Definitions
- the invention relates to a flight data storage module for storing flight data during the flight of an aircraft, for example a passenger, transport or military aircraft.
- the invention further relates to a flight data storage device, a flight data storage system and a flight data storage method.
- black box flight data recorder or colloquially as a "black box” recording devices are referred to, which are carried on board aircraft to store relevant flight data and aircraft parameters during a flight.
- the records make it possible to follow the most important events and parameters after an accident in order to reconstruct the course of the accident.
- the construction of the black boxes is designed so that the stored data remain as possible and remain readable even at high impact speeds, high temperatures and high water pressure.
- drop-off flight data recorders From military aviation so-called drop-off flight data recorders are known, which can be discarded before the impact, for example when unlocking a Schleudersit- zes.
- the aim is to protect the flight data recorder against destruction when the aircraft hits the aircraft at high speed and before a possible explosion of the weapon.
- the invention has for its object to provide a flight data storage module, a flight data storage device, a flight data storage system and a method for flight data storage, which makes it possible to further improve the backup and recovery of the relevant data.
- a flight data storage module includes a data storage device for storing data, a data receiving device for receiving the data, and a wrapper enclosing the data storage device and having a total weight less than or equal to 200 g.
- the data storage device may comprise any electronic storage element which makes it possible to store the data electronically and to read it out again, for example at a later time.
- the data storage device can be rewritable and readable in several ways and enable data storage, for example, indexed with a continuous system time and / or real time.
- the data storage device may be organized as a ring buffer. For example, it can be ensured that all data that is within a pre-defined period of time, e.g. Have been stored 15 or 30 minutes before a current time or before a current save, be stored in the data storage device retrievable and not overwritten, while older data can be overwritten.
- the data storage device a variety of data of different format and content can be recorded.
- data that can reproduce flight parameters such as altitude, speed, heading, angle of inclination, rudder and / or flap position, throttle position, and engine parameters, and can record sounds and voices, such as voice traffic from and / or. or to the cockpit, background noise in the cockpit, sound recordings from any microphone, crew member conversations, audible alarms, and flight crew member announcements via, for example, the cabin loudspeaker system.
- flight parameters such as altitude, speed, heading, angle of inclination, rudder and / or flap position, throttle position, and engine parameters
- sounds and voices such as voice traffic from and / or. or to the cockpit, background noise in the cockpit, sound recordings from any microphone, crew member conversations, audible alarms, and flight crew member announcements via, for example, the cabin loudspeaker system.
- the data receiving device may form an interface to the flight data storage module, via which the data to be recorded is transmitted to the flight data storage module. It may be contact-based via a plug-in or touch contact connection, but may also be contactless, for example, as Nahfeldkommu- nikationsschnittstelle (NFC) and, for example, have a (transmitting and / or receiving JAntenne.
- the enclosure enclosing the data storage device encapsulates the data storage device and thus protects the stored data or electronic data storage from external influences, for example from impact, moisture, radiation, and other influences.
- the flight data storage module is thus suitable for protecting the stored data from damage caused by environmental factors until read-out.
- flight data storage module with a total weight of less than or equal to 200 g leads to a small and lightweight flight data storage module.
- a flight data storage module may e.g. be provided redundantly on the aircraft and be dropped at any time without risk to humans and the environment. It is exposed to only a small impact energy due to its low mass at impact. Consequently, it is possible, if necessary, to drop such flight data storage modules at any time and without risk, if necessary with redundantly provided flight data storage modules.
- the envelope may have a maximum diameter less than or equal to 20 cm, for example less than or equal to 5 cm.
- the flight data storage module may have a total weight less than or equal to 200 g, in particular less than 100 g, 50 g or 25 g.
- the data storage device may have a capacity less than or equal to 512 gigabytes, for example less than or equal to 64 gigabytes.
- the envelope may have a spherical, ellipsoidal, ovoid, roundish convex, formed from a metal, formed of a plastic and / or at least partially signal color formed wall.
- a sheath having a maximum diameter of less than or equal to 20 cm, for example less than or equal to 5 cm or even 4 cm makes it possible to provide a flight data storage module with dimensions approximately equal to a table tennis ball. Also, the design of the flight data storage module with a total weight less than or equal to 100 g, 50 g, 25 g or even 10 g results in a small and lightweight flight data storage module. Such a flight data storage module can be dropped at any time without risk to humans and the environment.
