Abstract: An aircraft includes a battery pack, an internal support structure to support the battery pack in the aircraft, a first bracket rigidly coupling the battery pack to the support structure, and a second bracket rotationally coupling the battery pack to the support structure. The first and second brackets may be located on opposite sides of the battery pack. The internal support structure may be located in a wing of the aircraft and the first and second brackets may be aligned in a fore-aft direction of the aircraft. The internal support structure may be located in a nacelle of the aircraft and the first and second brackets may be aligned along a transverse direction of the aircraft. The second bracket may include two hangers to support a mass of the battery pack in tension.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a battery pack mounted inside the aircraft, a vent coupled between the battery pack and a surface of the aircraft to at least partly define a vent path between the battery pack and the surface of the aircraft, and a burst membrane located in the vent path. The vent may be coupled to a rear upper portion of a wing or to an outboard side of a nacelle. The aircraft may also include a flexible coupling between the vent and the surface of the aircraft. The aircraft may also include a fairing over a vent outlet to provide a smooth surface for the vent outlet. The battery pack may include battery modules and an enclosure, the battery modules and the enclosure defining paths along which discharge from a thermal event can flow towards the vent.
