5 results about "Free flight" patented technology

Free flight is a developing air traffic control method that uses no centralized control (e.g. air traffic controllers). Instead, parts of airspace are reserved dynamically and automatically in a distributed way using computer communication to ensure the required separation between aircraft. This new system may be implemented into the U.S. air traffic control system in the next decade. Its potential impact on the operations of the national airspace system is disputed, however.

An AI algorithm-based online monitoring method for external leakage of an aircraft hydraulic system

PendingCN122170134AFluid-pressure actuator safetyFluid-pressure actuator testingFree flightOnline model
This invention belongs to the field of hydraulic system technology and discloses an AI-based online monitoring method for external leakage in aircraft hydraulic systems. It aims to solve the technical problems of poor real-time performance, high false alarm rate, and difficulty in adapting to dynamic operating conditions in existing monitoring methods. The aircraft hydraulic system is the power source for critical functions such as door opening and closing, landing gear retraction and extension, braking, and control surface actuation. External leakage can easily lead to serious safety accidents. Existing monitoring methods have obvious defects, insufficient generalization ability, and inadequate real-time performance. The steps of this method are as follows: First, select multiple leak-free flight parameter data, extract multi-dimensional parameters such as pressure and temperature, and construct a feature vector set after preprocessing; second, based on AI algorithms, construct and train a fuel tank oil volume prediction model under leak-free operating conditions; third, input real-time collected multi-dimensional time-series data into the model and output the predicted oil volume value; finally, compare the predicted value with the measured value from the level sensor, determine the leakage status, sensor failure, or model deviation through the volume difference, and realize online model updates. This invention integrates multi-dimensional parameter features, improves the accuracy of leak identification and anti-interference ability, can output monitoring results in real time and provide early warning of leakage, enhances the robustness of hydraulic system leak monitoring, reduces operation and maintenance costs, and can provide technical support for early warning of leaks in aircraft hydraulic systems, thus having significant engineering application value.

A tethered unmanned aerial vehicle airport system capable of automatic switching between tethered and free flight and a control method thereof

This invention discloses a tethered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) airport system and its control method that automatically switches between tethered and free flight. The system includes an airport housing, an automatic cable reel assembly, an automatic cable disconnection and docking assembly, and an adaptable UAV. The airport housing integrates an automatic hatch, a liftable platform, a storage cavity, and charging and vehicle-mounted power supply interfaces. Both the hatch and platform are driven by stepper motors. The docking assembly is located inside the platform's conical cylinder, and the UAV has a pairing and locking mechanism and deformable landing gear, adaptable to fixed-point docking and ground landing. The system is linked by a PLC to various modules and the UAV flight controller, supporting vehicle-mounted manual / automatic control. The winch is powered by 400-900V DC output via AC-DC, and the onboard DC-DC converter provides battery charging. The PLC adjusts the cable reel speed based on tension sensor signals to stabilize tension. This invention significantly improves the scenario adaptability and operational efficiency of tethered UAV systems, meeting the engineering application requirements of various low-altitude operation scenarios.

An unmanned aerial vehicle path planning method based on improved BIT* algorithm

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a UAV path planning method based on an improved BIT* algorithm, applied to the technical field of UAV navigation and path planning. The method comprises receiving a starting point and an ending point of a current UAV, static constraint information, and dynamic state information of other UAVs in the airspace; fusing the static constraint information and the dynamic state information of the other UAVs to construct a unified three-dimensional space-time cost map; based on the starting point and the ending point of the current UAV, an improved BIT* algorithm is used to search for a path on the three-dimensional space-time cost map to generate an initial planning path of the current UAV; based on the dynamic state information of the other UAVs, future trajectories of the other UAVs are predicted, and based on the trajectories, space-time conflict detection is performed on the initial planning path; if potential conflict is detected, a cooperative conflict resolution operation is performed to generate a conflict-free flight path. In this way, the UAV can achieve efficient, safe and smooth flight in a complex dynamic multi-constraint environment.
