Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A control and simulation system (CSS) has a flight system configured to selectively provide flight mode of operation of an aircraft and a simulation system configured to selectively provide a simulation mode of operating the aircraft.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A control and simulation system (CSS), comprising: a flight system configured to selectively provide flight mode of operation of an aircraft; and a simulation system configured to selectively provide a simulation mode of operating the aircraft. 2 . The CSS of claim 1 , wherein the aircraft must be grounded prior to entering the simulation mode. 3 . The CSS of claim 1 , wherein the CSS is configured to poll a status of a weight on wheels sensor. 4 . The CSS of claim 1 , wherein the CSS is configured to determine whether an auxiliary ground power unit is connected to the aircraft. 5 . The CSS of claim 1 , wherein the CSS requires a passcode authentication prior to entering the simulation mode. 6 . The CSS of claim 1 , wherein at least one functionality of the aircraft in the flight mode is prevented from being utilized during operation of the aircraft in the simulation mode. 7 . The CSS of claim 1 , wherein the CSS is a ground-based system. 8 . The CSS of claim 7 , wherein the aircraft is simulated. 9 . The CSS of claim 7 , wherein the aircraft is configured so as not to be able to achieve flight. 10 . An aircraft, comprising: a control and simulation system (CSS), comprising: a flight system configured to selectively provide flight mode of operation of the aircraft; and a simulation system configured to selectively provide a simulation mode of operating the aircraft. 11 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein the aircraft must be grounded prior to entering the simulation mode. 12 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein the CSS is configured to poll a status of a weight on wheels sensor. 13 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein the CSS is configured to determine whether an auxiliary ground power unit is connected to the aircraft. 14 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein the CSS requires a passcode authentication prior to entering the simulation mode. 15 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein at least one functionality of the aircraft in the flight mode is prevented from being utilized during operation of the aircraft in the simulation mode. 16 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein the aircraft comprises a helicopter. 17 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein the aircraft comprises a tiltrotor aircraft. 18 . The aircraft of claim 10 , wherein the aircraft comprises an airplane.
