Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, a method is provided for non-destructive examination of a composite structure having a non-conductive surface and a conductive substrate. The method may include applying an alternating current to a probe having a coil conductor, scanning the probe across the non-conductive surface to induce eddy currents in the conductive substrate, and measuring changes in an electrical property of the probe in response to changes in the eddy currents indicative of variations in the depth of the conductive substrate.

Abstract: An aircraft and method to control flat yawing turns of the aircraft while maintaining a constant vector across a ground surface. The aircraft includes a control system in data communication with control actuators, a lateral control architecture, a longitudinal control architecture, and an initialization command logic. The lateral control architecture controls the aircraft in the lateral direction, while the longitudinal control architecture controls the aircraft in the longitudinal direction. The initialization command logic automatically activates the lateral control architecture and the longitudinal control architecture to maintain a constant vector across the ground whenever a directional control input is made at low speed.

Abstract: A vehicle instrument support and storage apparatus for a vehicle driven by a human driver who occupies a driver's seat of the vehicle provides a frame having a plate configured for attachment to a selected vehicle. The frame has a plurality of docking station positions. A rotary bearing is attachable to the vehicle. An instrument support includes a support panel and an arm having an inner and outer end portions, the arm inner end portion being connected to the rotary bearing. The instrument support panel is affixed to the outer end portion of the support arm. The instrument support has a locking portion that interlocks the instrument support to a selected one of the docking stations. An interlock of the instrument support with one docking station places the instrument support panel in front of the driver of the vehicle. An interlock of the instrument support with the other docking station places the instrument support in a position that is spaced away from (laterally, circumferentially and/or radially) first position. A locking portion includes a handle that enables the driver to grasp the handle to simultaneously: 1) move in a pivot motion the instrument support to either one of the docking stations; and 2) selectively connect the instrument support to or disconnect the instrument support from a selected one of the docking stations.
