  • External case heater for an angle of attack sensor
    Patent number: 9884685
    Abstract: A heating apparatus for use in an AoA sensor is described herein. The heating apparatus includes a heating element bonded to a support element. The support element is configured to be attachable to and removable from the AoA sensor. The heating element may receive an electrical current, causing the temperature of the heating element to increase. The temperature increase is designed to reduce the probability that ice forms in certain locations of the AoA sensor.

  • Integrated cockpit door lock and access system
    Patent number: 6830217
    Abstract: An electromechanical flight deck door locking system capable of functioning to keep a cockpit door locked in the event of an interruption in electrical power to the system. The flight deck door locking system includes a locking assembly including a locking component and a manually graspable handle for displacing the locking component. Further, the locking system includes an electronic control panel configured to receive data from an individual seeking access to the cockpit and for electrically locking and unlocking the locking assembly. The locking system also includes a mechanical locking assembly, such as a key lock, whereby a user can use a key to lock and unlock the door if electrical power to the system is unavailable.
