Abstract: A cooperative system of vehicles is disclosed, each of a first vehicle and a second vehicle having a magnetometer, a filter, a database, a conductive loop, and an AC output generator. The magnetometer is attached to measure a surrounding magnetic field, and the filter to isolate a sensed signal. The AC output generator is connected to the conductive loop to generate a magnetic field.

Abstract: A display adaptation system for a vehicle includes a display that is configured to show one or more features. A motion sensor is configured to detect motion of the vehicle. The motion sensor outputs a motion signal indicative of the motion of the vehicle. A motion-compensating control unit is in communication with the display and the motion sensor. The motion-compensating control unit is configured to analyze the motion signal to determine the motion of the vehicle. The motion-compensating control unit is configured to move the feature(s) shown on the display based on the motion of the vehicle.

Abstract: A device to remove moisture from air. The device includes a container with an interior space that contains liquid saline solution. The interior space is configured to prevent the saline solution from escaping into the environment. A saline solution moving device moves the saline solution within the interior space. An air moving device moves air through the interior space. The movement of the air within the interior space exposes the air to the saline solution and enables moisture within the air to be absorbed into the saline solution.

Abstract: An example method includes determining, by a flight planning system, a perceived noise at a surface location based on acoustic noise emitted by an aerial vehicle at an aerial location. The aerial location corresponds to a waypoint along a proposed trajectory. Further, determining the perceived noise includes estimating propagation of the acoustic noise from the aerial location to the surface location based on environmental features of the environment or weather data. The flight planning method also includes determining, by the flight planning system using a noise-abatement function, a noise-abatement value of the proposed trajectory for the aerial vehicle based on the perceived noise at the surface location. In addition, the flight planning method includes determining, by the flight planning system, a flight plan for the aerial vehicle based on the noise-abatement value of the proposed trajectory, and outputting the flight plan for use in navigating the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: Airflow-dependent deployable fences for aircraft wings are described. An example apparatus includes a fence of a wing of an aircraft. The fence includes a base that is coupled to the wing and a panel that is movable relative to the base and the wing between a stowed position in which the panel extends along a skin of the wing, and a deployed position in which the panel extends at an upward angle away from the skin. The panel is configured to impede a spanwise airflow along the wing when the panel is in the deployed position. The panel is configured to move from the deployed position to the stowed position in response to an aerodynamic force exerted on the panel.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for magnetic maneuvering for satellites are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a method for maneuvering satellites comprises applying, by a current source in a first satellite, current to an electromagnet in the first satellite. The method further comprises generating, by the electromagnet in the first satellite in response to the current, a magnetic field. Further, the method comprises maneuvering, by the first satellite, a second satellite via the magnetic field. In one or more embodiments, the electromagnet comprises a torque rod, an electric motor coil, and/or a solar array. In one or more embodiments, the second satellite comprises a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material, a conductive material, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the second satellite comprises an electromagnet.

Abstract: A method of measuring air data of an aircraft is provided. The method includes emitting, by a laser disposed on the aircraft, laser light into air outside the aircraft, the laser tuned to induce a laser-induced plasma channel (LIPC) in the air. The method also includes sensing, by a sensor system disposed on the aircraft, at least one property of the LIPC. The method further includes computing, by a computing device disposed on the aircraft, the air data of the aircraft based on the at least one property of the LIPC.

Abstract: In an example, a power source for an electric propulsion system of an aerial vehicle includes a body having an electrical energy storage device configured to store electrical energy. The power source also includes a plurality of terminals coupled to the electrical energy storage device for supplying the electrical energy from the electrical energy storage device to the electric propulsion system of the aerial vehicle. The power source further includes a plurality of flight control surfaces extending outwardly from the body. The flight control surfaces are actuatable to adjust a flight attitude of the power source. Additionally, the power source includes a flight control system including a processor and configured to actuate the plurality of flight control surfaces to fly the power source to a target location when the power source is jettisoned from the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: Drag reduction systems and methods for an aircraft include a first vortex generator position on a portion of the aircraft, and a second vortex generator positioned on the portion of the aircraft. The first vortex generator is associated with the second vortex generator. The first vortex generator is asymmetrical to the second vortex generator in relation to a coupling axis in order to offset the longitudinal contribution of the vortex generator to vehicle cross-sectional area.
