Description

Unique text determining the feasibility for implementation and manufacture of ground-based black box systems

Real-time Ground-based Flight Data and Cockpit Voice Recorder helps familiarize the reader with the nature of issues surrounding existing black box technology integrated on aircrafts and to understand the benefits and importance of proposed real-time ground-based alternative solutions. These are based on predicting aircraft problems while in flight, including understanding the feasibility of using the already existing space and ground-based wireless technologies infrastructures for this purpose.

The authors discuss expense reductions in the crash investigation when implementing the new concepts in this book as compared to existing procedures when aircraft accidents occur. The text also opens new research ideas for future investigations.Simulation codes are included to allow for further independent exploration into the covered concepts and ideas.

Topics covered in the book include:

• Satelite Data Transfer Implementation, including basics of the technology, channel data rate, PSTN-based satellite implementation, and expected availability of spectrum
• Very High Frequency Digital Link (VDL), including modes, sublayers, data transfer, packet and frame structure, and number of channels needed to support a certain number of airplanes
• Modern Airplane Communication Technologies (including direct air-to-ground communication using 5G) and terahertz band communications; and their integration into aviation communications
• Black box final architecture and connectivity, including ground and UAV connectivity, and general black box wireless communications challenges

For aviation industrial engineers and technical staff, managers, and aerospace and academic researchers, Real-time Ground-based Flight Data and Cockpit Voice Recorder is a valuable guide to existing and future technology to successfully predict aircraft problems during flight.
