121 System onboard an aircraft connected with a flight plan US13015008 2011-01-27 US08694234B2 2014-04-08 Jean-Claude Mere; Julien Dramet
An evaluation method and an evaluation system onboard an aircraft in communication with a flight management system to access a flight plan stored in memory of the flight management system, where the flight plan defines a cruising level and a minimum fuel reserve to destination objective. The evaluation system comprises circuitry to calculate a fuel consumption deviation between flight at a selected cruising altitude level and flight at an altitude level initially planned by the flight plan, where the selected altitude level is lower than the altitude level initially planned, and to determine a climb limit point from the selected cruising altitude level as a function of the fuel consumption deviation and the minimum fuel reserve objective, where the climb limit point represents the last climb point respecting the minimum fuel reserve to destination objective; and interface circuitry to provide the climb limit point and anticipative information concerning the climb limit point.
122 LOW DRAG PASSENGER-CABIN WINDOW US13902707 2013-05-24 US20130313366A1 2013-11-28 Thomas S. Hoffa; Kelvin B. Hsieh
A low drag passenger-cabin window for use on an aircraft fuselage having a generally cylindrical shape, in which the as-manufactured geometry of the window is modified so that the shape of the window at cruise altitudes is aerodynamically optimized. The window comprises a pane of transparent material. The inner and outer surfaces of the peripheral portion of the pane as manufactured conform to a generally cylindrical shape, while the inner and outer surfaces of the medial portion of the pane as manufactured are depressed inwardly in a prescribed manner relative to the peripheral portion. The surfaces of the medial portion are adapted to deflect outwardly to conform to a generally cylindrical shape in response to a predetermined air pressure differential and/or a predetermined temperature gradient experienced at cruise altitude.
123 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS PILOT BRIEFING TOOL US13784918 2013-03-05 US20130245860A1 2013-09-19 Jennifer COOPER
Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for better conveying information to a pilot and/or other members of a flight crew present on the flight deck of an aircraft. Embodiments of the invention are of particular use in the briefings that precede various phases of the flight operations of an aircraft (such as start-up of the engines, take-off, ascent to cruise altitude, descent from cruise altitude and landing). The system and method provide a briefing output relevant to the particular phases of a flight in both of a visual form and an audio form, with the briefing output including data of most relevance to the particular flight phase.

135 Aircraft cabin pressure control for ascents and descents US768505 1991-09-30 US5186681A 1993-02-16 Floyd R. Emmons
The rate of change of cabin air pressure in an aircraft cabin during aircraft ascent and descent is controlled as a function of a ratio which is equal to (P.sub.ld -P.sub.c)/(P.sub.ld -P.sub.a) during descent, and is equal to (P.sub.cc -P.sub.c)/(P.sub.cr -P.sub.a) during ascent, where P.sub.ld is ambient pressure at the aircraft landing site, P.sub.c is cabin pressure, P.sub.a is external aircraft ambient pressure, P.sub.cc is cabin pressure at cruise altitude, and P.sub.cr is ambient pressure at cruise altitude. A set point value for the ratio is computed throughout aircraft ascent and descent, and compared to the ratio to schedule a variable flow area of an outflow valve in order to drive the difference (i.e., the error) between the ratio and the desired value for the ratio to zero. By using an adjustable value for the desired set point, control of cabin pressure rate of change is improved during ascent and descent, since the cabin pressure rate of change is maintained at a reduced, linear rate, thereby providing a more comfortable environment for passengers.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide flight management systems and methods for managing aircraft flight control including a flight path or an altitude taking into account different weather conditions.SOLUTION: A decision support system 30 may be provided to select parameters for an FMS 32. These parameters may be fixed or dynamically changed during flight. The FMS 32 receives initial and optionally updated parameter information from a flight parameter selection module 34. Weather information and/or flight time information (e.g., departure time, current time, and/or estimated arrival time) are received by the flight parameter selection module 34, and the flight parameter selection module 34 outputs control parameters to the FMS 32. For example, a cost index (CI) value, a cruise altitude and/or a traverse flight path may be set or updated using the flight parameter selection module 34.
137 Container having lid welded for fluid food, and its manufacturing method JP29941299 1999-10-21 JP2001122332A 2001-05-08 KINTO TETSUAKI
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a container for which a lid welded to an opening thereof can be unsealed without allowing a fluid food housed therein to stain hands or clothes and especially without allowing the fluid food to spill out, even though being used in a space such as a cabin of a passenger plane flying at a cruising altitude where the air pressure is set at a level lower than the earth- side atmospheric pressure. SOLUTION: The container is constructed of a container main body 1, a fluid food 9 filled in the container main body, a welded lid 5 for hermetically closing the container main body 1 with a film-like lid member 6 covering the opening of the container main body welded 7 along a rim 2 of the opening, and an air layer 8 provided at the inside of the container main body 1, being in the state of negative pressure under the atmospheric pressure at a normal temperature, and the air pressure in the air layer 8 is set so as to become the same as or lower than the air pressure in a cabin of a passenger plane flying at a cruising altitude.

140 METHOD FOR PROVIDING A WARNING OF RADIATION-DOSE-RELEVANT SPACE-WEATHER EVENTS AT CRUISING ALTITUDES US14532206 2014-11-04 US20150123004A1 2015-05-07 Matthias Meier; Daniel Matthia
The method for providing a warning of radiation-dose-relevant space-weather events at cruising altitudes comprises the steps of detecting radiation data of the atmospheric radiation, particularly of the ionized radiation in the atmosphere, and providing a radiation model for 3D-spatially resolved estimation of a radiation field at cruising altitudes of the earth's atmosphere by use of a radiation dose rate scale based on a continuous range of values. Moreover, the 3D-spatially resolved rates of the effective radiation dose on the basis of the detected radiation data and the radiation model will be estimated. The radiation dose rate scale is divided, based on a continuous range of values, into a discrete, i.e. graduated radiation dose rate scale comprising individual successive ranges of values of increasing radiation dose rates, and respectively one index will be assigned to each range of values, wherein a first range of values is between a radiation dose rate of zero and a presettable first upper limit, a second range of values is between the first upper limit and a second upper limit which is equal to a presettable multiple of the first upper limit, and each further range of values is between the upper limit of the next smaller range of values and an upper limit which is equal to the presettable multiple of the upper limit of the next smaller range of values. As a warning, there is indicated the index of that range of values within which is situated the estimated radiation dose rate for a presettable range in the earth's atmosphere.
