    Abstract: A number of devices are provided for detecting presence of ice in an airstream. In some examples such device includes a housing defining a first chamber and a second chamber, and a partition wall separating the first chamber and the second chamber. The first chamber has at least one inlet opening on a front housing wall facing the airstream, and at least one outlet opening, smaller than the at least one inlet opening. The second chamber is configured for being operatively coupled to at least one electromagnetic (EM) system that is configured for transmitting EM energy to the first chamber at least via the partition wall, which is transparent and/or translucent with respect to the EM energy, the EM energy being configured for melting ice that can accrete with respect to the inlet opening. The device is configured for being operatively coupled to at least one air pressure sensor in fluid communication with the first chamber for detecting at least pressure changes in the first chamber responsive to ice accretion on the inlet opening.

    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method, a system and a delay compensation unit configured for compensating a delay in communication between a sensing unit and a control unit. A succession of two or more captured images are received from the sensing unit; information indicative of command dynamics parameters are obtained from the control unit; based on the information and a respective transfer function which models the dynamics of the sensor module, the expected reaction of the sensor module to the command is determined; and information indicative of the reaction before the command is executed in the sensing unit can be provided.

    Abstract: A refueling device for use in in-flight refueling operation between a tanker aircraft and a receiver aircraft includes a selectively steerable body and a controller. The selectively steerable body configured for being towed by a tanker aircraft via a fuel hose at least during in-flight refueling, and includes a boom member having a boom axis and configured to enable fuel to be transferred from the fuel hose to a receiver aircraft along the boom axis during the in-flight refueling operation. The controller is configured for selectively steering the body to an engagement enabling position spaced with respect to the receiver aircraft and for aligning the boom axis in an engagement enabling orientation at the spaced position, and for subsequently moving the boom member along the boom axis towards the receiver aircraft for enabling fuel communication therebetween.

    Abstract: A propulsion system assembly is provided including a driveshaft and a plurality of electric motor modules. The driveshaft is rotatably mounted to a casing about a drive axis, the driveshaft including a first shaft end and an opposite facing second shaft end. The plurality of electric motor modules are in axially stacked relationship with one another with respect to the drive axis to define an electric motor module stack, each electric motor module being configured for transmitting a torque to the driveshaft when coupled thereto independently of at least one other electric motor module. Each electric motor module includes a controllable clutch arrangement for selectively coupling and decoupling the respective electric motor module with respect to the driveshaft to respectively enable and disable transmission of torque between the respective electric motor module and the driveshaft.
