Patent ID: 8221122

Claim:
A method for aircraft mission modeling and simulation performed by a computing device comprising: selecting on the computing device an aircraft; obtaining by the computing device performance data for the selected aircraft; selecting on the computing device a maneuver to be performed by the aircraft; applying by the computing device a rule to the selected maneuver to determine whether the selected aircraft is capable of performing the selected maneuver; generating by the computing device a profile segment for the selected maneuver from the performance data when the selected aircraft is capable of performing the selected maneuver; storing by the computing device the profile segment in a library of profile segments, wherein the library of profile segments comprises valid profile segments for the aircraft as determined by the rules; selecting on the computing device a procedure for the aircraft to be performed, wherein the procedure executes one or more profile segments selected from the library of profile segments; creating by the computing device an object for the procedure by assembling the one or more profile segments; and displaying by the computing device a simulation of the aircraft performing the procedure on a display device.