- a data storage device with a capacity of less than or equal to 512 gigabytes, for example, less than or equal to 64 gigabytes, makes it possible to make the data storage device cost, while maintaining a sufficient storage volume for the most important data to be stored provide. Consequently, the flight data storage module can be produced inexpensively and, for example, provided redundantly on the aircraft.
- the sheath as spherical, ellipsoidal, ovoid, i. if necessary, an irregularly ovate, round-convex wall makes it possible, e.g. an air data storage module of light weight and small dimensions while still providing the greatest possible stability, e.g. to protect the data storage device in an impact.
- the sheath may be formed of metal or plastic such that predetermined impact characteristics can be overcome without adversely affecting the data storage device (e.g., data loss).
- an at least partially signal-colored wall for example in red, orange and / or yellow, for example. with fluorescent or reflective optical effect, can facilitate finding the flight data storage module after a drop or crash.
- a e.g. or a pictogram requesting a finder to locate a found flight data storage module, e.g. to hand over immediately to the competent authorities or to inform them.
- the flight data storage module can be made small, lightweight, compact and robust. It is ensured that it does not cause serious damage when dropped, and that the storage device is protected from the effects of the impact. Furthermore, the flight data storage module may be made floatable by the enclosure enclosing the data storage device, which may facilitate finding, for example, an over-the-sea accident. Such a designed flight data storage module can be manufactured inexpensively and used redundantly. For example, it is not absolutely necessary to make such a flight data storage module completely refractory, since it is assumed because of the redundancy that at least some of the several flight data storage modules in this case survive the accident unscathed or readable.
- the data receiving device may be configured to receive the data contactlessly. Additionally or alternatively, in this embodiment, the enclosure may also enclose the data reception device.
- a data receiving device for contactless transmission of the data allows easy data transmission e.g. by near-field communication, for example according to the known communication protocols and systems (e.g., WLAN, Bluetooth, NFC).
- the data may be transmitted substantially simultaneously to all or more flight data storage modules and stored in the respective data storage devices. For this purpose, no mechanical contact or plug connection is necessary, which could make it difficult, for example, a dropping of the flight data storage modules.
- the flight data storage module may have a signal transmission device designed to emit a location signal.
- the signal transmission device may be at regular intervals, for example every three to four hours, or even in longer or shorter time periods, e.g. emit a signal every 30 minutes that may be suitable for air and / or water detection.
- the signal transmission device can be designed, for example, as an emergency beacon or radio transmitter. It can automatically be activated, for example, when the vehicle is dropped or when it is in contact with water, and emit an alarm signal on one or more standardized emergency radio frequencies, which can be transmitted via satellite communication and / or ground stations to corresponding emergency control centers, for example. This allows a fast deployment of rescue workers to the place of the ejection or the alleged accident and further enables a simple and cost-effective finding of the flight data storage module.
- the flight data storage module can have an electrical energy store, which is designed to supply the data exchange device, the data storage device and / or the signal transmission device with electrical energy.
- the flight data storage module can have a charging device for, for example, contactless and / or contact-bound charging of the electrical energy store with electrical energy.
- the electrical energy store ensures that the components of the flight data storage module and in particular the signal transmission device are also supplied with sufficient energy after the flight data storage module has been dropped, which makes it possible, for example, to transmit the positioning signal regularly over a predefined period of time.
- the electrical energy storage can also be used before the discharge to supply the data receiving device and an optional processor with electrical energy.
- the charging device can be arranged, for example, in an environment of the flight data storage module before the launch and "charge the electrical energy storage regularly or continuously.”
- the charge can be transmitted without contact, in particular inductively which enables charging of the electric energy storage with high efficiency and at the same time does not hinder a dropping of the flight data storage module.
- a flight data storage device comprises a plurality of flight data storage modules, each having a data storage device for storing data, a data receiving device for receiving the data, and a wrapper enclosing the data storage device. Furthermore, the flight data storage device has a receptacle, e.g. a container for arranging the plurality of flight data storage modules in and / or on an aircraft. Furthermore, the flight data storage device has an ejection device arranged on the receptacle for the mechanical ejection of at least part of the plurality of flight data storage modules.
- the flight data storage device may thus be equipped with a plurality of flight data storage modules, for example with 5, 10 or more flight data storage modules.
