Patent number: 11939039Abstract: An aircraft door drainage system includes a precipitation receptacle disposed longitudinally along an upper edge of an aircraft door opening. The receptacle is mounted along the upper edge of the door opening by a plurality of brackets that connect the receptacle to an inside ceiling panel of the aircraft. The receptacle protrudes outward from the upper edge of the door opening into a path followed by precipitation falling off of an outer peripheral surface of a fuselage of the aircraft from locations above, forward, and aft of the door opening into the door opening when the aircraft door is in an open position. The receptacle remains clear of the aircraft door when the aircraft door is closed into the door opening. Drain hoses are connected at first and second ends of the receptacle to direct precipitation collected in the receptacle to an outside of the aircraft.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: FEDERAL EXPRESS CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew Alan Arnold, Brittany M. Govan, Muhammad Jamal, Danny Jay Reed, Ronald Wayne Thomas, John Alan Yerger

Patent number: 11715380Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving aircraft transponder signals. Identifying, from among the aircraft transponder signals, a first aircraft transponders signal based on an identifier, wherein the identifier indicates that the first aircraft transponder signal is associated with an aircraft on which the computing system is located. Identifying first location data within the first aircraft transponder signal. Generating second location data by converting the first location data to a format recognizable by a geographic mapping application, where the second location data is readable by the geographic mapping application to permit the geographic mapping application to present a graphical representation of a geographical location of the aircraft as represented by the first location data. Providing the second location data to the geographic mapping application for presentation to a user.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2022Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Federal Express CorporationInventors: Robert Anthony Donhoffner, Bennett Michael Wetherald, Danny Jay Reed
