    摘要: The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods relating to a fan apparatus including a lift fan mounted in a duct and a cover for the lift fan. In some examples, a fan apparatus has a louvered cover including louvers having different chord lengths and/or different projection distances relative to one another when the louvers are in an intermediate (transitional) position. In some examples, a fan apparatus includes a louver actuation assembly configured to move louvers of the fan apparatus rotationally and translationally between open and closed positions. In some examples, a fan apparatus includes a fluid-actuated sealing assembly configured to form a seal between a sealing member and a cover, such as a louvered cover.

    摘要: An assembly for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to prevent incident radiation from penetrating through a gap to an interior of an aircraft comprises an electromagnetic band gap (EBG) structure. The EBG structure has a patch-and-via array connected to a ground layer. The EMI shielding includes a conductive adhesive and is flexible for conforming attachment to curved aircraft surfaces. The shielding may be located on a deflector plate that is parallel to an adjacent aircraft surface, on the airframe surface opposite to the deflector plate, or in both locations. The assembly filters out penetrating electromagnetic energy and prevents highly resonant cavity mode buildups of electromagnetic energy inside a nacelle or other enclosure effectively protecting electrical equipment in the interior.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and aircraft for verifying performing automated refuelling data. A method includes receiving a two-dimensional (2D) image from a camera, determining 2D keypoints of a target object located within the 2D image based on a predefined model of the target object, estimating a 6DOF pose based on the 2D keypoints and a three-dimensional model of the target object, generating an uncertainty value of the 6DOF pose, and outputting the uncertainty value of the 6DOF pose.

    摘要: A solid-state device having a substrate that receives an ionizing radiation, logic circuits, integrity circuits, and a collection circuit. The logic circuits are operational to perform logic functions. The logic circuits are located in an area on the substrate, and are individually susceptible to a possible corruption by the ionizing radiation. Each integrity cell is initialized to a predetermined state. The integrity cells are located in the area on the substrate, arranged in a pattern neighboring the logic circuits, and individually susceptible to disrupting the predetermined state in response to the ionizing radiation. The collection circuit is located on the substrate. The collection circuit is operational to read the plurality of integrity cells, and assert a report signal that identifies the possible corruption in a subset of the logic circuits due to the ionizing radiation in response to reading an incorrect state in a neighboring one of the integrity cells.

    摘要: An emergency oxygen system for an internal cabin of a vehicle includes a housing including one or more compartments. One or more oxygen assemblies include a mask and a fluid conduit. The mask is configured to be stowed within and deployed from the one or more compartments. A door is moveably secured to the housing. The door is configured to pivot in an outboard direction from a closed position to an open position during a deployment event. One or more pouches can be secured to an interior surface of the door. Coiled tubing of the fluid conduit is retained by the one or more pouches when the mask is stowed within the one or more compartments. An alert device can be operatively coupled to the one or more oxygen assemblies. The alert device is configured to emit a response indicating that oxygen is flowing to the mask.

    摘要: A system for radiographic inspection includes a line source that emits a fan shaped beam of x-rays and a linear x-ray detector that detects the fan shaped beam of x-rays. The system further includes a first movable platform that positions the line source to emit the fan shaped beam of x-rays towards the linear x-ray detector. A second movable platform positions the linear x-ray detector to detect the fan shaped beam of x-rays after transmission through the structure or component being inspected. Synchronized movement of the first movable platform and the second movable platform significantly reduces the time of inspection while the fan shaped beam of x-rays minimizes health risks. The system further includes a first filter that blocks x-rays below a first energy threshold, and a second filter that blocks x-rays below a second energy threshold. The filters provide the system the ability to inspect structures and components formed of multiple types of materials, for example, foreign object debris.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides techniques for scheduling and monitoring of event progress. A syllabus indicating flight training requirements for pilots and flight information for a plurality of scheduled flights is accessed. A first set of flight alternatives, from the plurality of scheduled flights, is identified, for a first trainee, based on the syllabus. The first trainee is assigned to a first subset of one or more flights, from the first set of flight alternatives, based on defined scheduling criteria. One or more instructors are assigned to each flight of the first subset of one or more flights.
