    Abstract: Systems and methods associated with electrical systems of aircraft are disclosed. A method disclosed herein comprises generating electricity using an electric generator operatively coupled to an engine of the aircraft, supplying the electricity generated using the electric generator to a baseline power bus; generating electricity using an electric starter generator operatively coupled to the engine; and supplying the electricity generated using the electric starter generator to a supplemental power bus independent from the baseline power bus.

    Abstract: A storage container (100) has a base (102) defining at least one storage compartment (202, 204, 206, 208, 210, 212), a top (104) movable between closed and opened positions, latching and locking assemblies. The latching assembly (500) has a latching actuator (110) movable between first and second positions. The latching assembly (500) locks the top (104) to the base (102) when the top (104) is in the closed position and the latching actuator (110) is in the first position and releases the top (104) from the base (102) when the latching actuator (110) is in the second position. The locking assembly has a lock actuator (801) having actuated and released positions. The top (104) is movable when the lock actuator (801) is in the actuated position. The locking assembly locking the top (104) in the open, closed, or an intermediate position when the lock actuator (801) is in the released position. The latching actuator (110) and the lock actuator (801) are operatively connected to the top (104) and move with the top (104) between the closed and the opened position.

    Abstract: A high-lift actuation system for differentially actuating a plurality of high-lift surfaces of an aircraft is disclosed. An exemplary high-lift actuation system includes a centralized drive device for centralized actuation control of an inboard high-lift surface of a first wing and a second wing, respectively, and at least two independent drive devices for individual actuation control of an outboard high-lift surface of the first wing and the second wing, respectively. The centralized drive device may include a central power drive unit (PDU) operably coupled to a common central driveline for driving the inboard high-lift surfaces, and the common central driveline may be separate and spaced apart from a respective driveline of the independent drive devices. The common central driveline may mechanically synchronize movement of the inboard high-lift surfaces, and a controller may electronically coordinate synchronized movement and controlled differential movement of the plurality of high-lift surfaces.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for varying excess thrust of an aircraft include: a first electric fan rotatable about a first axis for directing a first air flow along a first air flow path; and a second electric fan rotatable about a second axis different from the first axis for directing a second air flow along a second air flow path fluidly isolated from the first air flow path, wherein the first electric fan and the second electric fan are disposed radially about a roll axis of the aircraft and adjacent an aft end of the aircraft, and the first electric fan and the second electric fan are configured to intake boundary layer air to form the first air flow and the second air flow.

    Abstract: An aircraft divan includes a lateral bracket connecting between front and rear legs with lateral bracket front and rear ends, a first track defined by the lateral bracket between the lateral bracket front and rear ends, an upright, having upright top and bottom ends, a second track defined by the upright between the upright top and bottom ends, a seat pan having seat pan front and rear ends, the seat pan being slidingly connected to the first track adjacent to the seat pan rear end, and a backrest having backrest top and bottom ends, the backrest being slidingly connected to the second track adjacent to the backrest top end. The seat pan rear end is pivotably connected to the backrest adjacent to the backrest bottom end such that movement of the seat pan is transmitted to the backrest so as to move together between upright and berth positions.
