Aircraft Speed System
DRIVE
June 4, 2026
A system may determine, by a ground speed module, a ground speed value for the aircraft. The system may determine, by an air speed module, an air speed value for the aircraft. The system may determine, by an altitude module, an altitude value of the aircraft. The system may generate, by a blending module, a synthesized operational speed value for the aircraft based on the ground speed value, the air speed value, and the altitude value. The system may perform at least one of: sending the synthesized operation speed value for display to a user of the aircraft; or partially or fully controlling operation of the aircraft according to the synthesized operational speed value.
