摘要： A method of providing convective weather data includes accessing lightning data, accessing statistical data representing a relationship between lightning flash rate data and at least one of reflectivity data and weather threat data, and accessing at least one of time of year data, geographic location data, temperature data, and altitude data. The method includes generating a lightning flash map based on the accessed lightning data, the accessed statistical data, and the at least one of time of year data, geographic location data, temperature data, and altitude data. The lightning flash map indicates at least one of reflectivity and a weather threat. The method provides the lightning flash map to an output port.

摘要： A hazard warning system includes a processing system. The processing system determines a vertically integrated liquid (VIL) parameter. The processing system receives radar reflectivity data associated with an aircraft radar antenna and determines the VIL parameter by determining a first reflectivity value at a first altitude and a second reflectivity value at a second altitude using the radar reflectivity data. The processing system determines the VIL parameter using a base storm altitude and a top storm altitude.

摘要： The present disclosure describes an apparatus including a composite panel. The apparatus includes a first composite panel including a first optical fiber embedded therein, the first optical fiber being arranged in a pattern, and a first input port connected to a first end of the first optical fiber, the first input port configured to receive an optical signal from an optical time domain reflectometer. The optical time domain reflectometer is configured to send the optical signal through the first input port and measure a strength of a reflected optical signal that is reflected back from the first optical fiber, wherein the strength indicates a measured optical impedance of the first optical fiber. A measured optical impedance that is substantially the same as a baseline optical impedance for the fiber indicates no damage, while a measured optical impedance that differs from the baseline optical impedance by a predetermined threshold indicates damage.

摘要： A switchable optical system includes a primary optical system positioned to receive a forward view image, forward from the vehicle, during a reconnaissance mode of operation. A secondary optical system is operatively associated with the primary optical system for receiving opposing side images, side-looking from the vehicle. An imaging sensor is operatively associated with the primary optical system and with the secondary optical system. A mode switch is operatively associated with the primary optical system and the secondary optical system for switching between the reconnaissance mode of operation and a biomimetic mode of operation. The forward view image is sensed by the imaging sensor during the reconnaissance mode of operation; and, a portion of the forward view image and the opposing side images are simultaneously sensed by the imaging sensor for balancing the optic flow during the biomimetic mode of operation.

摘要： A system and technique is disclosed which enables the measurement and display of aircraft groundspeed using a modified FMCW radar altimeter. The system is constructed to have a conventional FMCW altimeter transmitter and receiver for transmitting and receiving vertical return signals, and a narrowbeam forward-looking antenna and associated receiver for detecting return signals from the forward angle. The transmitted signal is triangularly modulated to produce returns on both the upsweep and downsweep of the modulation and the difference between the frequencies of those returns, as detected by the forward looking antenna, is proportional to aircraft slant velocity. The system also detects slant range and altitude and combines them with slant velocity to produce an output representing the aircraft groundspeed.

摘要： An aircraft landing and/or taxiing system has a plurality of landing zone, runway, and/or taxiway lights capable of receiving information signals and transmitting optically signals representative of the information signals. A processing system for providing the information signals to the plurality of lights is also used. The system also comprises a sensor tuned to receive light of a specific range of wavelengths, the light being emitted from the lights. Also, a processing system coupled to the sensor and configured with software to interpret signals received by the sensor is used. Program code runs on the processing system. The program code is configured to determine the location of an aircraft on the taxiway based on the light signal received from one or more of the taxiway lights. Also, the aircraft landing and/or taxiing system utilizes modulated lights to provide information pertinent to aircraft landing and/or taxiing operations.

摘要： An avionic weather radar system and method can sense a path attenuation condition using radar returns of received via a radar antenna onboard the aircraft. Images of weather can be displayed using an outside source and the radar returns. The images are displayed using information from the outside source when the path attenuation condition is sensed. The images can be displayed using speckled areas, cross hatched areas or other symbols to represent the information from the outside source. The images of the weather can be provided on an avionic display.
