    摘要: A computer implemented method of determining a tire pressure is disclosed including the steps of receiving data of a recent stable point comprising both a tire gas pressure and a temperature; receiving data of a desired temperature, at which a current pressure is desired to be determined; and determining the current pressure based on the data of the recent stable point and the desired temperature.

    摘要: A wing tip device for a fixed wing aircraft is disclosed having an alular-like projection, a first leading edge region having a first sweep angle, a second leading edge region outboard of the first leading edge region in a spanwise direction and having a second sweep angle greater than the first sweep angle, a third leading edge region outboard of the second leading edge region in the spanwise direction and adjacent a tip end of the wing tip device and having a third sweep angle greater than the first sweep angle. The second leading edge region is adapted to generate a first vortex, and the third leading edge region is adapted to generate a second vortex which builds towards the tip end of the wing tip device.

    摘要: A method of fabricating an aircraft structural component for an aircraft includes providing a component precursor with a web and a flange extending from the web, wherein the web has a length, a height which is shorter than the length, a thickness which is shorter than the height, a first end proximal to the flange and a second end distal from the flange, applying tension to the component precursor in a direction parallel to the length of the web and with a magnitude that varies along the height of the web so as to increase the length of the web to different extents between the first end of the web and the second end of the web, sectioning the component precursor, and releasing the tension to allow shaping of the component precursor into a form required for the aircraft structural component.

    摘要: A system for monitoring an aircraft fluid storage tank assembly is disclosed including a pressure sensor configured to receive an acoustic signal emitted from a location within the aircraft fluid storage tank assembly in use and a controller. The controller is configured to receive information indicative of the acoustic signal from the pressure sensor and perform a determination process to determine, on the basis of the received acoustic signal, whether to output an indicator of a fault condition of the aircraft fluid storage tank assembly.

    摘要: A tire inflation optimization apparatus configured to determine an optimum inflation pressure for a tire installed on an aircraft is disclosed. The apparatus includes a memory and a controller. The memory stores information relating tire gas properties to aircraft schedule parameters and a reference pressure for the tire. The controller is configured to receive future schedule information indicative of a future flight schedule for the aircraft and to determine an optimum inflation pressure for the tire based on the received future schedule information, the stored information relating tire gas properties to aircraft schedule parameters, and the stored reference pressure.
