Problems solved by technology

using traditional radio communications with ground stations and / or other aircraft is not feasible, as there is no large area of ​​communication available e.g. over larger sea areas
On the other hand, the use of broadband satellite links is not sufficiently secure for this purpose, as passengers may be able to use data communications
on the other hand, broadband satellite communications currently in use cannot be used over large areas because access is generated to geostationary satellites in equatorial regions, resulting in no data link being established in polar regions

Embodiment Construction

[0015] The Figure is a schematic, simplified illustration of a high capacity passenger aircraft 10, which may be a passenger or cargo aircraft. Windows are provided in the fuselage region on opposite sides 12 , 14 . An antenna 16 is detachably mounted on each side 12 , 14 of said aircraft 10 in at least one window of the passenger cabin or cargo space. The antenna 16 is clipped into a recess for the window frame by means of an adapter part (not shown in the drawing).

[0016] Each antenna 16 is connected by a cable 18 to routing means 20 in the form of a WLAN modem. The routing device 20 is configured for wireless communication (WLAN) with a credit card reader in the cabin. Further, the modem 20 is connected to a device containing flight data in the cockpit of the aircraft by wireless communication not shown in the drawings, so as to transmit flight data through the antenna 16 . Data transmission from the routing device 20 into the cockpit is excluded for safety reasons.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for position-independent transmission and reception of data to and from a high-capacity passenger aircraft (10). The method is characterized by comprising steps of: installing, in the vicinity of a window of the passenger aircraft (10), at least one antenna (16) designed for communicating with an airborne communications hub (22); transmitting and / or receiving thedata between at least the antenna (16) and an airborne communications hub (22) during the flight; and transmitting the data within the aircraft (10), between the antenna (16) and a routing device (20)connected to the antenna (16).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for transmitting data from a high-capacity passenger aircraft. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, data is transmitted by radio between a high-capacity passenger aircraft and a ground station or other aircraft. The range of such data transmissions by radio is limited by the range of site radio transmissions. It is more well known that modern high-capacity passenger aircraft communicate via radio and satellite, allowing telephone communication or web surfing during flight. For this purpose, satellite dishes must be mounted separately on the outside of the aircraft, which is technically complex and costly. Retrofit installations of such satellite dishes must go through a lengthy and complex approval process. [0003] A need exists to enable location-independent data transmission and reception feasible for high-capacity passenger aircraft. This is especially important for the transmission of flight da...
