A pod (20) has a rotatable housing (22) and a motor (26) for driving the rotatable housing (22) to rotate. The rotatable housing (22) includes an image capture device (32) for capturing an electromagnetic image and a radar transmitting and capturing device (36) for capturing a radar image. The motor (26) is operable to change an orientation of the rotatable housing (22) relative to a pod housing (25), such that a desired one of the electromagnetic image capture device (32) and the radar transmission and reception system (36) faces an area that is to be studied.

The present invention relates to a front portion of an aircraft (1) including a fuselage (15) and a landing-gear well (22) housing a front landing gear (30) including a brace strut (36) designed such as to adopt an extended configuration when the landing gear is down, in which configuration said brace strut (36) is aligned with a strut plane (P1) parallel to the transverse direction (Y) of the front portion. According to the invention, the front portion includes a transverse beam (40) for taking up the forces from the strut, arranged above the landing-gear well (22) and mounted at the two ends thereof on the fuselage (15), the beam (40) having a generally rectangular cross-section in which the median plane (P2), parallel to the length of the rectangle, coincides with the strut plane (P1).

Sensor pod attachment assemblies are provided for attaching a sensor pod (12) containing airborne sensor equipment to an aircraft fuselage (AF). The sensor pod assemblies may include fore and aft pairs of attachment pylon assemblies (14, 16) each having a lower end attached to the aircraft fuselage (AF) and an upper end attached to the sensor pod (12). The fore pair of attachment pylon assemblies (14) can include port and starboard pylon structures (14-1, 14-2), and a cross-support base connected to upper ends of the port and starboard pylon structures. The aft pair of attachment pylon assemblies (16) may include a lengthwise adjustable spar assembly.
摘要:
An aircraft forward pressure bulkhead (200) as described herein includes a malleable and deformable dome (210) that is configured to 'catch' foreign objects, such as birds. The dome is intentionally designed to deform in response to a foreign object strike that imparts at least a threshold amount of impact energy to the bulkhead. The dome is free of rigid stiffeners and non-deformable reinforcement members that would otherwise hinder the flexible characteristic of the dome. Practical embodiments of the bulkhead utilize fewer parts, are less heavy, and are less expensive than traditional bulkheads that utilize rigid stiffeners.
摘要:
Zum Verbinden eines einen Suchkopf abdeckenden Domes (18) mit der Struktur (10) eines Flugkörpers dient ein über den Rand des Domes (18) greifender, den Dom (18) formschlüssig haltender und mit der Struktur (10) des Flugkörpers verbundener Haltering (28). Die Verbindung erfolgt, ohne zusätzliche stoffschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Dom (18) und Haltering (28). Längs des Randes des Domes (18) ist unter dem Haltering (28) eine Nut (24) vorgesehen, in welcher ein flexibles Dichtmittel (26) zur Abdichtung zwischen Haltering (28) und Dom (18) untergebracht ist.
