Abstract:
A method, preferably including: sampling inputs, determining aircraft conditions, and/or acting based on the aircraft conditions. A method, preferably including: sampling inputs, determining input reliability, determining guidance, and/or controlling aircraft operation. A method, preferably including: operating the vehicle, planning for contingencies, detecting undesired flight conditions, and/or reacting to undesired flight conditions. A system, preferably an aircraft such as a rotorcraft, configured to implement the method.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of aircraft operation, comprising, while autonomously controlling an aircraft to fly:\n determining safety information associated with a region of airspace; based on the safety information, an aircraft location of the aircraft, and a destination of the aircraft, determining a safety corridor within the region, the safety corridor comprising the aircraft location; at a first sensor of the aircraft, sampling a first set of sensor data; at a second sensor of the aircraft, sampling a second set of sensor data; at a first processor of the aircraft, based on the first set of sensor data, determining primary guidance for aircraft control, wherein the primary guidance is associated with aircraft traversal to a first location outside the safety corridor; at a second processor of the aircraft, based on the second set of sensor data, determining auxiliary guidance for aircraft control, wherein the auxiliary guidance is associated with aircraft traversal to a second location within the safety corridor; and based on the first location being outside the safety corridor and the second location being within the safety corridor, autonomously controlling the aircraft based on the auxiliary guidance, comprising controlling the aircraft to fly substantially to the second location.
