Virtual Aircraft Network

摘要

A system and method for performing a simulation of aircraft networks. Characteristics of components of the aircraft networks are identified. The aircraft networks include a first set of networks within a plurality of aircraft and a second set of networks configured for communication between the plurality of aircraft. Virtual implementations of the components are generated based on the characteristics of the components. A simulation of the aircraft networks is performed that includes the virtual implementations of the components processing virtual flight test data generated by the virtual implementations of the components. The virtual flight test data for the components in the aircraft networks is compared to actual flight test data from the components in the aircraft networks to form a comparison. The characteristics of the components are then modified based on the comparison.
