Machines | Boeing Helps Test Software that Makes Carrier Landings Easier and Safer
videos | at work | information | view | construction
The U.S. Navy and Boeing recently tested the technology during successful sea trials onboard the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier. It’s called MAGIC CARPET, Maritime Augmented Guidance with Integrated Controls for Carrier Approach and Recovery Precision Enabling Technologies, and it helps guide pilots to the carrier deck.

sad to see f/a 18 being slowly getting replaced by e/a 18s and fa22s along with f 35s what is the next new plane not based on any of those

I see that going to Commercial Aircraft and private too...
-
I can only hope that the training for this system doesn't in a any way tske away their ability to land safely with raw skill if needed.

like from MICDS with there state of the art science and research lab
which was a donation by the McDonnell family
an Washington university in St.Louis and its "Global leaders program" established by the McDonnell family?
I hope so Boeing is a great company I hope St.Louis will support your company for years to come. -
so McDonnell Douglas is a heritage company fighter pool?
does St.Louis do any local design work or does Boeing just recruit students out of the high quality St.louis educational system to work in Chicago? -
How about making a video about what it actually does, and not some sort of photo-op for Boeing.
-
I always wonder how those cables don't snap lol. Especially since the aircraft throttles to 100% (or 70%, in the case of Magic Carpet)
-
Sweet!!

Boeing Are the best
-
First and nice
-
The video doesn't actually describe or demonstrate what MAGIC CARPET is.
-
So the next Commander-in-Chief (President Trump?) can fly a Super Hornet and land on the carrier all by thier lone self with Magic Carpet and declare Mission Accomplished! What a photo op that would be! I can see the politicans salivating already. No wonder Boeing got funding for this. 2018 can't come fast enough.

Very cool...i think that navy pilots will appreciate this but, they're probably just going to continue to use manual landings, as that provides critical fatigue, and other data from pilots.
-
it takes years to master it to land a plane on a carrier deck? i used to think any fighter pilot could do it.

Sorry Boeing. Much as I admire all you do and respect all your achievements it wasn't YOU it was the British that made every major development and innovation on Aircraft Carrier design and operation. We pioneered take-offs from moving ships in 1912 and landing on ships in 1917, we launched the first aircraft carrier, HMS Ark Royal, in 1914 and the first purpose built aircraft carrier, HMS Hermes, in 1918, the first 'island to Starboard' flight deck, the first angled flight deck, the first catapults and arrestors, the first mirror assisted landing systems and landed the first jets. And much more. While I totally admire US Patriotism there is a world outside of the USA and when you say 'This was the first...' maybe add '...in America'? But good luck in all you do and its good to see those brave Navy pilots (which include many RAF and RN people) will be much safer as a result of this development.

Finally, a new video about aircraft! Thanks for all the interesting and exciting topics, your uploads are always worth to be watched several times. Keep up the great work!

Very nice!

Boeing is the best Airbus is crap buy Boeing planes not Airbus airlines buy the 747-8 there is not that much orders on the -8I
