System and Method for Controlling Landing of Air Mobility Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18357688 titled 'System and Method for Controlling Landing of Air Mobility Vehicle
The abstract describes a system involving an air mobility vehicle, an airport device, and a service provider to facilitate vertical landing of the vehicle on a landing pad.
- The air mobility vehicle transmits a radio signal to determine its relative position when permitted to land on a landing pad.
- The airport device receives the radio signal, determines the vehicle's relative position, and transmits this information.
- The service provider sends a command to allow the vehicle to land vertically when it is within a predetermined range from the landing pad.
Potential Applications: - This technology could be used in autonomous drone delivery systems. - It could also be applied in emergency response situations where quick and precise landing is crucial.
Problems Solved: - Enables efficient and safe landing of air mobility vehicles on designated landing pads. - Facilitates communication between the vehicle, airport device, and service provider for coordinated operations.
Benefits: - Enhances the accuracy and reliability of landing procedures. - Streamlines the process of landing air mobility vehicles in various scenarios.
Commercial Applications: "Vertical Landing System for Air Mobility Vehicles: Enhancing Precision and Safety in Aerial Operations" This technology could be utilized in commercial drone delivery services, emergency medical transport, and military operations.
Questions about the Vertical Landing System for Air Mobility Vehicles: 1. How does this system improve the overall efficiency of air mobility vehicle operations? 2. What are the key advantages of using radio signals for determining the relative position of the vehicle during landing procedures?
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment system includes an air mobility vehicle configured to transmit a radio signal required to determine a relative position of the air mobility vehicle in response to receiving a signal indicating that landing on a landing pad is permitted, an airport device configured to receive the radio signal, determine the relative position of the air mobility vehicle, and transmit the relative position, and a service provider configured to transmit a command for allowing the air mobility vehicle to land vertically to the air mobility vehicle when it is determined that the air mobility vehicle is located within a predetermined range from the landing pad based on the relative position.
