DISPERSAL ASSISTANCE APPARATUS AND DISPERSAL ASSISTANCE METHOD FOR AIRCRAFT

摘要

When distribution material is distributed over a target site on a ground surface from an aircraft (1), a distribution supporting apparatus (2) offers support information to a pilot dropping the distribution material to efficiently distribute the distribution material. The distribution supporting apparatus (2) includes: an input section (21) to which information items on at least an aircraft velocity, an aircraft altitude, and a wind velocity are input; a computation section (22) configured to compute a location at which the distribution material dropped from the aircraft (1) arrives on the ground surface and a density distribution of the distribution material on the ground surface based on the information items input to the input section (21); and a display control section (23) configured to display, on a display (3), the support information relating to the location and density distribution computed by the computation section.
