摘要 |
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for direct communication between aircraft, which may involve receiving tactical and strategic information related to proximate aircraft for improved flight planning. The systems and methods presented herein may be implemented, for example, in a first aircraft having a data link component adapted to process information, a storage component adapted to store information related to the first aircraft, access to a plurality of onboard data sources, and a communication interface component adapted to directly communicate with a second aircraft via a communication link. The first aircraft may include a user interface component adapted to interact with the data link component to retrieve the information related to the second aircraft from the storage component, generate a request message with the information related to the second aircraft, and communicate with the communication interface component to directly transmit the generated request message to the second aircraft via the communication link. |
