ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
A wireless dual flight data recorder apparatus and wireless network
method using satellite communications for providing remote data
redundancy, location accuracy, and real-time access to live flight data
contained in the black box of an aircraft.
An integrated GPS receiver uses the NAVSTAR GPS Precise
Position Service allowing emergency responders immediate access to exact
location of the device.
A data collection algorithm streams flight data to a remote data
center, performs data compaction for decreasing bandwidth, and data
encryption for security prior to transmission to a remote data center.
An ejection sensor system signals a second unit to eject
The invention protects critical flight data and passengers ensuring expeditious
milliseconds before impact reducing shock to the recorder. A flotation
system allows the device to float on water, a solar panel extends the life of
the batteries, and VoIP video camera recorder allows remote surveillance.
The invention protects critical flight data and passengers
ensuring expeditious rescue missions for survivors and investigators.
