摘要: Exemplary embodiments of a system and method are provided for detecting cracks and crack propagation in aircraft structures subject to repetitive stress. A method for detecting onset or propagation of defects in a structure includes monitoring the structure with an infrared sensor to provide thermal data of the structure within a field of view of the infrared sensor. A processor is used to process the thermal data memory to extract features from the thermal data and utilize at least one machine learning model to detect onset or propagation of defects in the structure. A system includes an infrared sensor having a field of view of the structure and a processor coupled to the infrared sensor and a memory, which contains instructions that cause the processor to process thermal data from the infrared sensor to extract features from the thermal data and utilize at least one machine learning model to detect onset or propagation of the defects in the structure.

摘要: Seat assemblies and aircraft interiors are provided. An aircraft interior includes a floor, a seat base fixed to the floor, a seat frame, a seat body, an obstacle, and a seat maze. The seat frame is selectively fixed to the seat base and includes a frame rail circumscribing the seat base to define a bounding area in which the seat base may translate relative to the seat frame. The seat body is mounted on the seat frame and includes an arm portion. The obstacle is proximate the arm portion of the seat body. The seat maze is configured to guide the seat frame around a clearance area within the bounding area to maintain a predetermined clearance between the arm portion and the obstacle.

摘要: The disclosed embodiments relate to methods and systems for avoiding a collision between an aircraft on the ground and an obstacle using a three-dimensional visual indication of the area or plane of winglets on the wingtips of the aircraft. The method includes receiving a video image from a camera positioned in one of the winglets, the video image representing a field of view through which the winglet of the aircraft will pass along a present heading of the aircraft. Next a processor determines a three-dimensional area or plane within the field of view through which the winglet of the aircraft will pass. An overlay is displayed within the field of view to assist the pilot in avoiding collisions with obstacles

摘要: Apparatuses for supporting an aircraft component adjacent to an aircraft and methods for the same are provided. In one example, the apparatus includes an adapter for removably coupling to the aircraft component. A winch subassembly includes an axle that is coupled to the adapter and has a longitudinal axis. A first gear is operatively coupled to the axle to drive the axle to rotate about the longitudinal axis for rotating the adapter. The winch subassembly is configured to couple to a lift to position the adapter adjacent to the aircraft.

摘要: Air stair support systems, stair support cable assemblies, and hooks are disclosed herein. A stair support system includes, but is not limited to, an aircraft fuselage, a door seal, a stair door, and a stair support cable assembly. The aircraft fuselage defines a door frame and a stair hook receptacle. The stair door has a retracted position within the door frame and an extended position that forms an entry/exit stairway. The stair support cable assembly includes a cable and two hooks. The first hook includes a curved end portion configured to hook onto the stair hook receptacle, a cable end portion secured to the cable, and an intermediate portion having first and second intermediate legs that extend the intermediate portion away from the door seal when installed on the door frame and the stair door. The second hook is configured to hook on the stair door.

摘要: A system and a method for drone detection and collision avoidance, particularly for use in an aircraft, is provided. The system includes, but is not limited to a sensor, a processor, and an avoidance unit comprising a control unit. The sensor is configured to detect a drone signal in a predetermined space and to transmit the drone signal to the processor. The processor is configured to determine the presence of a drone in the predetermined space based on the drone signal. The processor is configured to transmit a command to the avoidance unit when the processor determines the presence of a drone. The control unit is configured to receive the command and to generate a warning signal in response to receiving the command.
