    Abstract: A system for re-energizing streamflow in control surfaces of aircraft, comprising a panel provided with at least one aerodynamic element movable at least between a rest position, where the at least one aerodynamic element does not protrude from the panel, and a use position, where the at least one aerodynamic element protrudes from the panel, acting as a vortex generator. The at least one aerodynamic element is a die-cut portion of the panel that is hinged to a remainder of the panel.

    Abstract: An aircraft comprising a fuselage extending along a longitudinal axis between a fore section and an aft section, wings mounted to the fuselage, a tail unit mounted to the aft section of the fuselage, and a first propulsion unit and a second propulsion unit both mounted to the aft section of the fuselage in such a way that a first axis of rotation of the first propulsion unit and a second axis of rotation of the second propulsion unit both extend in a vertical center plane spanned by the longitudinal axis and a yaw axis. The provided centerline mounted double-engine aircraft allows for a simple manufacture, maintenance and retrofit of the engines, in that the first propulsion unit and/or the second propulsion unit are arranged outside the fuselage.

    Abstract: A method for dynamic control of runway illumination on aircraft, suitable for controlling the illumination of a light equipment comprising a LED matrix and refraction optics during a flight phase. The method comprises the steps of a) determining predefined flight dynamic movement equations for the flight phase, b) obtaining real data from autonomous sensors independent from the aircraft sensors, c) using extended Kalman Filter and algorithm taking into account the data from the autonomous sensors to obtain the aircraft dynamics data. This step c) comprises the c1) predict phase and c2) update phase, and d) applying the obtained aircraft dynamics data to light control laws affecting the light equipment.

    Abstract: An aircraft with an auxiliary power unit attached to the aircraft fuselage via an attachment system. The auxiliary power unit is placed inside the aircraft fuselage structure. The attachment system comprises a plurality of structural wires that link the auxiliary power unit to the aircraft fuselage structure. An attachment device is located at the end of each structural wire to connect the structural wire to the aircraft fuselage structure. Each attachment device comprises a metallic plate adjacent to the aircraft fuselage structure and a layer of damping elastomeric material adjacent to the metallic plate. The metallic plate is placed between the layer of damping elastomeric material and the aircraft fuselage structure. The attachment device is joined to the aircraft fuselage structure by attachment fasteners.

    Abstract: A device for winding an ancillary material which includes: a support mechanism; at least two slats connected to the support mechanism and arranged substantially forming a tubular element, defining an internal section between them; a bar; and an end part; wherein the bar is rigidly attached at a first end to the support mechanism, arranged longitudinally along the inside of the internal section, and configured for being connected at a second end to the end part; and wherein the end part includes a connection mechanism configured for being coupled, in a manner which can be uncoupled, with the second end of the bar, such that in the coupled state of the end part, the internal section defined by the slats is larger than it is in the uncoupled state of the end part.
