101 Aircraft cabin pressure control for ascents and descents US768505 1991-09-30 US5186681A 1993-02-16 Floyd R. Emmons
The rate of change of cabin air pressure in an aircraft cabin during aircraft ascent and descent is controlled as a function of a ratio which is equal to (P.sub.ld -P.sub.c)/(P.sub.ld -P.sub.a) during descent, and is equal to (P.sub.cc -P.sub.c)/(P.sub.cr -P.sub.a) during ascent, where P.sub.ld is ambient pressure at the aircraft landing site, P.sub.c is cabin pressure, P.sub.a is external aircraft ambient pressure, P.sub.cc is cabin pressure at cruise altitude, and P.sub.cr is ambient pressure at cruise altitude. A set point value for the ratio is computed throughout aircraft ascent and descent, and compared to the ratio to schedule a variable flow area of an outflow valve in order to drive the difference (i.e., the error) between the ratio and the desired value for the ratio to zero. By using an adjustable value for the desired set point, control of cabin pressure rate of change is improved during ascent and descent, since the cabin pressure rate of change is maintained at a reduced, linear rate, thereby providing a more comfortable environment for passengers.
102 Ground handling, altitude control and longitudinal stability of airships US640585 1991-01-14 US5143322A 1992-09-01 Earl W. Mason
The present invention relates to methods for ground handling, controlling the altitude and for increasing the longitudinal stability of airships. The invention involves an airship hull or envelope to enclose air-filled ballonets and a lifting gas. The buoyancy obtained may be changed by varying the air pressure in the ballonets, thus forcing compression or allowing expansion of the lifting gas. Suitable air pump and valve means are provided to allow two different levels of pressure differential in the ballonets. The buoyancy of the airship is decreased during ground handling and during descent and increased during climb. The airship cruise altitude is slightly above pressure height.
103 System and method for stochastic aircraft flight-path modeling US10970279 2004-10-22 US07248949B2 2007-07-24 W. Dwight Love; Michael P. McLaughlin; Roland O. Lejeune
Stochastic models of aircraft flight paths and a method for deriving such models from recorded air traffic data. Each stochastic model involves identifying the flight plan for one or more aircraft; identifying important parameters from each flight plan, such as aircraft type, cruise altitude, and airspeed; optionally identifying flight plan amendments for each flight; representing each route of flight as a series of navigational fixes; representing at least one aircraft flight parameter probabilistically; modeling realistic differences in at least one dimension between each planned route of flight and the flight path as it might actually be flown; and communicating the modeled deviations or simulated flight paths to the user. At least one aircraft flight parameter is represented as a random variable with a particular statistical distribution, such as a normal (Gaussian), Laplacian, or logistic distribution; or with a more complex algorithm containing one or more random elements. The modeled flight parameters may be any of lateral position, longitudinal position, climb altitude, descent altitude, climb airspeed, descent airspeed, cruise airspeed, cruise altitude transition, or response time to a flight plan amendment.

A sealing member for forming a seal in an aircraft, the sealing member comprising: a sealing material; and a stiffening element which provides structural support to the sealing material and comprises a material with a glass transition temperature below +50° C. The stiffening element is relatively flexible when the aircraft is at low altitude (high temperature) but becomes relatively stiff (increasing resistance to seal flutter) when the aircraft is at cruise altitude (low temperature).
106 PROCEDE ET INSTALLATION DE DISTRIBUTION D'AIR ENRICHI EN OXYGENE AUX PASSAGERS D'UN AERONEF PCT/FR2002/000389 2002-02-01 WO2002081306A1 2002-10-17 CAZENAVE, Jean-Michel; DEHAYES, Jean; VANDROUX, Olivier; ZAPATA, Richard

Selon ce procédé, on fournit aux passagers une première fraction d'air enrichi en oxygène, à partir de moyens de fourniture inépendants, en particulier de bouteilles haute pression (16), pendant une phase de descente de l'aéronef entre une altitude normale de croisière et une altitude de déroutement intermédiaire.

