Pilar Vela Orge has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • System for increasing controllability for an aircraft
    Patent number: 9079655
    Abstract: The system includes deflection transmission means (16) to provide a deflection position of the high-lift device (8) for each setting angle position of an adjustable HTP (2). Preferably, the deflection transmission means (18,20,23) comprise essentially of a mechanical linkage connected between the high-lift device (8) and the aircraft (1).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 8, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2015
    Assignee: Airbus Operations, S.L.
    Inventors: Pilar Vela Orge, Arnaud Namer, Angel Pascual Fuertes, Francisco Javier Simon Calero
  • Wind tunnel aircraft model with truncated wing
    Patent number: 8453964
    Abstract: An aircraft model for testing in a wind tunnel of width W including a fuselage, a truncated wing whose length L1 is less than the length L of a full scaled wing and additional components in the rear of the aircraft as, in particular, a horizontal tail plane, that produces the same downwash that arrives to the additional components as in a full scaled model. The shape of the truncated wing may be designed for having a similar lift distribution to the lift distribution of a full scaled wing along at least the maximum length L2 in the Y-axis of any component in the rear of the aircraft. The invention also relates to a method for designing the truncated wing.

  • WIND TUNNEL AIRCRAFT MODEL WITH TRUNCATED WING
    Publication number: 20110106503
    Abstract: An aircraft model (17) for testing in a wind tunnel (11) of width W comprising a fuselage (21), a truncated wing (25) whose length L1 is lesser than the length L of a full scaled wing (23) and additional components in the rear aircraft as, in particular, an horizontal tail plane (29), that produces the same downwash arriving to said additional components than in a full scaled model. The shape of said truncated wing (25) may be designed for having a similar lift distribution (35) to the lift distribution (37) of a full scaled wing (23) along at least the maximum length L2 in the Y-axis of any component in the rear aircraft. The invention also relates to a method for designing said truncated wing (25).
