摘要： An emulator configured to emulate an automated aircraft assembly jig supporting an aircraft assembly is disclosed. The emulator connectable to an automated equipment module and configured to: send a first signal to an automated equipment module, wherein the first signal is representative of a communication to the automated equipment module; and receive a second signal from the automated equipment module representative of a communication from the automated equipment module, wherein the automated equipment module is arranged to operate autonomously on an aircraft assembly.

摘要： A method of determining the position of one or more components of a landing gear assembly of an aircraft is disclosed including scanning the one or more components with a lidar system to generate a set of position data points, each position data point comprising a set of three orthogonal position values. The position data points are partitioned into one or more clusters using a distance metric. Each cluster is determined to represent a component of the landing gear assembly. The position of the components are then determined from the position data points in the clusters. The value of the distance metric for a first position data point and a second position data point is representative of the difference between a first position value of the three orthogonal position values of the first position data point and the corresponding first position value of the three orthogonal position values of the second position data point.

摘要： An aircraft wing box is disclosed having a fuel tank with a fuel-tight boundary, upper and lower covers, forward and aft spars, and a partition including an inboard portion, an outboard portion, and a third portion between the inboard and outboard portions. Each cover is attached to each spar, the inboard portion of the partition is joined to each cover and joined to one of the spars, the outboard portion of the partition is joined to each cover and joined to one of the spars, each cover is joined to the partition. The inboard part, outboard part and third part of the partition are integrally formed as a single-piece; and the single-piece provides part of the fuel-tight boundary of the fuel tank.

摘要： An apparatus for an aircraft having one or more aircraft wheel brakes, and a brake wear sensor configured to measure a wear state of a brake of the one or more aircraft wheel brakes, is disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor configured to determine a wear relationship between a wear state of the brake and a number of use cycles of the brake, determine a predicted wear state of the brake based on the wear relationship; determine a number of future use cycles of the brake based on a predicted condition of the brake, the predicted condition comprising the predicted wear state of the brake; and provide an indication of the determined number of the future use cycles to ground crew and/or a pilot of the aircraft, wherein the number of future use cycles is the number of use cycles for which the brake is allowed to be used, and a use cycle comprises all uses of the brake relating to a flight undertaken by the aircraft.

摘要： A method of landing an aircraft in which the aircraft receives information from a second aircraft via a direct aircraft-to-aircraft communication from the second aircraft to the aircraft; determines a landing plan of the aircraft based on the information; and lands the aircraft based on the landing plan. The use of a direct aircraft-to-aircraft communication (i.e. a communication from the second aircraft to the first aircraft which does not travel via an intermediary such as a land station, air traffic controller or satellite) makes the method reliable because such a communication is inherently secure and difficult to hack.

摘要： A seal for sealing an aircraft fuel tank, an aircraft wing rib and stringer sealing assembly, an aircraft wing fuel tank, an aircraft structural wing box, an aircraft wing, and a method of sealing an aperture are disclosed. The seal is for sealing a wing rib to a stringer passing through an aperture in the rib at a variable position in the aperture. The seal includes self-adjustment means to absorb any tolerance when forming the seal, upon the stringer being assembled into the aperture in the rib.

摘要： A method for controlling the application of aircraft wheel brakes including: controlling the application of a first wheel brake of an aircraft and a second wheel brake of the aircraft in dependence upon a determined relationship to control the time taken for the first wheel brake and the second wheel brake to reach respective specified temperatures. The relationship is determined between a first cooling characteristic of the first wheel brake, according to which the first wheel brake cools when in a first retracted position within the aircraft, and a second cooling characteristic of the second wheel brake, according to which the second wheel brake cools when in a second retracted position within the aircraft.

摘要： An aircraft control system (100) including an input interface (102), an output interface (114) and a processing engine (108) having a classifier (110) that applies input data (104) generated by the input interface (102) to generate output control data (112). The classifier (110) has a plurality of parameters which represent a control policy for operating the aircraft (800). The output interface (114) generates control outputs to control the aircraft (800) based on the output control data (112). A machine learning system (900) for training the classifier (110) including an environment (902), a pathway evaluation engine (904), storage (906), and a training engine (908). The machine learning system (900) generates training data (912) by selecting a pathway representing an operating procedure using the pathway evaluation engine (904). The training engine (908) trains the classifier (110) using the training data (912).

摘要： A coupling for connecting vacuum-insulated piping is disclosed. The coupling facilitates the detection of unwanted fluid ingress into the low pressure insulating outer portion of the vacuum-insulated piping and the detection of a leak from the central portion of the vacuum-insulated piping that is used to carry cold fluids. This is achieved by providing a first leak path from the central portion of the vacuum-insulated piping to a sensor outlet and a second leak path from the outer portion of the vacuum-insulated piping to the sensor outlet. One sensor may be used to detect unwanted fluid ingress into the low pressure insulating outer portion and also detect a leak from the central portion of the vacuum-insulated piping.
