A concept of voice guided general aviation aircraft

The paper presents a concept of an airborne control system assisting the pilot, which differs from classical approaches. This is the concept of voice commanded control system. The paper analyzes the feasibility of realization of aircraft control system with the speech recognition module for general aviation aircraft. Authors try to define the main rules, which must be observed to design and operate such systems. The main functionality levels of the presented control system are defined and discussed. The use of voice commands for the direct controlling of the flight of the plane is also presented and analyzed in details. The paper discusses several types of voice commands a pilot could use to control the plane. The main requirements voice commands must meet are defined and discussed. The last section contains the short description of the experimental control system which can be the base for developing an experimental voice controlled general aviation aircraft.
