    "patent_abstract": "A method and system for computing the deceleration performance to a destination point of a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft has been developed. First, predicted performance of the deceleration of the VTOL aircraft is generated and based on pre-determined data for the VTOL aircraft. Sensors of the VTOL aircraft are monitored to capture real-time performance of the deceleration of the VTOL aircraft. A blended display is created of deceleration of the VTOL aircraft by blending the predicted performance and the real-time performance and is shown to the pilot of the VTOL aircraft. The blended display is continuously adjusted by weighting emphasis on the predicted performance based on the degree of correlation to the real-time performance.",

    "invention_explanation": "A system compares predicted and sensor-measured slowing performance, then combines them into a cockpit display to help pilots judge the aircraft’s stopping path.",
