    摘要: A power distribution system for a DC network, the DC network comprising electrical loads, the power distribution system being boarded on an aircraft and comprising: a plurality of AC/DC converters, and at least one AC power source. The power distribution system comprises: an “n” number of AC/DC converters, each one comprising an “(n−1)” number of first outputs and at least an additional output, and an “(n−1)·n” number of electrical loads. Each electrical load comprises two inputs: a first input for being connected with a corresponding first output, and a second input for being connected with any of the additional outputs. The power distribution system is configured to continue supplying electrical power to the DC network in case an AC/DC converter is not energized, such that the second input of such electrical load is connected to any additional output of another AC/DC converter, being the first input disconnected.

    摘要: A washer is designed to establish a reliable electrical connection between the washer and a core structure of the main conductor aircraft structure. The washer includes a conductive central main body arranged substantially in a first plane and including an opening adapted to receive a fastener and an outer edge and at least three serrated conductive projections. Each serrated projection includes a first end and a second end. The first end is attached to the conductive central main body and the second end is a free end including at least one conductive tooth. The second end is located in a second plan other than the first plane and is of the type that can deform under pressure. The attachment between the conductive central main body and each serrated conductive projection is of the type that can deform under pressure.

    摘要: A method for compensating for aerodynamic radial loads applied to a drogue coupling of a hose and drogue air to air active refueling system including: deploying a refueling hose from a tanker aircraft, wherein the drogue coupling is at a distal end of the hose and the drogue coupling is connected to a hose end control unit which includes at least three fins extending outward into air flowing over the hose end control unit; sensing acceleration of the hose end control unit and/or the drogue coupling, generating an acceleration signal with data representing the sensed acceleration; determining at least one deflection angle for at least one of the three fins based on the acceleration signal, and rotating at least one of the three fins by the at least one deflection angle.
