Forming Route Trajectories for Aiborne Multi-Function Displays
Abstract
Introduction: To ensure that the aircraft crew efficiently follows the specified flight plan, the flight route trajectory is mapped onto airborne multi-function displays. This requires specialized mathematical tools which would transform the flight plan data and visualize it as a predictable trajectory of the aircraft in the horizontal plane. Purpose: The goal is to develop algorithms for building aircraft route trajectories in the horizontal plane, based on the unification of common trajectories. The algorithms should be implemented on airborne computer systems under limited computing resources. Results: Algorithms have been built for the formation and calculation of route trajectories and their visual output. A flight trajectory is drawn on an airborne multi-function display as a series of graphic primitives in accordance with the route data array. The array is generated by the on-board software, using the information provided in the flight mission in Jeppesen database format or similar. When building the array, the given route is reduced to the formats of three standard predefined trajectories. Each of the three has a standard description and an algorithm for calculating the parameters which form an array of the data to display. Practical relevance: The obtained algorithms which form the route trajectories unify the algorithms which generate the information to display and optimize the calculated data in order to control the flight path in the horizontal plane.Published