- This redundant design is possible because according to the described embodiments, the flight data storage modules can be provided inexpensively. Furthermore, this redundant design ensures high security, since not only a single flight data memory is provided, but several flight data storage modules, on each of which the relevant data are stored. Thus, a single flight data memory is more likely to be threatened by total destruction or loss than a large number of flight data storage modules, since locating a single flight data memory module makes the relevant data accessible.
- the container also referred to as a receptacle
- the container can have the necessary communication technology in order, for example, to supply the respective data receiving devices with the data for storage in the respective flight data storage module.
- the ejection device arranged on the receptacle or the container can, for example, have a folding mechanism or a flap which can be triggered easily and quickly, and which opens the container when it is triggered so that the flight data storage modules can be ejected or fall out.
- the ejection device can have further ejection mechanisms which make it possible, for example, to quickly release any plug-in connections for data communication or for electrical charging if required.
- a flight data storage device comprises a plurality of flight data storage modules according to one of the above-described embodiments.
- a flight data storage system comprises a flight data storage device according to one of the embodiments described above. Furthermore, the system comprises a data collection device for collecting data in a flight data system of the aircraft and a data transfer device for transferring the data collected by the data collection device to the data receiving device of at least one of the plurality of flight data storage modules.
- the flight data storage device may be arranged in or on the aircraft, for example, such that ejection of the plurality of flight data storage modules by the ejection device is easily possible.
- the data collection device can be designed in such a way that it also logs, listens or picks up a data exchange, for example between the aircraft systems, for example in an aircraft-internal communication network. Furthermore, the data collection device may alternatively or additionally log the data exchange between the existing systems and an existing, for example conventional flight data recorder, which may still be installed according to the usual regulations in the aircraft.
- the data can be intercepted or tapped without interference, so that neither an interference in the data exchange between the existing aircraft systems nor an interference in the data exchange between the aircraft systems and the existing flight data recorder is to be feared. In this way, the data to be recorded can be collected without interference and without affecting the safety and function of the aircraft control and the recording in the existing flight data recorder.
- the data transmission device of the flight data storage system functions as a counterpart to the respective data receiving devices of the plurality of flight data storage modules.
- the collected data can be formatted and / or encrypted, indexed for storage (for example in a ring memory method) and transmitted to the flight data storage modules or their data receiving devices.
- the data transmission can be carried out without contact by means of near-field communication or via a contact and / or plug-in connection which is easy to solve.
- the data transmission device thus centrally controls the data transmission to the majority of the flight data memory modules, for example to each of the flight data memory modules, and thus centrally ensures the formatting, encryption and storage of the relevant flight data to be stored redundantly.
- an ejection decision device may be provided for generating an ejection command for mechanically ejecting the at least a portion of the plurality of flight data storage modules by the ejection device.
- the ejection decision means therefore centrally controls the ejection of the flight data storage modules, and decides the timing of the dropoff and the number of flight data storage modules to be dropped. For example, multiple flight data licker modules may be ejected simultaneously, so that locating at least one of the dropped data storage modules is likely. Furthermore, it is possible to drop flight data storage modules several times, at different, successive points in time. The multiple discard at different times increases the likelihood of finding at least individual flight data storage modules. Furthermore, relevant data that was collected in the system shortly before an accident, for example, can still be recorded on remaining flight data storage modules without the destruction of all flight data storage modules due to a delayed discharge.
- the ejection decision means generates the ejection command in response to a predetermined ejection criterion.
- the ejection criterion may be evaluated based on at least one information selected from a group of information comprising a date collected by the data collection device, a trigger request issued by a pilot, copilot, and / or flight attendant, information regarding an unstable attitude of the aircraft Information relating to a failure of a subsystem of the aircraft, information relating to a loss of altitude of the aircraft, and information relating to an emergency measure initiated by a pilot, copilot or flight attendant, and further data of the flight data system.
- the ejection decision device can thus ensure a timely or early ejection of at least part of the flight data storage modules, for example, in dangerous situations.
- the ejection can be triggered by different signals or the occurrence of different information.
- the data collected by the data collection device which may comprise all or at least a majority of the security-relevant data, is present in the system.
- These can be forwarded, for example, from the data collection device to the ejection decision device, where they can be evaluated according to the ejection criterion.
- This allows, for example, an automatic ejection decision of the system e.g. based on at least one date (an information unit) of the data collected by the data collection device.
- a suitable input device eg a key or a lever, must be provided.
