    Abstract: Disclosed is a foil bearing that includes a housing, a support structure associated with the housing, and a foil circumscribed at least in part by the support structure and spaced from the housing by the support structure. The foil includes a body section having a body material composition. The foil includes a sensor section having a conductive material composition, the sensor section having a circumferential portion surrounded at least in part by the body section. The foil includes a tab section that protrudes into the support structure and defines a first terminal and a second terminal associated with the sensor section.

    Abstract: A water extractor including: an inlet; an outlet; a body including a helical passageway having an exit proximate the outlet and an entrance; an elbow connector enclosing a fluid passageway that fluidly connects the inlet to the entrance of the helical passageway, the elbow connector being bent at a selected angle and including an inner radius and an outer radius opposite the inner radius; and a baffle extending from proximate the inlet to the entrance and located within the fluid passageway of the elbow connector, the baffle being configured to partition the fluid passageway into a first fluid passageway proximate the inner radius of the elbow connector and a second fluid passageway proximate the outer radius of the elbow connector.

    Abstract: A method of operating an aircraft air conditioning system is includes delivering cabin air to a lower recirculation heat exchanger included in a lower cooling zone to generate lower cooled recirculated cabin air and delivering the cabin air to an upper recirculation heat exchanger included in an upper cooling zone to generate upper cooled recirculation air. The method further comprising generating power via a power system, and invoking, via the controller, a recirculation ground maintenance mode to command the power system to deliver power to one or both of the lower cooling zone and the upper cooling zone so as to output one or both of the lower cooled recirculated cabin air and the upper cooled recirculated cabin to an aircraft cabin.

    Abstract: An aircraft air conditioning system includes a lower cooling zone and an upper cooling zone. The lower cooling zone includes a lower recirculation heat exchanger configured to receive cabin air from a cabin and convert the cabin air into lower cooled recirculated cabin air. The upper cooling zone includes an upper recirculation heat exchange configured to receive the cabin air from the cabin and convert the cabin air into upper cooled recirculated cabin air. A power system selectively delivers power to the lower cooling zone and the upper cooling zone. A controller is in signal communication with the power system. The controller determines a target temperature of the cabin and invokes a recirculation ground maintenance mode that commands the power system to deliver power to one or both of the lower cooling zone and the upper cooling zone so that a temperature of the cabin reaches the target temperature.

    Abstract: A counter-flow heat exchanger including: a primary flow passageway comprising a primary flow inlet, a primary flow outlet, and a plurality of primary flow subset passageways therebetween; a secondary flow passageway comprising a secondary flow inlet, a secondary flow outlet, and a plurality of secondary flow subset passageways therebetween; and a heat exchanger core comprising portions of the plurality of primary flow subset passageways and the plurality of secondary flow subset passageways, the secondary flow passageway being in thermal communication with the primary flow passageway in the heat exchanger core, wherein the primary flow subset passageways in the heat exchanger core and the secondary flow subset passageways in the heat exchanger core are oriented such that primary fluid flow through the primary flow subset passageways flows opposite secondary fluid flow through the secondary flow subset passageways.
