Publication number: 20240140530Abstract: A structural assembly for an electric vehicle that includes a vehicle frame, a pair of suspension mounts and a deflector beam. The vehicle frame has a pair of longitudinal rails. The pair of suspension mounts are configured to support a vehicle suspension system. Each suspension mount is secured to a respective longitudinal rail of the pair of longitudinal rails. The deflector beam includes a body portion and opposing end portions. The body portion extends in a transverse direction relative to a longitudinal direction of the electric vehicle and is configured to support an electrical module between the pair of longitudinal rails. The deflector beam is secured to the pair of suspension mounts or the vehicle frame. Each end portion extends from the body portion to a respective location that is outboard of a respective suspension mount of the pair of suspension mounts.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Alejandro Eli Acosta Flores, Diego Eduardo Mendoza Hernández

Publication number: 20240132212Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Gonzalo Eduardo Mendoza, Corey Wailes Hagemeister, Steven Michael Klausmeyer

Publication number: 20230406484Abstract: A tandem split divergent winglet for an aircraft includes a forward sail extending from an outboard end of a wing of the aircraft having a cant angle in a first direction, and an aft sail extending partially from the forward sail and partially from the outboard end of the wing. The aft sail has a cant angle in a second direction opposite the first direction. For aircraft having a low wing, the forward sail includes an upwards cant angle and the aft sail includes a downwards cant angle. For aircraft having a high wing, the forward sail includes a downwards cant angle, and the aft sail includes an upwards cant angle. Light emitted from an integrated light formed within the aft sail is blocked from reaching a cockpit window of the aircraft by the forward sail.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Gonzalo Eduardo Mendoza, Corey Wailes Hagemeister, Kelly Ray Laflin

Patent number: 11548361Abstract: This disclosure details systems and methods for supporting and protecting vehicle underbody-mounted battery packs. An exemplary electrified vehicle may include a frame, a battery support structure mounted to the frame, and a battery pack. The battery pack is supported relative to the frame by the battery support structure but is not itself directly coupled to the frame. The battery support structure may be configured to provide an under-frame mounting configuration, cross member positioning, skid plate positioning for battery pack protection, weight optimized sub-components, unique shapes for ground clearances, etc.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: Marcela Arana, Jeffrey A.
