Abstract: An electric hydraulic motor system for aircraft having a taxing and takeoff mode and a braking mode. While in the taxiing and takeoff mode, a battery and optionally other sources of energy stored within the aircraft together provide energy to drive an electric motor which in turn drives a hydraulic pump creating hydraulic pressure within the aircraft hydraulic system. The increase in hydraulic pressure within the system actuates a hydraulic motor connected to the aircraft wheels, thereby providing rotation to the wheels of the aircraft, moving the aircraft forward. Alternatively, while in the braking mode, the rotation of the wheels of the aircraft drive a second hydraulic pump which imparts an increase of the hydraulic pressure within the aircraft hydraulic system. The increase in hydraulic pressure within the aircraft hydraulic system drives a second hydraulic motor which drives an electric generator which simultaneously slows the aircraft and charges the aircraft battery.

Abstract: In the proposed method, each landing gear wheel is rotated with the aid of one of the radial- or axial-type air turbines which are mounted on said wheel, rotate in opposite directions and to which compressed air from the main engines or from an auxiliary power-generating plant of the aircraft is fed. The wheels are spun by one of the turbines before landing or during forwards movement on the ground, while the other turbine is used for braking after touchdown, and also for reversing and for turns when manoeuvring. Air is also used for bleeding and cooling a wheel brake. Non-communicating air collectors of the turbines are connected by a telescopic pipe, which is fastened on a landing gear leg, via control valves to on-board compressed-air sources. Brake stator discs have through-channel sectors and are nozzle diaphragms, while rotor discs have through-channels arranged uniformly around the circumference and are working wheels of the axial turbine. Nozzle apparatuses of the radial turbine are mounted on the stator, while the working wheel is mounted on the internal rim of the landing gear wheel. The nozzle apparatuses are connected by sector air ducts to the corresponding air collectors.

Abstract: A system is provided for maximizing efficient ground travel in wide-body and other aircraft equipped with onboard non-engine drive means for autonomous ground travel. Selective operation of the non-engine drive means and selective operation of the aircraft's engines are integrated to power aircraft movement when different ground travel speeds are required between landing and takeoff, optimizing savings and maximizing the cost/benefit ratio for equipping the aircraft with a non-engine drive means. The non-engine drive means may be designed to move a wide-body aircraft at low speeds required for ground maneuvers in a ramp area to move the aircraft at speeds typically used for pushback, initial forward roll, all start-stop situations, and other low speed ground travel. One or more of the aircraft's engines may be operated to move the aircraft at higher taxi speeds.

Abstract: A sprag clutch assembly for an aircraft drive wheel drive system capable of moving an aircraft autonomously on the ground in both forward and reverse directions is provided. The clutch is mounted within an aircraft drive wheel to be operatively engaged to control drive means braking torque when the aircraft is driven in a forward or reverse direction. The clutch assembly includes a plurality of pivoted sprag elements activatable to transmit torque and configured so that ratcheting occurs only when the aircraft drive wheel is driven in a forward direction and a braking torque is applied when the aircraft drive wheel is driven in reverse when the relative speed of the drive system is slower than the drive wheel speed, thereby permitting the drive system drive motor to function as a brake when the clutch assembly is engaged and the aircraft is reversing.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an autonomous accelerated pushback process in an aircraft equipped with an engines-off taxi system is provided to maximize safety and facilitate the accelerated pushback process. The aircraft is equipped with a monitoring system including a number of different kinds of sensors and monitoring devices positioned to maximally monitor the aircraft's exterior ground environment and communicate the presence or absence of obstructions in the aircraft's path while the pilot is controlling the engines-off taxi system to drive the aircraft in reverse away from a terminal gate and then turn in place at a selected location before driving forward to a taxiway. The sensors and monitoring devices may be a combination of cameras, ultrasound, global positioning, radar, and LiDAR or LADAR devices, and proximity sensors located at varying heights adapted to continuously or intermittently scan or sweep the aircraft exterior and ground environment during aircraft ground movement.

Abstract: A system is provided for dissipating heat in an onboard non-engine powered aircraft wheel drive assembly with drive means that power one or more aircraft wheels to drive the aircraft autonomously on the ground without directly using the aircraft engines. The heat dissipation system is integral with a wheel drive assembly mounted substantially completely within a nose or main landing gear wheel. A reservoir mounted outboard or inboard of the wheel drive assembly increases thermal distribution mass and fluidically communicates with wheel drive assembly components to automatically circulate heat transfer fluid between the wheel drive assembly and the reservoir when the operating temperature exceeds a predetermined maximum temperature during aircraft ground travel. The heat dissipating system can be retrofitted in an existing aircraft to improve thermal distribution and prolong wheel drive assembly and drive means operation and useful life.
