Abstract: A method includes emitting scanned reference laser light from a first tunable laser into a first atomic vapor filter to output filtered scanned reference laser light and receiving the filtered reference laser light with a first detector. The method includes emitting scanned outgoing signal laser light from a second tunable laser into an atmospheric space, receiving a return of the scanned signal laser light from Doppler shifted scattering from the atmospheric space into a second atomic vapor filter to output Doppler shifted filtered scanned signal laser light, and receiving the Doppler shifted filtered scanned signal laser laser light with a second detector. Each tunable laser wavelength scan is controlled independently using information from the wavelength scan received at the associated detector to maintain the center of the wavelength scan received at the detector as the bottom of an atomic absorption well. Velocity is determined using the Doppler shift of the light collected from atmospheric space as measured by the wavelength difference between the center wavelength of the scanned reference laser and the center wavelength of the scanned outgoing signal laser light which is transmitted into the atmosphere.

Abstract: A stress-sensitive device includes a substrate having a first surface with a cavity defined therein and a three-dimensional deformable material extending along the first surface and into the cavity. The three-dimensional deformable material has an electrical characteristic responsive to deformation. A method of forming a three-dimensional stress-sensitive device includes providing a substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, forming a cavity in the substrate, wherein the cavity is open to the first surface, depositing a sacrificial layer in the cavity, depositing a deformable material on the sacrificial layer, and removing at least a portion of the sacrificial layer to form an interstitial space between the deformable material and the substrate in the cavity.

Abstract: A system includes an optical ice detection (OID) sub-system optically coupled to light collection optics. A water vapor differential absorption LIDAR (WV-DIAL) sub-system is optically coupled to the OID laser source or light collection optics. The OID sub-system and the WV-DIAL sub-system share at least a portion of an optical path of the light source or through the light collection optics. The OID sub-system, the WV-DIAL sub-system, and the illumination and light collection optics can all be aboard an aircraft. A method includes using a set of illumination and light collection optics aboard an aircraft to obtain data indicative of optical ice detection (OID) and water vapor differential absorption LIDAR (WV-DIAL), e.g. to detect contrail forming conditions for the aircraft and/or predict persistence of contrails from the aircraft.

Abstract: A sensor includes an airfoil body, a heater element, and a temperature probe. The airfoil body defines a sensor axis and having a leading edge, a trailing edge, and an ice accretion feature. The heater element extends axially through the airfoil body between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the airfoil body. The temperature probe extends axially through the airfoil body between the heater element and the trailing edge of the airfoil body. The heater element is axially overlapped by the ice accretion feature to accrete ice chordwise forward of a tip surface aperture. Gas turbine engines, methods of making sensors, and methods of accreting ice on sensors are also described.

Abstract: A pitot tube includes an outer tube extending from a first tube end to second tube end. The second tube end defines a tip portion of the pitot tube. A tube sleeve is located inside of the outer tube and defines a tube passage extending from the first tube end to the second tube end. A heating element is located between the outer tube and the tube sleeve. The heating element is isolated from airflow into the tube passage. A method of forming a pitot tube includes installing a heating element to an outer surface of a tube sleeve, the tube sleeve defining a tube passage of the pitot tube. The tube sleeve is secured in an outer tube such that the heating element is between the tube sleeve and the outer tube and is isolated from airflow through the tube passage.

Abstract: A camera with a field of view toward an external environment of an aircraft is disposed within an aircraft door such that an engine inlet of an engine of the aircraft is within the field of view of the camera. A display device is disposed within an interior of the aircraft. A processor is operatively coupled to the camera and to the display device. The processor analyzes image data captured by the camera to determine whether persons or foreign objects are present near the engine inlet, or detect damage or deformation of the engine inlet.

Abstract: A doppler lidar system includes an acousto-optic modulator. The acousto-optic modulator frequency shifts light to simulate a Doppler effect of a target without moving the target relative to a transceiver. A detector detects a frequency. One or more processors then calibrate the doppler lidar system based on the detected frequency. The acousto-optic modulator is then decoupled to return the doppler lidar system to a normal operating condition. The acousto-optic modulator is coupled in a transmit path or a receive path of the doppler lidar system.
