    Abstract: An angle of attack sensor includes a housing, a heated chassis positioned at least partially within the housing and defining a pocket, a mounting plate positioned adjacent the heated chassis and having a circular opening, an external surface facing away from the housing, and an internal surface facing toward the housing, and a vane assembly extending through the circular opening of the mounting plate. The vane assembly includes a vane extending from a root to a tip and a vane base connected to the root of the vane and positioned within the pocket of the heated chassis such that the vane base is offset inwardly from the external surface toward the housing.

    Abstract: Camera systems of an aircraft include an image sensor configured to capture image data and one or more processors. The one or more processors configured to determine at least one image property of the captured image data; evaluate whether the at least one image property is within an acceptable range; and output, in response to the at least one image property being outside the acceptable range, a lighting command configured to adjust light provided by a lighting system of the aircraft.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to controlling, based on a mode selector, the field of view of an external object detector during aircraft taxi operations. For example, during high-speed taxi operations, the field of view can be controlled to have a relatively-small solid-angle of detection capability. The relatively-small solid-angle field of view can be aligned so as to detect more distant objects within a narrow corridor extending forward of the aircraft's wingtips. During low-speed taxi operations, for example, the field of view can be controlled to have a relatively-large solid-angle of detection capability. The relatively-large solid-angle field of view can be aligned so as to detect close objects in the vicinity of the aircraft wings and engine nacelle. The object detector projects structured light within the controlled field of view, thereby illuminating the object(s) external to the aircraft that are within the illumination field of view.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to displaying an image of a taxiing aircraft in relation to objects in a surrounding environment. A first data set indicative of locations, relative to the taxiing aircraft, of objects external to the taxiing aircraft is collected. Then, image data of a map of an area external to and including the taxiing aircraft is formed. Symbols of the objects external to the aircraft at the locations, relative to the taxiing aircraft, indicated by the first data set are mapping into the image data. The image data is then sent to a display device for displaying the image data to a pilot of the taxiing aircraft. Displaying a map indicating the relative location of external objects with which the taxiing aircraft could potentially collide advantageously assists the pilot in taxi operation.

    Abstract: A circuit card assembly includes a first printed wiring board with a first receiving feature and a trace attached to the first printed wiring board. The three dimensional trace is formed by layer-by-layer additive manufacturing. The three dimensional trace includes first and second ends. The first end of the three dimensional trace engages with the first receiving feature of the first printed wiring board. The second end of the three dimensional trace is configured to engage with a second printed wiring board.