- it is possible to evaluate information relating to an unstable attitude of the aircraft which was detected for example by position sensors of the aircraft and / or position sensors of the system for flight data storage.
- a separate position sensor of the flight data storage system can also provide indications of an unstable attitude even if the aircraft-internal network has a malfunction for data communication, eg is blocked by a flood of error messages. Also in this case, it may be decided to discard at least part of the flight data storage modules. A corresponding decision may also be based on information regarding a failure of a subsystem of the aircraft, such as an engine, a flap, or an elevator.
- information relating to an emergency action initiated by the pilot, copilot or cabin crew member such as fading in a corresponding note to the passengers of the aircraft or releasing the flaps of the oxygen supply may be used for the passengers to make a deployment decision.
- any other information of the flight data system can be used as a basis for the ejection decision, even if they were not collected for transmission to the flight data storage modules, but were detected or tapped from the in-aircraft system for data communication.
- the ejection of individual or a part of the flight data modules can be logged.
- the time and place of the ejection can be determined, for example, by means of a time and position signal (eg GPS) present in the system and stored, for example, in the remaining flight data memory modules, which enables a later reconstruction of the ejection history and, if applicable, of the accident
- information about previously dropped flight data memory modules can be read out, so that the previously ejected flight data memory modules can be located more easily.
- chereastlps have further data, for example from an early phase of the accident, which can contribute to the reconstruction of the accident.
- an encryption device may be provided for encrypting the data collected by the data collection device and to be transmitted to the data receiving device of the at least one of the plurality of flight data storage modules.
- the encryption device makes it possible to initially encrypt the data to be stored in the redundant flight data storage modules centrally. Consequently, the data stored in the flight data storage modules can only be decrypted or evaluated by authorized persons. An abuse of the ejected flight data storage modules or the data stored thereon is therefore not expected.
- An air data storage method comprises collecting data in a flight data system of an aircraft, and transmitting the collected data to a data receiving device of at least one of a plurality of flight data storage modules, wherein the flight data storage modules are disposed in a receptacle in and / or on the aircraft are. Furthermore, the method includes mechanically ejecting at least a portion of the plurality of flight data storage modules by an ejector device disposed on the container / receptacle, responsive to an ejection request in response to a predetermined ejection criteria.
- the flight data storage method may be carried out, for example, by means of any embodiment of the flight data storage modules described above, the flight data storage device described above and / or the flight data storage system described above. Any of the features described above may also be functionally utilized and procedurally implemented in the flight data storage method.
- Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a flight data storage module
- Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of a system for flight data storage.
- the embodiments shown in the figures are shown schematically and illustrate examples.
- the components are not necessarily drawn to scale and may vary in their respective size or scale with each other.
- Like reference numerals designate like or corresponding components,
- a flight data memory module 1 shows a flight data memory module 1 with a memory 2 for storing relevant flight data, for example relevant flight parameters or voice recordings as explained above, the evaluation of which may be of interest, for example, after an aircraft accident.
- the data to be stored can be transferred to the flight data storage module 1 by means of near field communication via a near field communication element 3 and stored in the memory 2.
- Receiving and storing the data is controlled by a processor 4.
- the power supply of the electronic components of the flight data storage module 1 is provided by a power supply element 5, which may have, for example, a battery and a charger for contactless charging of the battery.
- the flight data storage module 1 can optionally have a locating signal transmitter 6 which, for example, can transmit a locating signal, for example a radio signal, via a radio antenna 7 over a predetermined period of time and at regular intervals.
- the locating signal may, for example, be a signal for locating via a satellite positioning system.
- the locating signal can be a locating signal which can be transmitted by the air or water.
- the locating signal transmitter 6 can thus correspond to an emergency beacon or an emergency locator transmitter.
- the flight data storage module 1 may further comprise a casing 8 enclosing the data storage device 2, which encloses the data storage device 2 in the manner of a capsule.
- the data storage device 2 can be protected after the ejection from damaging, in particular acting on the data storage environmental influences such as moisture, radiation and mechanical effects.
- the enclosure 8 may also encapsulate the further components of the flight data storage module 1, eg the near field communication element 3, the processor 4, the power supply element 5 and / or the location signal transmitter 6.
- the envelope 8 has a substantially spherical wall, which may be characterized, for example, partially signal-colored.
- the flight data storage module 1 may have a diameter of, for example, about 4 to 5 cm, so that the flight data storage module 1 has an outer shape corresponding to a colorful table tennis ball.
