Patent ID: 8463534

Claim:
An aircraft position synchronization system further comprising: a processor module; a memory module; a rabbit calculation module operable to calculate a planned position on an orbit pattern of a first aircraft in flight; a display module operable to graphically display: the orbit pattern; the planned position and the at least one planned velocity vector moving in real-time along the orbit pattern; the planned position-time projection vector; an actual position of the first aircraft; and at least one actual position-time projection vector of the first aircraft based on at least one bank angle of the first aircraft, such that a user determines the planned position of the first aircraft on the planned position-time projection vector in order to arrive at a predetermined position at a correct time; a rendezvous module operable to coordinate the first aircraft with at least one second aircraft in flight; and a bank angle calculation module operable to calculate a calculated bank angle based on performance parameters of the second aircraft such that the first aircraft intercepts the planned position-time projection vector at the planned position if the first aircraft is turned with the calculated bank angle.
