Abstract: A tailsitter aircraft includes an airframe having first and second wings with first and second pylons extending therebetween, a thrust array attached to the airframe, payloads and payload saddle assemblies coupled to the pylons each configured to secure a respective payload. The thrust array includes propulsion assemblies configured to transition the airframe between a forward flight orientation for wing-borne lift and a VTOL orientation for thrust-borne lift. Each payload saddle assembly includes a latch assembly and a retainer configured to secure the respective payload against a respective pylon. A latch assembly is movable between various positions including an open position and a closed position and is configured to secure the respective payload in the closed position and release the respective payload in the open position. Each latch assembly is configured to move from the closed position to the open position to release the respective payload in the VTOL orientation.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a method includes accessing, by a processing device, actual operating condition information for an operating condition parameter associated with actual operation of a vehicle. The actual operating condition information corresponds to sensor measurements associated with a vehicle component of the vehicle. The method includes analyzing, by the processing device and using an artificial intelligence model, the actual operating condition information to generate predicted load information for the vehicle component. The method includes determining, according to the predicted load information, an estimated fatigue life for the vehicle component that is individualized for the vehicle component.

Abstract: An improved compound planetary gear system. In embodiments, a compound planetary gear system includes at least one planet pinion including a main shaft having a first gear for meshing with a sun gear and a second gear for meshing with a ring gear, and a carrier for supporting the at least one planet pinion. Teeth of the first gear are configured with a first helical angle with respect to a longitudinal angle of the at least one planet pinion, teeth of the second gear are configured with a second helical angle with respect to the longitudinal angle of the at least one planet pinion, the first helical angle different from the second helical angle.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for estimating wear in aircraft rotor systems. Data associated with loads and motions of a swashplate actuator is collected. The swashplate actuator drives a swashplate and at least one control link is coupled to the swashplate. The loads and motions of the at least one control link is estimated based upon the loads and motions of the swashplate actuator. Using a wear model, the current wear of control link components is estimated due to the loads and motions of the at least one control link. Wear estimates for the components are aggregated across multiple flights and used to determine when maintenance actions should occur.