- the total weight may be low, for example less than or equal to 25 g or even less than or equal to 10 g, so that no damage to humans or the environment can be expected if the flight data storage module 1 is dropped from a high altitude of an aircraft.
- the flight data storage module By enclosing the flight data storage module enclosure 8, for example, with water-impermeable wall, the flight data storage module can be made buoyant, which facilitates location after a drop over the sea.
- the flight data storage module 1 may also have other dimensions or a different shape. The illustrated embodiment of the flight data storage module 1 can consequently be made small, lightweight, compact, robust, buoyant and inexpensive.
- the flight data storage module 1 can therefore be used redundantly in aircraft and, due to its redundancy, significantly increases the probability of promptly and economically locating the flight data storage modules 1 after a drop-off or after a flight accident and supplying them to an analysis. Thus, a causal research for aviation accidents can be operated in an economical manner. If necessary. it is even possible that the emergency beacon function of the plurality of ejected flight data storage modules 1 supports locating survivors. Furthermore, due to the light and round shape, it is not to be expected that damage to the ground could be caused if the flight data memory modules 1 were dropped.
- FIG. 2 shows a flight data storage system 10 with a flight data storage device 1 1, which has a container with flight data storage modules 1 arranged therein.
- a flight data storage device 1 Arranged on the container is an ejector 12 for mechanically ejecting at least one e.g. predetermined part of the plurality of flight data storage modules 1.
- the ejection device may for example have a folding mechanism in the form of a flap, which is quickly and easily triggered.
- the ejection device 12 is controlled by an ejection decision means 13, wherein the ejection decision means 13 can generate an ejection command for ejecting at least a part of the flight data memory modules 1 and transmitted to the ejection device 12. For example, by means of an electric signal generated by the ejection decision means 13, the flap of the ejection device 12 are opened.
- a charging device 14 for contactless, for example inductive charging of the power supply elements 5 of the flight data storage modules 1 is provided on the container of the flight data storage device 1 1. In this way it can be ensured that the battery of the power supply element 5 always and in particular at the moment of the ejection has a sufficient state of charge in order to supply the locating signal transmitter 6 with the necessary electrical energy for generating the locating signal.
- the flight data storage system 10 furthermore has an encryption and formatting device 15, which can collect, encrypt, format and direct the data to be stored on the flight data storage modules 1 to the redundant flight data storage modules 1.
- data collection devices 16 may be provided which collect data exchanged between a flight data system 17 of an aircraft into which the flight data storage system 10 is integrated and a cockpit voice recorder 18 (CVR) and a flight data recorder 19 (FDR).
- the collected data may be passed from the data collection devices 16 to the encryption and formatter 15.
- the redundant flight data storage modules 1 therefore do not replace the usual flight data recorders with cockpit voice recorder 18 and flight data recorder 19, but supplement the overall system. Consequently, there is no need to separately collect the data to be stored in the flight data storage modules 1, since a data transfer to the conventional flight data recorders 18, 19 can be logged by the data collection devices 16, tapped. This picking up can take place without interference, so that any influence on the flight data system 17, the cockpit voice recorder 18 and the flight data recorder 19 can be ruled out.
- the data thus collected or recorded can furthermore be communicated to the ejection decision device 13, which on this basis is given criteria make an ejection decision and the off throwing device 12 can control, as described above.
- the flight data storage system 10 is easy to integrate into existing aircraft data systems without any adverse effects. It thus complements the known system of flight data recorders and increases the probability of finding flight data, for example, after an accident.
- the system is inexpensive to manufacture, especially because of the cost-effective design of the flight data storage modules 1. It can be cost-effectively integrated into an existing system with flight data recorders, since no separate data collection is necessary. Furthermore, it reduces the cost of salvage, since the probability of finding the redundant flight data storage modules is significantly increased due to the above-described design with Notbakenfunktion.
- the flight data storage modules 1 Due to the design of the flight data storage modules 1, the data stored in the memory 2 are largely protected from environmental influences and the consequences of an impact. Causing damage caused by the flight data storage modules 1 is to be excluded. Due to the redundancy of the flight data storage modules 1, it can be assumed that at least some of the flight data storage modules 1 can be found in a timely and undamaged manner. This enables a timely and economic evaluation of the data and thus of the causes of the accident and the course of the accident.
