摘要： A marine vessel air induction system introduces air into an under-hull cavity bounded by an underside, first and second sides, and fore and aft planing surfaces. An air inlet receives ambient air. A plenum receives air from the inlet. A fore planing surface has a trailing edge. The trailing edge and the plenum define a step that communicates with the plenum to generate a first pressure that is less than ambient pressure as a free stream of water moves past the step. Air communicated from the plenum is entrainable in the water. A mixing chamber communicates with the step, and the step and the mixing chamber cooperate to permit kinetic energy of the water to increase pressure of entrained air. At an aft end of the mixing chamber, the entrained air exerts a second pressure that is greater than ambient. Air is exhausted upwardly into the cavity.

摘要： A pair of specially reinforced skin-spar joints in combination with a honeycomb core are used to build up a wing spar for a composite airplane wing. A series of contoured mandrels with a covering of fuel resistant material and a wrapped reinforced plastic are aligned one above the other. The wing spar materials are placed between the mandrels, honeycomb core is located alongside as well as wing skins to form a wing buildup. The buildup is placed in a mold, pressure applied to each mandrel forcing all the parts together, and the buildup heated to cure the resins and form a composite wing structure.

摘要： Airplanes which feature composite construction and have: a further aft than conventional center of gravity; a clean wing with a high aspect ratio; and all primary flight controls. These include trailing edge control segments (or elements) which extend the full span of the airplane wing. A central processor so schedules the upward and downward deployment of the control elements that: (1) downward and upward displacements of the control elements are respectively accompanied by pitch-up and pitch-down moments; (2) the inboard control elements are used primarily to change the coefficient of lift whereas roll control is effected principally by displacement of the outboard control elements; and (3) each of the control elements is individually displaced by a system which eliminates hydraulic systems and control cables. Hallmarks of these novel airplanes include simplicity, relatively low cost, lower weight, and safety.

摘要： Systems and methods for coupling tubes, pipes, conduits, ducts, and the like are disclosed. In at least some embodiments, a coupling assembly includes a sleeve, a retaining member having an angled end surface, and a locking member. A tube is positioned through the locking member, the retaining member, and into the sleeve. In a first position, a first portion of the locking member contacts an angled end surface of the retaining member, and a second portion of the locking member is spaced apart from the angled end surface. The locking member is then tilted into a second position wherein the second portion is relatively closer to the angled end surface to securely engage the locking member with the tube, and the locking member is then secured in the tilted (or second) position relative to the sleeve, thereby securing the tube within the sleeve.

摘要： The subject system includes a ramp subsystem and a mooring subsystem and is intended for use with single and multi deck ferry boats with ramp service directly to each deck. The ramp subsystem is carried on a float which is connected to the shore by a ramp hinged to the shore and to the float. A second ramp is hinged on the float and is adjustable to serve each deck of a multi deck boat in sequence. In an alternate embodiment, there are as many decks on the float as there are decks on the boats and no adjustment is needed. The mooring subsystem involves mechanism which connects an end of the boat to the float and allows lateral translation of the boat relative to the float, enabling the boat to be moored at one location on the float for unloading and to be moved to a second location for loading. This allows for one boat to be loading while a second is unloading simultaneously. There is a mooring mechanism at each side of the end of the boat and each mechanism includes at least one roller at a fixed center which engages one face of the rail and at least one roller controllable to engage and disengage the opposite face of the rail.

摘要： Design and construction of a composite material airplane having a high aspect-ratio wing and a horizontal double-lobe fuselage cross-section for cargo and/or passenger accommodations. The fuselage comprises a double-lobe shell of contoured honeycomb core composite panels and an interior vertical plane centerline web forming a divider between the lobes. Piano-hinge type joints are utilized for multi-panel junctures to provide uniform load distribution across the junctures. The piano-hinge juncture utilizes hinge lugs which are dimensioned to interface sequentially along the hinge axis, and the hinge lugs are interconnected by a tubular hinge pin.
