Abstract: A marine propeller is disclosed having two blades. The shape of the propeller blades remains constant through the radial position of the propeller blades. The blade length of the propeller blades changes as a function of the radial position of the propeller blade. The twist angle of each blade starts at approximately 63 degrees at the propeller hub (proximal end) and decreases to about 15 degrees at the blade tip (distal end).

Abstract: An autonomous aerial system for delivering a payload to a waypoint. The autonomous aerial system may comprise an aerial vehicle to transport the payload to the waypoint and an onboard supervisory control system operatively coupled with the aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle may be configured to navigate to the waypoint and to land at a designated touchdown zone within a landing zone at the waypoint. The onboard supervisory control system having a processor operatively coupled with a non-volatile memory device and a sensor package. The processor may be configured to generate flight control signal data based at least in part on data received via the sensor package, the sensor package configured to (1) dynamically sense and avoid obstacles along a flight route to the waypoint, and (2) perceive physical characteristics of the landing zone. The processor may be configured to autonomously navigate the aerial vehicle to the waypoint and to determine whether to touchdown at the designated touchdown zone based at least in part on physical characteristics of the designated touchdown zone perceived via said sensor package.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the manufacture of battery packs/assemblies and more specifically, the manufacture of battery packs/assemblies for use in aircraft. A lightweight battery assembly with cell compression and/or pressure management system is disclosed herein. The battery assembly can employ a composite battery enclosure impregnated with a plurality of primary fibers that define a direction of the composite battery enclosure's tensile strength. A cell-stack can be positioned in the composite battery enclosure such that the composite battery enclosure applies a predetermined pressure upon the cell-stack to compress the cell-stack in the direction of the composite battery enclosure's tensile strength.

Abstract: An obstacle-avoidance system for a vehicle, the obstacle-avoidance system may comprise: a communication device; a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors configured to detect collision threats within a predetermined distance of the vehicle; and a processor. The processor may communicatively couple to the communication device and the plurality of sensors and configured to receive navigation commands being communicated to a control system via said communication device. The processor may also receive, from at least one of said plurality of sensors, obstruction data reflecting the position of an obstruction. Using the obstruction data, the processor identifies a direction for avoiding said obstruction. In response, the processor may output, via said communication device, a derivative command to said control system causing the vehicle to travel in said flight direction.

Abstract: The subject disclosure relates to a simulation system having an aircraft, a local wireless transceiver, and a simulation computer. The aircraft may include an onboard wireless transceiver and a flight controller operatively coupled with an onboard sensor payload to perceive a physical environment and to generate position and pose data. The simulation computer may be configured to communicate wirelessly with the aircraft via the local wireless transceiver. In operation, the simulation computer may be configured to generate one or more virtual reality sensor inputs and to receive the position and pose data from the aircraft. The simulation computer can be configured to transmit the one or more virtual reality sensor inputs to the flight controller of the aircraft.

Abstract: An automated detection and avoidance system that provides a pilot with high-fidelity knowledge of the aircraft's physical state, and notifies the pilot of any deviations in expected state based on predictive models. The automated detection and avoidance system may include a processor and a sensor payload operatively coupled to the processor to detect a non-cooperative obstacle within a first airspace adjacent the aircraft. The sensor payload may comprise a radar to radially scan the first airspace, and a camera to scan a second airspace within said first airspace.

Abstract: An aircrew automation system that provides a pilot with high-fidelity knowledge of the aircraft's physical state, and notifies that pilot of any deviations in expected state based on predictive models. The aircrew automation may be provided as a non-invasive ride-along aircrew automation system that perceives the state of the aircraft through visual techniques, derives the aircraft state vector and other aircraft information, and communicates any deviations from expected aircraft state to the pilot. The aircrew automation may also monitor pilot health and, when needed, function as a robotic co-pilot to perform emergency descent and landing operations.
