Abstract: A land-and-air vehicle configured to switch between a ground traveling mode and an aerial flight mode incudes a body, a wing, a wheel, a suspension, and a lock mechanism. The wing is attached to the body. The wheel is provided on a lower side of the body. The suspension is configured to support the body via the wheel on ground, and to contract due to self-weight of the land-and-air vehicle. The lock mechanism is configured to limit expansion of the suspension from a state in which the suspension has contracted due to the self-weight.

Abstract: An aircraft landing gear assembly including a structural load bearing beam arranged, in use, to react torsional loads applied to it. The beam has a tubular box section main body having four straight sidewall portions, adjacent sidewall portions being orthogonal to one another and connected by rounded corner portions. Each corner portion has a radius of between 10% and 40% of the width and/or height of the tubular box section main body.

Abstract: An aircraft undercarriage comprising a telescopic linear rod (0, 0′, 0″) comprising first and second sliding rod portions. The undercarriage further comprises: a first permanent magnet set (1a, 1a′, 1a″) fastened to the first rod portion (1, 1′, 1″); and a second permanent magnet set (2a, 2a′, 2a″) fastened to the second rod portion (2, 2′, 2″); the first and second permanent magnet sets (1a, 1a′, 1a″, 2a, 2a′, 2a″) generating a magnetic repulsion force between the first rod portion (1, 1′, 1″) and the second rod portion (2, 2′, 2″) and maintaining a first annular space (E1) between the first rod portion and the second rod portion.

Abstract: An aircraft assembly having a first region, a second region spaced from the first region by a flexible region, and a deflection sensor. The first region has greater positional stability than the second region such that the second region deflects further from its default position than the first region during in-use loads. The deflection sensor includes a first gyroscope at the first region to generate a first signal representing rotation of the first region about one or more orthogonal axes, and a second gyroscope at the second region to generate a second signal representing rotation of the second region about the one or more axes. The second gyroscope is synchronised in time with the first. A controller subtracts one of the first and second signals from the other to obtain a differential signal representing deflection of the second region relative to the first due to flexing of the flexible region.

Abstract: The invention discloses a hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicles. The hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a body, a tail, at least one power source and a lens bin, wherein the body comprises a middle section, a first side section and a second side section; two sides of the middle section are respectively detachably connected with the first side section and the second side section correspondingly; the tail is fixed to the middle section; the power source is fixed to the middle section; and the lens bin is fixed to the middle section and provided with a flexible cushion. The invention overcomes the technical defects in the prior art that the body maintenance cost of the hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle is high and the lens bin is very likely to be damaged due to collision between the lens bin of the hand-launched unmanned aerial vehicle and the ground.

Abstract: An active landing gear damping system and method for decelerating a vehicle during a terrain impact event, such as an aircraft landing or crash. The system monitors aircraft state data and terrain information to predict an impact of the vehicle with the terrain. The system can then determine a target damper force for each landing gear of the vehicle and a predicted damper velocity at the time of impact. Each landing gear can include an adjustable damper valve, wherein adjustment of the damper valves varies the damping coefficient of the respective dampers. The system can adjust valves of the respective dampers to provide the target force based on the predicted damper velocity. After an impact begins, the system can continuously monitor and adjust the valve to maintain the target force.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an axial engagement-controlled variable damper comprising a rotor assembly coupled to a rotor shaft and disposed about an axis of rotation and a stator, coaxially aligned with the rotor assembly. The axial engagement-controlled variable damper may further comprise a flux sleeve, axially movable relative to the rotor assembly between at least a first position and a second position. The flux sleeve may comprise a circumferential flange portion disposed radially between the rotor assembly and the stator, and may be configured to alter magnetic coupling between the stator and the rotor assembly in response being moved axially. The axial-engagement controlled variable damper may be configured to generate a first drag torque in response to the flux sleeve being in the first position and a second drag torque in response to the flux sleeve being in the second position.
