摘要: A hydraulic actuator is configured to provide redundant boost control to an aircraft within approximately the same space required by a single hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic actuator includes a housing and a piston assembly disposed within the housing. The piston assembly includes a ram, a first piston secured to the ram, and second and third pistons disposed on the ram such that the second and third pistons are translatable relative to the longitudinal axis of the ram. The pistons form two hydraulically separate actuator cylinders within the space required by a single cylinder which results in a reduction in the weight and size of the hydraulic actuator.

摘要: A high power, high frequency attenuator which provides attenuation steps ch are switchable at very high speed, the attenuator implementing a method by which the input signal is split into two separate signals which are then subjected to impedance mismatches in the signal path, so that a portion of the split signals are reflected back to the signal splitter for dissipation there and the remaining portions of the split signal are transmitted to a summing circuit for recombination and output. The value of mismatch imposed determines the degree of attenuation obtained. The splitting of the signal reduces the stress upon the mismatched components as well as permits high switching speeds of the mismatches in and out of the circuit. In one embodiment of the invention directional couplers are used to provide the signal splitting and recombination functions, with the result that high isolation is achieved between the input port and the reflected signal caused by the mismatches.

摘要: A de-icing system for an airfoil includes a flexible skin having one or more stiffening elements embedded therein and one or more actuators positioned within the airfoil and configured to engage an impact area of the flexible skin with a displacement force. The stiffening elements extend substantially parallel to the leading edge of an airfoil and are placed in a chordwise succession proceeding away from the leading edge of the airfoil. The one or more stiffening elements are configured to transmit the displacement force to a non-impact area of the flexible skin adjacent to or near the one or more stiffening elements. The displacement force causes an outer surface of the flexible skin adjacent to the impact area to be distorted and an outer surface of the flexible skin of the non-impact area to be distorted.

摘要: A modular battery system includes an array of battery modules arranged in at least one stack. Each battery module includes a plurality of battery cells, a first side having positive and negative receptacles and a second side, that is opposite of the first side, having positive and negative plugs. The receptacles and plugs are configured such that adjacent battery modules in a side-by-side relationship are electrically coupled together via plug and receptacle connections and such that the battery modules are electrically coupled together in parallel. An interconnection electrically couples each stack of battery modules together via plug and receptacle connections with one of the battery modules in each stack such that the stacks of battery modules are electrically coupled together in parallel. Each of the battery modules includes a thermal conditioning system configured to thermally isolate the battery module from the other battery modules.

摘要: In an embodiment, an aircraft includes a drive system, a main engine coupled to the drive system to provide first power, and a supplemental engine coupled to the drive system to provide second power additive to the first power. The aircraft also includes a control system to control the main engine and the supplemental engine to optimize usage of the supplemental engine. The control system is operable to maintain the supplemental engine in a reduced power state at least until a determination is made that supplemental power is needed to satisfy a total power demand of the drive system. The control system is also operable to determine that supplemental power is needed to satisfy the total power demand of the drive system. The control system is further operable to increase a power level of the supplemental engine in response to the determination that supplemental power is needed.

摘要: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for estimating wear in aircraft rotor systems. Data associated with loads and motions of a swashplate actuator is collected. The swashplate actuator drives a swashplate and at least one control link is coupled to the swashplate. The loads and motions of the at least one control link is estimated based upon the loads and motions of the swashplate actuator. Using a wear model, the current wear of control link components is estimated due to the loads and motions of the at least one control link. Wear estimates for the components are aggregated across multiple flights and used to determine when maintenance actions should occur.

摘要: An aircraft emergency descent method includes setting a pre-set maximum collective blade pitch and a pre-set altitude as part of a failure procedure; monitoring rotor assemblies through an aircraft control system and a failure detection module; determining when a rotor assembly has failed; and activating the failure procedure. The failure procedure includes commanding a maximum torque to a motor of each rotor assembly such that the rotational velocity of functioning rotors increases; detecting the increase in rotational velocity; adjusting either motor torque or a collective blade pitch to regulate rotational velocity; monitoring altitude of the aircraft; and upon determining when the aircraft reaches the pre-set altitude, adjusting the collective blade pitch to the pre-set maximum collective blade pitch via the at least one governor such that momentum is conserved, causing a descent rate of the aircraft to decrease as the aircraft approaches a ground surface.
