Aerial Vehicle Altitude Display for Ground Awareness
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing flying body technologies do not effectively notify nearby people of the flight information, such as altitude and progression direction, which is crucial for safety and awareness.
Innovation Solution
Incorporating an altimeter with an emitting and receiving section to calculate altitude, a posture detecting system to adjust orientations, and a display apparatus using light emitting sections to indicate altitude and progression direction, allowing for compact and visible flight information display.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If the video brightness is increased to make it easier to see at high altitude, then the video visibility is improved, but the energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the video brightness adjustable and adaptive rather than fixed. The brightness is dynamically changed based on the flight altitude, with higher brightness at higher altitudes and lower brightness at lower altitudes. This dynamic adjustment optimizes visibility while managing energy consumption efficiently throughout the flight.
2Loss of information
If separate display apparatus are provided for altitude and progression direction, then the information display capability is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a single light emitting section that serves multiple functions: it displays both the flight altitude and the progression direction of the aerial vehicle. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate display apparatus, reducing device complexity while maintaining complete information display capability.
