Abstract: An electric aircraft includes a forward wing and an aft wing both located on a top side of a fuselage and both having an upward dihedral angle. The forward wing has a straight or slightly forward-swept leading edge. The aft wing has a swept leading edge. A plurality of propeller engines are located on a leading-edge side of the forward wing. A single propeller engine may be located on a top side of an aft end of the fuselage; alternatively, a plurality of propeller engines are located on the aft wing on either its leading or trailing edge. The propeller engines are each powered by an electric motor. An unobstructed cargo door is located on a side of the fuselage, aft of the forward wing.

Abstract: A doorway side guide system includes a base mechanically coupled with a bottom portion of a doorway. A mounting member is rotatably coupled to the base via a hinge for rotating between a deployed position and a stowed position. A contact member is mechanically coupled with the mounting member via a pivot such that the contact member is configured to rotate about the pivot. The contact member extends outside of the doorway in the deployed position for guiding cargo through the doorway and for protecting a doorframe of the doorway.

Abstract: A system and method for unlatching an aircraft door is disclosed. The system includes a latch pin design which enables retraction of the pin in the event the ordinary unlatching mechanical systems fail. The system includes the use of a rod that is reversely threaded on each side. Rotation of the rod either extends or retracts the pin.

Abstract: A fixture configured to secure a component in a vehicle includes a panel separating an internal cabin from an external compartment. The panel has a first side facing the internal cabin and a second side facing the external compartment. A hole is disposed within the panel. The component is configured for mounting to the panel via the hole. The component includes a flange configured for abutting the first side of the panel and a coupling feature configured to extend through the hole into the external compartment. A fastener is configured to removably couple with the coupling feature and abut the second side of the panel for fastening the component to the panel.

Abstract: A flag mechanism for an aircraft door includes a first arm and a second arm each having a flag on a first end and a catch on a second end. A first cam is operatively coupled to a first latching member and a second cam is operatively coupled a second latching member. The first and second latching members are each configured for latching the aircraft door, which are locked when the first and second cams are rotated to a locked position. A first stud extends from a side of the first cam and a second stud extends from a side of the second cam. The first and second studs are each configured to be received by a respective catch of the first and second arms while the first and second cams are rotated, thereby moving each respective flag from a first position to a second position for simultaneous visual inspection.

Abstract: An automatic aircraft powerplant control system includes a throttle servo for adjusting a throttle valve via a throttle control linkage. A throttle control lever provides a user input to the throttle servo, and a throttle controller controls the throttle servo for controlling a throttle valve. A propeller servo may be provided for adjusting a propeller governor setting of an engine. A propeller control lever provides a user input to the propeller servo, and a propeller controller controls the propeller servo. A full-authority digital engine control (FADEC) controller is used to automatically control mixing of fuel and air via a fuel-air mixture device. The FADEC controller may be used to automatically provide propeller control.

Abstract: An oil level measurement system for an aircraft engine includes a magnetic float disposed in the aircraft engine, a first sensor ladder configured for sensing a position of the magnetic float, and a second sensor ladder configured for sensing a position of the magnetic float. A controller is configured to determine an oil level of an engine based on an engine status signal, a first signal from the first sensor ladder, and a second signal from the second sensor ladder. An oil level sensing method for measuring an oil level within an aircraft engine when the aircraft engine is off includes comparing a first signal from a first sensor ladder with a second signal from a second sensor ladder, indicating a fault when the first signal is different from the second signal, and determining an oil level of an aircraft engine when the first signal matches the second signal.

Abstract: An electric temperature control system for unpressurized aircraft and methods for operating are disclosed. The electric temperature control system may be electrically powered and used on all-electric aircraft or hybrid aircraft. The electric temperature control system may comprise a vapor cycle cooling system for cooling air and an electric heater for heating air. The electric heater may be a PTC electric heater with individually-controllable heating elements. Various input devices may be disposed in the aircraft allowing an operator to set a compartment temperature, an air source, and a fan speed. A controller controls operations of the electric temperature control system based on feedback received from a plurality of feedback devices and the operator inputs.

Abstract: A robotic self-learning visual inspection method includes determining if a fixture on a component is known by searching a database of known fixtures. If the fixture is unknown, a robotic self-programming visually learning process is performed that includes determining one or more features of the fixture and providing information via a controller about the one or more features in the database such that the fixture becomes known. When the fixture is known, a robotic self-programming visual inspection process is performed that includes determining if the one or more features each pass an inspection based on predetermined criteria. A robotic self-programming visual inspection system includes a robot having one or more arms each adapted for attaching one or more instruments and tools. The instruments and tools are adapted for performing visual inspection processes.
