    摘要: An actuator assembly includes an actuator body, a ram, and a cross pin. The actuator body has an internal axial cavity bounded by an actuator body wall and defines a pivot axis. A longitudinal slot extends along a portion of the length of the actuator body wall and is in communication with the internal axial cavity. The ram is slidably received within the axial cavity of the actuator body. The cross pin is mounted to the ram and extends laterally from the ram and into the longitudinal slot for converting linear motion of the ram into rotational motion about the pivot axis for displacing a control surface of an air vehicle.

    摘要: A stabilizer actuator has a first end for connecting to an aircraft support structure and a second end for connecting to a stabilizer. The actuator includes a primary load path for transmittal of loads acting on the stabilizer to the aircraft support structure, and a secondary load path for transmittal of loads acting on the stabilizer to the aircraft support structure upon failure of the primary load path. The secondary load path includes a tie rod extending along a longitudinal axis, a load path locking mechanism coupled to the tie rod, a lock housing having a central bore for receiving the locking mechanism, and at least one radially movable segment that, upon failure of the primary load path, moves radially to lock the tie rod to the lock housing against axial and/or radial movement.

    摘要: An aircraft includes an airfoil and a hinge member to rotatably couple the airfoil to a structure of an aircraft. The hinge member defines at least a portion of a rotational axis. The aircraft also includes an indexing mechanism coupled to the airfoil and configured to, in a first state, inhibit rotation of the airfoil about the rotational axis, and in a second state, to permit rotation of the airfoil about the rotational axis between a first position and a second position that is angularly indexed relative to the first position. The aircraft further includes an actuator to selectively change a state of the indexing mechanism from the first state to the second state, from the second state to the first state, or both.

    摘要: An airfoil assembly for an aircraft includes an airfoil body having an internal frame and a skin covering the internal frame to define a cavity of the airfoil body. The airfoil body defines a span between a root and a tip and is deflectable in a deflection direction transverse to the span upon experiencing aerodynamic loading. At least one shaft is attached to the airfoil body and disposed within the cavity adjacent to an inner surface of the skin. The shaft extends along at least part of the span. A shaft measuring device is mounted to the airfoil body within the cavity. The shaft measuring device operates to measure a parameter of the shaft caused by deflection of the airfoil body such that the parameter is indicative of the aerodynamic loading on the airfoil body. A method for determining aerodynamic loading on an airfoil body is also disclosed.
