This paper summarizes the results of an initial
concept exploration into the Cloud Flight Management System, or
Cloud FMS, idea. Cloud FMS is a concept in which part of the
aircraft’s FMS is on the aircraft itself, while another part resides
in a ground-based cloud environment. This paper is limited to
understanding whether this idea can be practically implemented
within the current constraints of air-ground network throughput,
availability, reliability, and latency. Simulation and live flight tests
were conducted to study this concept, and specific findings that
further fine-tune the Cloud FMS concept are provided. |
