During the last few tragic plane Crushes, the world has been patiently
waiting the recovery of flight recorders ( black boxes ) to clarify the cause
of
the crush, which is important to many on political, safety, business or legal
grounds.
Many millions of dollars have been spent during searches for the black
boxes and access to the data to find out the cause of the crushes. These
spendings are critical if we want to improve the safety of aviation, prevent
more disasters and add to the confidence of travelers. In the latest Alaskan
Air crush, prompt recovery of the data recorder was helpful in grounding
other planes with the similar problems and maintained defective stabilizer
which prevented future disasters.
Idea of " Flight & Navigation Control Unit" or " Real Time Data Transfer
Device " is enabling us to constantly transmit the flight information and data
from the flying planes to the airline base, specific or closest airport and
company of origin. Real time data transfer will makes the data immediately
available and accessible. With much more expertise and resources available
in the ground bases, flight data transmitted could be used for assistance,
security, problem shooting , advising the pilots for necessary recovery
process or directly communicating with the onboard computers for auto
piloting and other corrective measures.
This device, " Flight & Navigation Control Unit " is capable of having
multiple audio/ video/data input channels so the user is able to transmit the

mufti track data from the different sources such as black box, cabin voice
and video images and even GPS data to assigned destinations.
" Flight & Navigation Control Unit " can also be used on board of trains,
ships and buses for the same purpose. It can be used with main frame
computers to transmit data to the offsite locations for scheduled backup or
security purposes. It could be used on operation sites like refineries,
chemical factories and dangerous goods storages to enable us to remotely
monitoring the process and safety.
This wireless transmitter, " Flight & Navigation Control Unit ", will be
made with the capabilities of accepting multiple audio/video/data input
channels. Input data's are then combined into one stream of digital signal
using high frequency electronic digitizers and mixers. This signal is then
passed to the " Transmitter Unit " which by using existing high speed
wireless transmission technologies based on narrow band or wide band
single or multiple frequency or using existing global digital communication
networks will be transmitted simultaneously to the base or bases requesting
the data.
The data transmitted could be decomposed and each input line of data could
be accessible again with the enhancements recommended to the technical
abilities of the receiver bases such as the airline bases, airline original
countries, departure or destination airports, closest airports, company of
origin, military bases or offsite storages. Ability to access transmitted data
instantly could let us analyze the problems before, during or after any
particular events and we could assist the pilots, operators and crews to take

proper preventive measures. We also can computerize important control
process such as air traffic control, dangerous goods storages, refineries,
power plants and many other industrial sites by using this wireless
transmitter.
This innovative device, " Flight & Navigator Control Unit ", will be
composed of the following units:
1- Input Ports; capable of accepting multiple digitized audio, video
and data signals, using the existing patented products in the
market.
2- Power Unit; Capable of providing the power needed to feed the
device using AC/DC power sources available for this purpose.
3- Integrated Input Bridge; able to digitize the input signals if
necessary and combine the signals into one stream of digital signal.
This unit is under design and production process and for this
integrated circuit, application for patent will be filed separately.
5- Transmitter Unit; able to use digital wireless narrow or wide band,
single or multiple frequency short wave signals or global wireless
digital communication techniques to transmit data across the glob.
This unit is under design and production process and for this
integrated circuit, application for patent will be filed separately.
