Abstract: An aircraft includes a fuselage and a wing assembly that is rotatable between a substantially perpendicular orientation relative to the fuselage in flight modes and a substantially parallel orientation relative to the fuselage in a wing stowage mode. The wing assembly includes a wing that is pivotable between forward flight and VTOL orientations by a pivot angle. A distributed thrust array is coupled to the wing that includes outboard and inboard propulsion assemblies, each propulsion assembly having an axis of rotation that has a fixed angle relative to a chord axis of the wing. In a VTOL flight mode, the axis of rotation of each propulsion assembly is substantially vertical and the wing is in the VTOL orientation. In a forward flight mode, the wing is in the forward flight orientation and the axis of rotation of each propulsion assembly is tilted forward from the vertical by the pivot angle.

Abstract: A universal-joint cross assembly includes a cross. Four compression rings are mounted at terminal positions of the cross. Each of the four compression rings is positioned at a 90° interval relative to adjacent ones of the four compression rings. The universal-joint cross assembly includes four inner balls. Each of the four inner balls is fixed to one of the four compression rings and forms a portion of a spherical bearing.

Abstract: An entry step lighting system for a deployable aircraft stairway. The system includes steps that having integrated light sources that direct and provide illumination to the steps. Some light sources illuminate strip lenses which indicate proximity to the step edges. Light emitted by a second group of light sources is directed into an angled face established on a riser wall between each step. The light bounces off of each angled face to illuminate the step below.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an aircraft includes an actuator and a flight control computer interfaced with the actuator. The flight control computer is configured to: increase an initiating force output by an initiating channel of the actuator; stop the increasing of the initiating force in response to observing restraining forces on restraining channels of the actuator; hold the initiating force at a quiescent initiating value while the restraining channels hold the restraining forces at quiescent restraining values; increase the initiating force to a target initiating value while the restraining channels increase the restraining forces to target restraining values; calculate a force fight test result by summing a difference between the target initiating value and the quiescent initiating value with differences between the target restraining values and the quiescent restraining values; and indicate the actuator failed verification in response to the force fight test result being greater than a first predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Various implementations directed to managing access for a manufacturing system are provided. In one implementation, a method may include receiving access management request data at an automated provisioning system of an entity. The method may also include determining ready task data based on the received access management request data. The method may further include transmitting provisioning request data based on the determined ready task data. The method may additionally include transmitting status request data after a predetermined amount of time. The method may also include receiving the external status data. The method may further include determining generic status data based on the received external status data. The method may additionally include performing access management operations based on the determined generic status data. The method may also include manufacturing physical components using the manufacturing system based on the access management operations.

Abstract: A multi-mode aircraft power-split-transmission system includes a rotational power input and a power-split transmission. The power-split transmission includes a sun gear, a planetary carrier, a ring gear, a first rotational power output, and a second rotational power output. The multi-mode aircraft power-split-transmission system also includes a first resistance device coupled to the first rotational power output and fixed to an airframe of the multi-mode aircraft and a second resistance device coupled to the second rotational power output and fixed to the airframe. Operation of the first resistance device causes power received from the rotational power input to be directed to the second rotational power output.
