system data comprises at least one multicast packet;
- receiving response data from the aircraft system under test at the computing system that is not the aircraft system;
- and
- providing results data at the computing system that is not the aircraft system;
- wherein the step of generating aircraft system data comprises receiving an instruction indicating content of the aircraft system data, and generating the aircraft system data based on the instruction;
- and
- wherein the content of the aircraft system data comprises at least one of flight information, date, time, flight number, or airport information.
A computing system that is not an aircraft system, the computing system configured to simulate an aircraft system, the computing system comprising:
- a memory comprising instructions;
- a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor, when executing the instructions, performs operations comprising:
- generating aircraft system data;
- transmitting the aircraft system data to an aircraft system under test;
- receiving response data from the aircraft system under test;
- and
- providing results data;
- wherein the operation of generating aircraft system data comprises receiving an instruction indicating content of the aircraft system data, and generating the aircraft system data based on the instruction;
- and wherein the content of the aircraft system data comprises at least one of flight information, date, time, flight number, or airport information.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer-readable instructions stored thereon, the computer-readable instructions comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising:
- generating aircraft system data;
- transmitting the aircraft system data to an aircraft system under test;
- receiving response data from the aircraft system under test;
- and
- providing results data;
- wherein the operation of generating aircraft system data comprises receiving an instruction indicating content of the aircraft system data, and generating the aircraft system data based on the instruction;
- and wherein the content of the aircraft system data comprises at least one of flight information, date, time, flight number, or airport information.
