1. A computer-implemented method for displaying multiple aircraft build states of an aircraft build process, said method comprising:
- storing, in a computer storage device, visual depictions of the multiple aircraft build states that are layered over one another during the aircraft build process;
wherein the multiple aircraft build states of an aircraft represent different operational states of the aircraft over time during the aircraft build process;
wherein the visual depictions are associated with operational state data to indicate operational phases to which the visual depictions of the multiple aircraft build states are related, wherein the operational phases include a maintenance phase, a test phase, and a completed aircraft phase; and
providing, by one or more data processors, a user interface for display to a user;
wherein the user interface is configurable to display the multiple aircraft build states as layers that correspond to a chronological order of each aircraft state of the multiple aircraft build states during the aircraft build process;
manipulating, by the user. the user interface to switch from displaying a visual photographic depiction of a substantially entire interior aircraft in the maintenance phase to displaying a visual photographic depiction of a substantially entire interior aircraft in the test phase; and
manipulating, by the user, the user interface to switch from displaying the visual photographic depiction of a substantially entire interior aircraft in the test phase to displaying a visual photographic depiction of a substantially entire interior aircraft in the completed aircraft phase.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for displaying multiple aircraft states of an aircraft build process. A method includes storing, in a computer storage device, visual depictions of the multiple aircraft states that are layered over one another. The multiple build states of an aircraft represent different operational states of the aircraft over time. A user interface is configurable to display aircraft build states that occur during an aircraft build process based upon retrieval of the particular build phase from the computer storage device.
