Abstract: An aircraft has a fuselage and a pair of wings joined to the fuselage at a dihedral angle. A wing extension, such as an angled winglet or a wing-tip pod, is joined to a distal end of each of the wings. A top-surface antenna lies in each of the top surfaces, and a bottom-surface antenna lies in each of the bottom surfaces. The antennas are preferably flat-panel antennas such as phased-array antennas.

Abstract: A rising table assembly including an extension assembly and tabletop. The table may be stowable beneath a floor surface. The table assembly is typically extendible through an opening in the floor surface to a position above the floor. A set of closure doors may be provided to act as a floor surface when the table assembly is in stowed position beneath the floor. The table assembly is particularly suitable for use in vehicles such as aircraft, trains, motor homes, or boats. The table assembly may be of use in other situations where space is a premium.
