AIRCRAFT DE-ICING DETERMINATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959351 titled 'AIRCRAFT DE-ICING DETERMINATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and method for determining the probable de-icing status of aircraft scheduled to depart from airports based on various factors.
- Control unit determines probable de-icing status for aircraft based on current date, weather, and prior aircraft de-icing status.
- Factors considered include current weather conditions at airports, actual de-icing status of previous departing aircraft, and the date of departure.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the aviation industry to improve efficiency in managing de-icing procedures for aircraft departing from airports.
Problems Solved
1. Efficiently determining the de-icing status of aircraft based on various factors. 2. Enhancing the overall operational efficiency of airports by streamlining de-icing processes.
Benefits
1. Improved safety for aircraft by ensuring proper de-icing procedures are followed. 2. Cost savings for airlines by optimizing de-icing processes. 3. Enhanced on-time performance for flights by accurately predicting de-icing needs.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing de-icing procedures for airlines and airports to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to systems or methods for predicting de-icing needs for aircraft based on weather conditions and historical data.
Unanswered Questions
How does the control unit determine the probable de-icing status based on the current date?
The control unit likely uses historical data on weather patterns and de-icing requirements for specific dates to make predictions.
What measures are in place to ensure the accuracy of the probable de-icing status determined by the control unit?
The system may incorporate real-time data updates and feedback mechanisms to validate the accuracy of the predictions made.
Original Abstract Submitted
A system and a method include a control unit for determining a probable de-icing status for one or more aircraft scheduled to depart from one or more airports. The control unit is configured to determine the probable de-icing status based on a current date at the one or more airports, current weather at the one or more airports, and the actual de-icing status of a plurality of prior aircraft scheduled to depart from the one or more airports before the one or more aircraft.
