Abstract:
A system for deploying an airbag when an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has failed or is no longer able to sustain flight, comprising a triggering means which releases compressed air into a bag or bags which are configured to expand around the UAV for the purpose of reducing the deceleration forces of the UAV on impact. UAV's are provided that are configured with a system that includes a triggering mechanism that deploys one or more bags when there is a failure or when flight is no longer sustainable.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for bailing with logic ballistic parachute for special, short, complex falls in helicopters, aircrafts and land vehicles and aerial braking The invention comprises a group of principles and methods associated so that it forms a new, innovative principle, which, together bails, from falling caused by damage, helicopters, planes, objects, regardless of the external weather conditions. Uses a microcomputer (1) which actively drives the parachute deployment through logical and anticipatively commands, correlated with the status measurements from the damaged aircraft together with spatial measurements for the landing spot. The launching of the parachute is done ballisticaly with a mini-cannon (10) and then with a carrier rocket (12) for the synchronized passing between the helicopter rotor's blades. The launching is reversed, upwards, on a short half-circle route, arriving forcefully open besides the aircraft. Both planes and helicopters can be bailed. A simple non-destructive test stand can be built for invention homologation and unitary series production.
Abstract:
An impact protection apparatus (100, 200, 300) is provided, comprising a gas container (110, 210, 310) configured to hold compressed gas and an inflatable member (130, 230, 330) configured to be inflated by the gas and function as an airbag of a movable object, such as an aerial vehicle (400, 500). A valve (120, 220, 320) controls flow of gas from the container (110, 210, 310) to the inflatable member (130, 230, 330) in response to a signal from a valve controller (140, 240, 340). The valve (120, 220, 320) and valve controller (140, 240, 340) are powered by an independent power source (250, 350) than one or more other systems of the movable object. A safety mechanism (360) may also be provided that, unless deactivated, prevents inflation of the inflatable member (130, 230, 330).
Abstract:
Ein Passagierflugzeug (10) mit einer Druckkabine, die ein Kronenvolumen (13) und ein Passagierdeck (12) aufweist, wobei das Passagierdeck (12) mindestens ein durch Wände (15) von dem übrigen Passagiervolumen (16) abgetrenntes Passagierabteil (14) aufweist, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass benachbart zu der Bordwand (20) eine das Passagierabteil (14) begrenzende, sich unterhalb der Decke (19) des Passagiervolumens erstreckende Berstwand (22) angeordnet ist, wobei der Raum (23) zwischen der Berstwand (22) und der Bordwand (20) zu dem Kronenvolumen (13) hin geöffnet ist und mit diesem einen gemeinsamen Druckraum bildet.
Abstract:
An unmanned air module includes one or more rotors, engines, a transmission and avionics. Any of several different ground modules may be attached to the air module. The air module may fly with and without the ground module attached. The ground module may be a vehicle ground module and may be manned. The vehicle ground module may transport the attached air module across the ground. The air module may have two rotors, which may be ducted fans, and three different configurations: a tandem rotor configuration, a side-by-side configuration, and a tilted-rotor configuration.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a Cockpit emergency device for a crew member of an aircraft incorporating an oxygen mask with a supply housing for supplying oxygen to mouth and/or nose of the crew member and attachment means for attaching said supply housing to the head of the crew member in a position covering mouth and/or nose, respectively, further comprising a see-through-display mounted to said oxygen mask such that said see-through-display is positioned in front of one or both eyes of the crew member and a visual user interface adapted to provide visual information to the crew member via said see-through-display.
Abstract:
An aircraft area (10) comprises a door (12), a door aisle (14) and a main aisle (16). A storage cabinet (24) for emergency equipment objects is disposed adjacent to the door aisle (14) and/or the main aisle (16), and has an access point that is reachable from the door aisle (14) and/or the main aisle (16).
Abstract:
