DEVICE FOR SYNTHESIS OF CARTOGRAPHIC REPRESENTATIONS Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: aircraft instrumentation engineering; manned flying vehicle information representation systems.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device is provided with computer module, memory module and graphical module and is designed for dynamic forming of sequence of cartographic mimic frames and their animation demonstration on displays of onboard multi-functional indicators. Device employs cartographic data kept in memory and present flight data. Actual navigational information pertaining to present moment may be obtained by personnel in graphical form at high level of clearness and readability, which is achieved due to realization of definite modes and conditions of flight and conditions of several modes of flight of synthesis of cartographic mimic frames which differ in criterion of selected representations, methods of representation, cartographic projections and rules of positioning, orientation and scaling-up of cartographic representations. Mode of synthesis of cartographic mimic frames is selected automatically according to results of identification of present stage, mode and conditions of flight or at the discretion of personnel.

EFFECT: possibility of keeping the personnel informed on flight conditions at all phases of flight.
