Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for interacting with a touch-sensitive display in a vehicle. The display shows one or more objects. Vehicle motion is detected. The position of at least one object on the touch-sensitive display based upon the vehicle motion. User touches on the touch-sensitive display may be detected, and tactile feedback may be provided to the user via a glove. In a further embodiment, an imminent input to the touch-sensitive display may be detected, and the target point for the imminent input may be determined. The display may be zoomed around the target point to expand at least a portion of a targeted object. The vehicle may be an aircraft, and the targeted object may be a virtual flight instrument. The target point may also be displayed on the touch-sensitive display.

Abstract: A pylon assembly for a tiltrotor aircraft includes a rotor assembly operable to rotate between a generally vertical orientation, in a VTOL flight mode, and a generally horizontal orientation, in a forward flight mode, and having an intermediate orientation therebetween, in a conversion flight mode. The rotor assembly includes a proprotor operable to produce a slipstream. A wing extension, positioned outboard of the rotor assembly, has a minimal dimension and an outboard end. A winglet is coupled to the outboard end of the wing extension and has a minimal dimension. The wing extension and the winglet are operable to rotate generally with the rotor assembly such that the minimal dimensions of the wing extension and the winglet remain in the slipstream of the proprotor.

Abstract: The present invention achieves technical advantages as a pilot and passenger seating. An aircraft employs a pilot seat, comprising a contoured structure having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, with left and right arm supports that include an articulated control knob, movable in three rectangular axes and rotatable about a vertical axis to provide one or more aircraft steering functions for an aircraft, and a touch-sensitive control surface for controlling one or more power system components. A passenger seat, having a contoured structure, having ergonomically formed and padded surfaces, a headrest, a seat, a left support member, and a right support member are adapted to cradle a portion of a passenger's body to support the passenger during travel.

Abstract: An aircraft has a wing and at least a portion of a hoist system disposed within the wing. A method of hoisting an item includes disposing at least a portion of a hoist system within a wing of an aircraft and extending a cable of the hoist system through an access hole of an exterior wall of the wing.
