In one possible embodiment, a wireless network with dynamic transmission control is provided that includes a multiple of nodes. The nodes include an arbiter and multiple client nodes. The arbiter is configured to control an operation of the client nodes by defining communications operation cycles and allocating a bandwidth to each of the client nodes on a cycle by cycle basis in response to requests for bandwidth from the client nodes.

Dynamic transmission control for a wireless network

A reconfigurable aircraft having a fuselage and a series of wing segments that form a wing, and an extra wing segment that is interchangeable with a wing segment that is part of the wing. The wing segments are readily attachable and detachable from the fuselage, allowing for the interchanging of the wing segments. At least one of the two interchangeable wing segments is configured with one type of mission-specific equipment, and the other may be configured with a second type of mission-specific equipment, allowing for the quick reconfiguration of the aircraft. Alternatively, the two interchangeable wing segments are each configured with the same mission-specific equipment, allowing for mission-specific equipment is serviced without interfering with the flight schedule. With an additional fuselage and set of wing segments that form a wing a mission may be continuously flown.

Reconfigurable aircraft

An aircraft data transmission system used with an aircraft having a data acquisition unit. The system includes a communications unit located in the aircraft and in communication with the data acquisition unit. The system also includes a cellular infrastructure in communication with the data communications unit after the aircraft has landed. The system further includes a data reception unit in communication with the cellular infrastructure.
