  • Transformable obstacle assembly
    Patent number: 9302174
    Abstract: A transformable obstacle assembly is described. Embodiments of the transformable obstacle assembly include a dual rail structure and a pair of support structures. Typically, the dual rail structure can include a first rail, a second rail, a plurality of ribs, and a pair of panels. The plurality of ribs can be implemented to couple the first rail to the second rail. To elevate the dual rail structure of the ground, the pair of support structures can be coupled to opposite ends of the dual rail structure. In one embodiment, a height of the support structures can be altered to raise and lower the dual rail structure. Typically, the dual rail structure can be implemented in either a horizontal orientation or a vertical orientation.

  • Morphing wing leading edge
    Patent number: 8925870
    Abstract: A wing may include a flexible leading edge skin segment having segment ends positioned adjacent to upper and lower leading edge wing skins to form a skin assembly. The upper leading edge wing skin may be positioned between the leading edge skin segment and an upper main wing skin. The lower leading edge wing skin may be positioned between the leading edge skin segment and a lower main wing skin. The wing may include a deployment device configured to flex the upper and lower leading edge wing skins thereby causing the leading edge skin segment to exhibit a rolling motion.
