Abstract: An aircraft cabin pressure control system outflow thrust recovery valve includes a frame, a valve element, and actuation hardware. The frame, valve element, and at least a portion of the actuation hardware are made of composite material. The actuation hardware is disposed external to the frame.

Abstract: An aircraft cabin pressure control system outflow valve includes a frame, a valve element, and a position sensor. The frame is configured to be mounted on an aircraft exterior skin. The valve element is rotationally coupled to the frame, and is coupled to receive an actuation drive force. The valve element is responsive to the actuation drive force to rotate to a position between a closed position and a plurality of open positions. The position sensor is coupled to the frame and is configured to directly sense rotation of the valve element and supply a position signal representative of valve element position.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided for activating switches in a leading edge flap drive actuator. The apparatus comprises a mount plate having at least a first side, a second side, and an outer peripheral surface, an actuator arm rotationally coupled to the mount plate and rotationally moveable between at least an activate position and a deactivate position, and a spring arm coupled to the mount plate and extending away from the mount plate outer perpheral surface, the spring arm configured to supply a force that biases the actuator arm toward the deactivate position at least when the actuator arm is in the activate position.

Abstract: A detachable stabilized intermodal container dumping apparatus for removable mounting on an intermodal container transport vehicle includes a container support frame having forward and rearward ends, a lower frame section and an upper frame section. The upper frame section is constructed of at least two upper section long sill members and at least two upper section crossbeam members mounted on the upper section long sill members. The lower frame section is constructed of at least two lower section long sill members and at least two lower section crossbeam members mounted on the lower section long sill members. The upper frame section is hingedly connected to the lower frame section adjacent the rearward end of the container support frame along a hinge pivot axis extending generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the container support frame such that the upper frame section may pivot relative to the lower frame section, thus permitting dumping of an intermodal container situated thereon.
