new aircraft technology
Guys,
Doing a project for university and wondering on your thoughts of these hypothetical systems for future commerical jetliners?
1. Escape manoeuvrers for EGPWS equipped aircraft that are in the commercial component of aviation. For example an aircraft gets a terrain warning from the EGPWS and the flight crew do not react, the aircraft computer will automatically pitch the aircraft up and make it fly an avoidance manoeuvre to prevent it hitting terrain.
2. When the gear warning horn for the an aircraft is activated by the EGPWS and the flight crew are to busy and miss the fact that they are about to do a gear up landing, below 2500 AGL and within certain speed and configuration parameters the gear will automatically lower to prevent a wheels up landing.
3. When a commercial organisation buys a new aircraft ie.. Boeing/Airbus the way they want the pilots to fly the aircraft can be even more automated by the automatic selection of takeoff and landing profiles and cruise configurations as per the airline customer’s SOP’s.
4. To prevent taxi and runway incursions the flight crew could have the HUD display hooked up to a ground based moving map display and when the aircraft requests start and pushback ATC, would download the taxi route and runway destination into the moving map and the pilots will follow this via their HUD’s. When the aircraft gets to an intersection, hold etc… a voice would tell them to turn left/right/stop/caution/you are at the destination runway.
Are Mr boeing/airbus already thinking of stuff like this???
thank you
