  • Aircraft cabin air management system
    Patent number: 11987366
    Abstract: The present disclosure makes use of the fact that passengers have ways of adjusting the temperature in their immediate environment or indicating their level of comfort or discomfort and uses information about the passengers' use of the temperature control capabilities in their immediate environment and/or indications of their level of comfort/discomfort as an input to a controller of an environmental control system (ECS) to automatically adjust the ECS supply air temperature set point.

  • Brake wear pin architecture
    Patent number: 11965569
    Abstract: An architecture that provides automatic monitoring of brake conditions making use of a wear pin on a brake. The disclosure makes use of the fact that a wear pin is required to be provided on an aircraft brake, by integrating monitoring functions such as displacement sensors and/or temperature sensors, into the pin. This means that the automatic monitoring components are not taking up more space on the brake than is already taken up by the compulsory wear pin.
