20250242938. METHOD AND SYSTEM TO COMPUTE DE-ACCELERATION PERFORMANCE FOR A VTOL AIRCRAFT DURING APPROACH AND LANDING
Applicant: Honeywell International Inc
Abstract: A method and system for computing the deceleration performance to a destination point of a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft has been developed. First, predicted performance of the deceleration of the VTOL aircraft is generated and based on pre-determined data for the VTOL aircraft. Sensors of the VTOL aircraft are monitored to capture real-time performance of the deceleration of the VTOL aircraft. A blended display is created of deceleration of the VTOL aircraft by blending the predi...
