17/349056

Inventors:

- SOUTH BURLINGTON VT, US
Charles C. Guthrie - Burlington VT, US
Nicholas Moy - Burlington VT, US
Alexander Hoekje List - South Burlington VT, US

Assignee:

BETA AIR, LLC - SOUTH BURLINGTON VT

International Classification:

B64F 5/60
G05B 17/02
B64C 13/04
B64D 31/00

Abstract:

Aspects relate to method and systems for wrapping simulated intra-aircraft communication to a physical controller area network. An exemplary method includes receiving simulator data from an aircraft simulator, disaggregating a simulated digital message from the simulator data, abstracting a simulated signal as a function of the simulated digital message, transmitting the simulated signal on at least a controller area network (CAN), receiving, using at least an aircraft component communicative with the at least a CAN, the simulated signal by way of the at least a CAN, transmitting a phenomenal signal by way of the at least a CAN, receiving the phenomenal signal by way of the at least a CAN, converting a phenomenal digital message as a function of the phenomenal signal, and inputting the phenomenal digital message to the aircraft simulator.

Abstract:

Aspects relate to augmented reality (AR) methods and systems for simulated operation of an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. An exemplary AR system includes at least an aircraft component of an eVTOL aircraft, a computing device configured to operate a flight simulator to simulate flight in an environment and simulate at least a virtual representation interactive with the flight simulator, where the at least a virtual representation includes an aircraft digital twin of the at least an aircraft component, and a mesh network configured to communicatively connect the at least an aircraft component and the computing device and communicate encrypted data.
