Abstract: A veneer panel may include a face veneer, a first inner layer bonded to the face veneer, a second inner layer bonded to the first inner layer, and a thermally conductive layer bonded to the second inner layer. The first inner layer and the second inner layer are treated with a flame retardant. The first inner layer is disposed between the face veneer and the second inner layer, and the second inner layer is disposed between the first inner layer and the thermally conductive layer.

Abstract: A turbomachine for a vehicle is provided. The turbomachine includes a first rotatable component; a first power source operatively coupled with the first rotatable component; a second power source selectively coupled with the first rotatable component; and a controller having one or more processors and one or more memory devices, the one or more memory devices storing instructions that when executed by the one or more processors cause the one or more processors to perform operations, in performing the operations, the one or more processors are configured to: receive an input indicating an engine shutdown of the turbomachine; and in response to the engine shutdown, cause the second power source to provide power to and rotate the first rotatable component.

Abstract: A propulsion system for a vehicle (10) includes a propulsor (102) for generating a thrust for the vehicle, a motor (104) operable with the propulsor for driving the propulsor, a motor mount (164) for mounting the motor in or to the vehicle, and a thrust measuring device (172). The thrust measuring device (172) includes a strain sensor (174) mounted to a structural component of at least one of the propulsor (102), the motor (104), or the motor (164) mount for directly measuring a strain on the structural component caused by the thrust generated by the propulsor during operation of the propulsion system.

Abstract: Blade feedback systems and methods for determining a blade angle position and rotational speed of a plurality of propeller blades of a variable pitch propeller assembly are provided. Exemplary blade feedback system includes features for determining an axial position of a beta tube. Based at least in part on the axial position of the beta tube, the blade angle of the plurality of propeller blades can be determined. Exemplary blade feedback system can also include features for determining the rotational speed of the beta tube such that the rotational speed of the propeller blades can be determined.
