摘要: Systems and methods are provided for a high efficiency cold plate system. A high efficiency cold plate system may include an interior surface. A heat source may be configured adjacent to a lower portion of the interior surface. The interior surface may enclose an interior region. The interior surface may also include members extending across the interior surface. The members may be separated by an orifice. The members and interior surface may defined an inlet region and an outlet region. The inlet and outlet regions may be fluidly joined by an orifice separating the members extending across the interior surface. The members may be angled relative to a lower portion of the interior surface. Angling the members may allow the system to constrain and direct fluid flowing through the system to achieve efficient cooling.

摘要: A system for maintaining a fleet of aircraft batteries located at multiple airports. The system may be configured to obtain charge information and battery health information for individual batteries within the fleet of aircraft batteries from charging containers located at individuals ones of the multiple airports. The charge information may include charge statuses of the individual batteries and/or the battery health information may characterize the degradation of the individual batteries over time. The system may determine predictions of one or more batteries to be re-allocated and/or to receive maintenance based on the battery health information. The system may generate a battery management plan including the one or more predictions recommending one or more batteries to be re-allocated and/or to receive maintenance.

摘要: A system for determining and/or controlling motor thrust and engine thrust in a parallel hybrid aircraft. One or more sensors may be configured to monitor one or more flight parameters to generate sensor information. User input including one or more pilot estimates may be received. The sensor information may be obtained. A performance thrust ratio may be calculated based on the user input, the sensor information, an aerodynamic model, a propeller model, and a battery model. The performance thrust ratio may be used to control the motor thrust and engine thrust to improve utilization of electric energy throughout a flight. A first thrust setting for the motor and/or a second thrust setting for the engine may be determined based on the performance thrust ratio.
