Boundary System Designer for Wireless Aircraft Networks
First Claim
1. An aircraft design system comprising:
- a components database having designs for components configured for use in an aircraft;
a materials database having materials selected for desired types of wireless signal propagation; and
a boundary designer configured to identify a configuration for wireless networks in the aircraft;
select a number of boundaries for the wireless networks that provide a desired propagation of wireless signals for the wireless networks; and
select a configuration for a number of the components from the designs in the components database and select a number of materials for the number of the components to form the number of boundaries for the wireless networks improving wireless performance and integration.

Abstract
An aircraft design system comprising a components database having designs for components configured for use in an aircraft, a materials database having materials selected for desired types of wireless signal propagation, and a boundary designer. The boundary designer is configured to identify a configuration for wireless networks in the aircraft. The boundary designer is further configured to select a number of boundaries for the wireless networks that provide a desired propagation of wireless signals for the wireless networks. The boundary designer is further configured to select a configuration for a number of the components from the designs in the components database and select a number of materials for the number of the components to form the number of boundaries for the wireless networks.
