Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to obtaining, by a device, data associated with an aircraft, processing, by the device, the data, determining, by the device, that the aircraft is likely to impact an object with a probability greater than a threshold within a second threshold amount of time based on the processed data, and causing, by the device, a change in an orientation of the aircraft based on the determination.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: obtaining, by a device, data associated with an aircraft; processing, by the device, the data; determining, by the device, that the aircraft is likely to impact the ground with a probability greater than a threshold within a second threshold amount of time based on the processed data; causing, by the device, a change in an attitude of the aircraft relative to the ground based on the determination to adjust an impact angle of the ai…