109 Adjustable airplane appendages for wave drag reduction US924641 1978-07-14 US4256276A 1981-03-17 Victor R. Ciminera; Ronald H. Hendrickson
Movable appendages or stores containers that are positioned controlled in regard to an airplane so as to approximate the cross-sectional area distribution of a minimum drag body of revolution through varied flight regimes of the airplane from take-off to landing and thereby obtain favorable interaction of pressure fields throughout such flight regimes and adjust the store increment on the locus of least drag points in deference to the teaching of the prior art to design the location and shape of such appendages in a compromise position for but one portion of an airplane's flight regime; i.e., normal cruise altitude and speed.
110 METHOD FOR PROVIDING A WARNING OF RADIATION-DOSE-RELEVANT SPACE-WEATHER EVENTS AT CRUISING ALTITUDES US14532206 2014-11-04 US20150123004A1 2015-05-07 Matthias Meier; Daniel Matthia
The method for providing a warning of radiation-dose-relevant space-weather events at cruising altitudes comprises the steps of detecting radiation data of the atmospheric radiation, particularly of the ionized radiation in the atmosphere, and providing a radiation model for 3D-spatially resolved estimation of a radiation field at cruising altitudes of the earth's atmosphere by use of a radiation dose rate scale based on a continuous range of values. Moreover, the 3D-spatially resolved rates of the effective radiation dose on the basis of the detected radiation data and the radiation model will be estimated. The radiation dose rate scale is divided, based on a continuous range of values, into a discrete, i.e. graduated radiation dose rate scale comprising individual successive ranges of values of increasing radiation dose rates, and respectively one index will be assigned to each range of values, wherein a first range of values is between a radiation dose rate of zero and a presettable first upper limit, a second range of values is between the first upper limit and a second upper limit which is equal to a presettable multiple of the first upper limit, and each further range of values is between the upper limit of the next smaller range of values and an upper limit which is equal to the presettable multiple of the upper limit of the next smaller range of values. As a warning, there is indicated the index of that range of values within which is situated the estimated radiation dose rate for a presettable range in the earth's atmosphere.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide flight management systems and methods for managing aircraft flight control including a flight path or an altitude taking into account different weather conditions.SOLUTION: A decision support system 30 may be provided to select parameters for an FMS 32. These parameters may be fixed or dynamically changed during flight. The FMS 32 receives initial and optionally updated parameter information from a flight parameter selection module 34. Weather information and/or flight time information (e.g., departure time, current time, and/or estimated arrival time) are received by the flight parameter selection module 34, and the flight parameter selection module 34 outputs control parameters to the FMS 32. For example, a cost index (CI) value, a cruise altitude and/or a traverse flight path may be set or updated using the flight parameter selection module 34.
114 DISPLAY INFORMATION TO SUPPORT CLIMB OPTIMIZATION DURING CRUISE US12891581 2010-09-27 US20120078450A1 2012-03-29 Stephane Marche; Petr Krupansky; Tomas Neuzil; George Papageorgiou; Jean-Luc Derouineau
Methods and systems are provided for executing a single continuous altitude change by an aircraft to cruise altitude using an electronic flight bag via a flight management system. The method comprises the determination of an altitude change in a flight plan during the cruise phase of the flight plan. Based on the altitude change and a mathematical model of the aircraft an optimum vertical trajectory profile or the aircraft is determined from which an angle of attack (AOA) and a thrust is derived to achieve the optimum vertical trajectory. From the AOA and the thrust, the required aircraft control variables are determined that may be applied to the engines and the control surface actuators of the aircraft.
115 Use of cabin air for generation of water via exhaust gas of a fuel cell US11829200 2007-07-27 US07935447B2 2011-05-03 Christian Wolff; Markus Maibach; Claus Hoffjann
A water generation system for the generation of water on board an aircraft comprises a fuel cell device having an exhaust for an exhaust gas, a condenser and an outflow valve for discharging cabin air, which is drawn off through the condenser due to the pressure difference between the cabin pressure and ambient pressure without extensive cooling circuits or pumps, for example. The condenser may be coupled to the exhaust such that the exhaust gas is cooled by cabin air, and the outflow valve is connected to the condenser and to the environment of the aircraft, such that, when the aircraft is at cruising altitude, the cabin air is drawn through the condenser and is discharged into the environment.

119 AIRCRAFT PCT/CA2002/001571 2002-10-17 WO2003035470A1 2003-05-01 LAMONT, John, S.

An aircraft (10) is provided having a rotary lifting system (26) including vanes (36) supported thereon which are movable between a deployed position in which the vanes (36) provide lift to the aircraft (10) when rotated and an undeployed position in which the rotary lifting system (26) is generally in the shape of an airfoil so as to provide lift when propelled in a forward direction. A forward drive system (54) is included to generate forward thrust to propel the housing in the forward direction. The airfoil shape of the rotary lifting system (26) permits the wings (24) of conventional aircraft to be reduced or even eliminated to minimize excessive drag from wings which are larger than necessary for normal cruise on conventional aircraft. Furthermore, the engines(54) of the forward drive system are not required to be any larger or more powerful than appropriate for sustaining flight at normal cruise height.

120 HYBRID ASSEMBLY FOR AN AIRCRAFT US13785737 2013-03-05 US20130227950A1 2013-09-05 Richard Anderson; Lori Costello; Charles Eastlake; Glenn P. Greiner
A propeller driven aircraft powered by either an internal combustion engine or an electric motor. The parallel system hybrid aircraft can takeoff with the internal combustion engine and climb to a cruising altitude. The internal combustion engine then can be turned off and the electric motor turned on to power the aircraft's propeller. The aircraft is capable of alternating operation between the electric motor and internal combustion engine as often as required at altitude. The aircraft can be landed using either the internal combustion engine or the electric motor. The transition of power from the internal combustion engine to the electric motor and back is performed through a hybrid clutch and pulley assembly that interconnects the internal combustion engine propeller flange to the propeller driveshaft. The electric motor is connected to the hybrid assembly through belts and sheaves. The electric motor throttle is controlled in the cockpit.
