A conception of voice guided general aviation aircraft

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to present the generic conception of the aircraft control system with the voice command interpretation interface. The paper's intention is also to present the first steps of work under control system for general aviation aircraft, which assists pilots using speech interpretation module.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper defines the main rules governing projecting and operating such systems, and defines and discusses the main functionality levels. The use of voice commands for the direct controlling of the flight of the plane is also presented and analyzed in detail.

Findings

The paper presents general rules, which could be applied for work under control systems with speech interpretation modules intended for general aviation aircraft.

Practical implications

The analyses and opinions included in this paper can be generic basis for future projects, which will try to use pilot's voice command to control the general aviation airplane.

Originality/value

This paper presets some conception of the control system with the speech recognition interface. There are main rules generally defining both the structure and the functionality the of such aircraft control system, included in this paper.
