METHOD FOR PROVISION OF AIRCRAFT FLIGHT VORTEX SAFETY Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01S13/08 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method comprises transmission of "board-to-board" and "board-to-flight control center (FCC)" data in radio mode and/or telegraph mode with transmission by every aircraft (aircraft-generator) of data on parameters of vortex trace created thereby obtained by measurements and/or computation in aircraft system of coordinates. It comprises also reception of said data by another aircraft of FCC (further on referred to as subscribers) in transmitter reach of appropriate aircraft-generator. It includes also the computation of effects of vortex trace and analysis of said data by subscribers in their system of coordinates. Note here that aircraft-generator transmitted data comprises that on its location (in its system of coordinates), its transmitter category, aircraft-generator speed and bearing, its weight and data transmission time, data atmosphere turbulence, wind speed and direction, temperature and barometric data. Subscribers receiving said data estimate the chances of flying through vortex trace zone and, if necessary, measure the atmosphere characteristics and/or allow for FCC data required for said computation, and/or allow for said characteristics with allowance for changes in gusts or turbulence. Note here that vortex trace parameters are defined with allowance for vortex trace drift, stochastic atmospheric phenomena, for example, gusts of turbulence.

EFFECT: perfected methods.
