Abstract: A system includes a first sensor configured to detect an object within an air space, and output an observation signal indicative of the object within the air space. A second sensor is configured to track the object within the air space, and output a tracking signal of the object within the air space. A tracking control unit is in communication with the first sensor and the second sensor. The tracking control unit is configured to receive the observation signal from the first sensor. In response to receiving the observation signal from the first sensor, the tracking control unit is configured to operate the second sensor to track the object within the air space relative to an aircraft within the air space. The tracking control unit is also configured to determine a priority of actions to take in relation to the object based, at least in part, on the tracking signal received from the second sensor.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for planning multimodal travel. A planning request for the multimodal travel from a first location to an second location is received. Candidate routes are determined for a passenger that is customized for a set of customization parameters a using the first location, the second location, and a set of passenger preferences. A candidate route in the candidate routes comprises a first leg from the first location to a first vertiport via a first modality, a second leg for a passenger air vehicle to travel from the first vertiport to a second vertiport using an air modality, and a third leg from the second vertiport to the second location using a second modality. The candidate route in the candidate routes is selected to form a route for the multimodal travel for the passenger when a user input is received selecting the candidate route.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A propeller assembly including a shaft having a rotational axis; a plurality of propellers connected to the shaft; means for deploying the plurality of propellers using a centrifugal force generated from a rotation of the shaft, so as to provide vertical thrust during a vertical take-off and landing of the aircraft; and means for restoring the propellers into a stowed configuration.

Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle includes detecting, by an optical sensor, a movement of at least one object in a field of view of the optical sensor. The method further includes identifying, by a processor circuit, a pattern based on the movement of the at least one object. The method further includes determining, by the processor circuit based on the pattern, a vehicle command to be performed by the vehicle.

Abstract: A method is provided for supporting a robot in response to a contingency event. The method includes detecting the contingency event during travel of the robot on a route to a destination. In response, the method includes determining a position of the robot, and accessing information about alternate destinations associated with the route. The method includes selecting an alternate destination from the alternate destinations based on a time to travel from the position of the robot to the alternate destination, and the information. And the method includes outputting an indication of the alternate destination for use in at least one of guidance, navigation or control of the robot to the alternate destination.

Abstract: Presented are weight distribution systems for aircraft center of gravity (CG) management, methods for making/operating such systems, and aircraft equipped with CG management systems. A method is presented for managing the CG of an aircraft. The aircraft includes first and second landing gears and an airframe that removably attaches thereto one or more payloads and/or hardware modules. The method includes supporting the aircraft on a support leg that operatively attaches to the airframe and, while supported on the support leg, determining if the aircraft pivots onto the first or second landing gear. If the aircraft pivots onto either landing gear, the method responsively identifies a new airframe position for the payload/hardware module that will shift the aircraft's CG to within a calibrated “acceptable” CG range; doing so should balance the aircraft on the support leg. The payload/hardware module is then relocated to the new airframe position.

Abstract: According to one aspect of the present disclosure, an apparatus for shifting a center of gravity of an aircraft is disclosed. The apparatus includes a propulsion component, a moveable ballast component, and an assembly configured to translate the moveable ballast component. The propulsion component is configured to assist in transitioning the aircraft between a first mobility phase and a second mobility phase. The assembly is configured to translate the moveable ballast component between an aft position and a forward position of the aircraft based on the aircraft transitioning between the first mobility phase and the second mobility phase to shift the center of gravity of the aircraft along a longitudinal axis of the aircraft.

Abstract: There is provided an energy absorbing landing gear system for attachment to a vertical landing apparatus. The energy absorbing landing gear system includes a linear damper assembly, and a load limiter assembly coupled to the linear damper assembly, the load limiter assembly having at least one deformable element to enhance an energy absorption capability. When the energy absorbing landing gear system is attached to the vertical landing apparatus, during a landing phase, the linear damper assembly contacts a landing surface, and a piston assembly of the linear damper assembly moves a first compression distance toward the load limiter assembly, and when the linear damper assembly reaches a maximum compression, the linear damper assembly moves a second compression distance into the load limiter assembly, and the at least one deformable element deforms.
