    Abstract: A cable support apparatus for an aircraft cable control system comprises at least one cable support unit. The cable support unit includes a pulley adapted to carry a cable of the aircraft cable control system, a support link with a first joint between the pulley and the support link and a second joint between the support link and the structure of the aircraft, and a compensation link connected with the structure of the aircraft. The thermal expansion of the compensation link causes a displacement of the support link. An aircraft and a method for maintaining a tension of a cable of a cable control system of an aircraft are also provided.

    Abstract: A composite material includes a honeycomb layer with top and bottom sides. The honeycomb layer includes a plurality of walls defining a plurality of cells therein. A first adhesive layer is disposed adjacent to the top side of the honeycomb layer. A second adhesive layer is disposed adjacent to the bottom side of the honeycomb layer. A third adhesive layer is disposed adjacent to the first adhesive layer on the top side of the honeycomb layer. A first composite layer is disposed adjacent to the third adhesive layer on the top side of the honeycomb layer. A second composite layer is disposed adjacent to the second adhesive layer on the bottom side of the honey comb layer. At least the third adhesive layer comprises viscous properties that discourage the creation of channels within the first composite layer when co-cured.

    Abstract: A bias gain system for aircraft rudder comprises a pair of connector ends receiving an actuation force from a bias actuator. A rudder bar interface is positioned between the connector ends. The interface rotates about the rudder bar as a function of the actuation forces from the bias actuators. A mechanism comprises links and joints between the connector ends and the rudder bar is actuatable between a contracted configuration, in which first moment arms are defined between the connector ends and the rudder bar interface, and an expanded gain configuration, in which second moment arms have a greater dimension than the first moment arms. An actuator is connected to the mechanism to actuate the mechanism to actuate the mechanism independently from the actuation forces from the bias actuators, to move the mechanism between configurations. An aircraft and a method for controlling a torque on a rudder bar of an aircraft are also provided.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus disclosed herein may facilitate the evaluation of time-correlated operational data associated with a mobile platform more effectively by presenting the relevant data in ways that are relatively straightforward to interpret and more favorable to the identification of potential root causes. In some aspects, the methods and apparatus disclosed herein may facilitate the evaluation of multiple systems simultaneously at different points in time to study the initiation and evolution of one or more faults across one or more systems. In various embodiments, the methods and apparatus disclosed herein make use of graphic user interfaces containing synchronized elements such as two-dimensional plots, fault timelines, alert timelines and status information to facilitate diagnostics of mobile platforms.

    Abstract: Tailplanes and empennages for aircraft are disclosed. An exemplary tailplane disclosed includes a stabilizer having a fixed shape and an elevator movably secured to the stabilizer. The elevator is movable from a neutral position relative to the stabilizer. The stabilizer and the elevator define an airfoil cross-sectional shape having a positive camber when the elevator is in the neutral position. The positive camber of the airfoil cross-sectional shape may facilitate movement of the elevator during some flight conditions. Also disclosed are tailplanes having camber distributions that vary along the spans of the tailplanes.
