The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Flight Advisor is a deep learning artificial intelligence algorithm that can be used for an in-flight pilot advisory system. Before flight, the deep learning system ingests natural language documents relevant to aircraft mishaps such as flight manuals, mishap reports, and close call reports. During flight, the system monitors aircraft states and pilot requests. In the event of a recognizable unusual situation, or upon pilot request, the system diagnosis the aircraft fault or condition and advises the pilot on corrective action.
More »This technology has the potential to provide contingency management advisory systems for crewed or autonomous vehicles. These systems could aid pilots during emergencies and potentially help avoid loss of equipment or ensure safety of pilots as well as personnel on the ground. If successful, this technology will provide the capability to diagnose system faults and provide corrective actions across multiple industries such as aerospace, automotive, robotic, maritime, etc.
