Abstract: A swivel locking system for preventing swiveling of a seat frame includes a locking pin and a series of pulleys along with a housing attached to a swivel plate. The locking pin is located in the housing and is biased to be extended downwardly through an aperture in the swivel plate and retracted from the aperture via a cable. The seat frame is able to be swiveled when the locking pin is retracted from the aperture, thereby unlocking the seat frame from a bottom support.

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: An aircraft skin alignment system includes a support structure to support one or more aircraft skins, a puller tool, and a clamp tool; the puller tool having a base, the base supporting a holding mechanism to releasably engage with a first aircraft skin and a pulling mechanism to apply a pulling force to the first aircraft skin when the first aircraft skin is engaged with the holding mechanism; and the clamp tool having a body supporting an edge locator; the puller tool is to pull the first aircraft skin such that a first edge of the aircraft skin abuts the edge locator, the edge locator preventing the first edge from being pulled past the edge locator; and tool holes can be drilled into the first aircraft skin such that the tool holes are aligned based on an edge index due to a position of the edge locator.

Abstract: A battery system includes a first battery cell; a second battery cell positioned adjacent to the first battery cell; and a fusible link connecting the first battery cell to the second battery cell. The fusible link having a first tab connected to and extending from the first battery cell; a second tab connected to and extending from the second battery cell; and a connection connecting the first tab to the second tab; the connection is to release the first tab from the second tab upon being heated to a threshold temperature; and releasing the first tab from the second tab protects the first battery cell from thermal runaway conditions of the second cell.

Abstract: An electric aircraft includes a forward wing and an aft wing both located on a top side of a fuselage and both having an upward dihedral angle. The forward wing has a straight or slightly forward-swept leading edge. The aft wing has a swept leading edge. A plurality of propeller engines are located on a leading-edge side of the forward wing. A single propeller engine may be located on a top side of an aft end of the fuselage; alternatively, a plurality of propeller engines are located on the aft wing on either its leading or trailing edge. The propeller engines are each powered by an electric motor. An unobstructed cargo door is located on a side of the fuselage, aft of the forward wing.

Abstract: A doorway side guide system includes a base mechanically coupled with a bottom portion of a doorway. A mounting member is rotatably coupled to the base via a hinge for rotating between a deployed position and a stowed position. A contact member is mechanically coupled with the mounting member via a pivot such that the contact member is configured to rotate about the pivot. The contact member extends outside of the doorway in the deployed position for guiding cargo through the doorway and for protecting a doorframe of the doorway.

Abstract: A system and method for unlatching an aircraft door is disclosed. The system includes a latch pin design which enables retraction of the pin in the event the ordinary unlatching mechanical systems fail. The system includes the use of a rod that is reversely threaded on each side. Rotation of the rod either extends or retracts the pin.
