Towards a Cloud-Based Flight Management System
This paper summarizes the results of an initial concept exploration into the Cloud Flight Management System, or Cloud FMS, idea. Cloud FMS is a concept in which part of the aircraft’s FMS is on the aircraft itself, while another part resides in a ground-based cloud environment. This paper is limited to understanding whether this idea can be practically implemented within the current constraints of air-ground network throughput, availability, reliability, and latency. Simulation and live flight tests were conducted to study this concept, and specific findings that further fine-tune the Cloud FMS concept are provided.
