Abstract: An aircraft includes a fuselage having a former therein and a work platform system. The work platform system includes a platform that is moveable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The work platform system also has a hinge pin received by the platform. A platform stop is carried by the former and configured to inhibit rotation of the platform about the hinge pin when the platform is in the deployed configuration. The hinge pin is carried by the former.

Abstract: A system is described and includes a rack for carrying payload disposed in a payload bay; and a payload extension assembly for affecting linear translation of the rack between a first position in which the rack is fully retracted within the payload bay and a second position in which the payload extension assembly is fully extended and the rack is supported outside the payload bay. The payload extension assembly comprises forward and aft tracks respectively attached to forward and aft walls of the payload bay; a first stage for providing linear translation of the rack relative to the forward and aft tracks; and a second stage for providing linear translation of the rack relative to the first stage. The system further comprises a payload actuator system for selectively causing the rack extension assembly to move the rack between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A wing assembly for an aircraft includes a torque box sleeve having an open end and a plurality of integral sides including leading, aft, top and bottom sides that jointlessly form a continuous surface having a generally airfoil shape. The wing assembly includes an internal support subassembly having a plurality of ribs coupled to a central spar. The internal support subassembly is formed into a single component outside the torque box sleeve and inserted into the open end of the torque box sleeve as the single component. The internal support subassembly is coupled to an interior of the torque box sleeve.
