Abstract: A bi-directional flight control surface mechanism comprises a fixed part V of a vertical stabilizer having leading and trailing edges and a rudder having leading and trailing edges. The rudder is mounted relative to the fixed part of the vertical stabilizer so that the trailing edge of the fixed structure is adjacent the leading edge of the rudder. The rudder is movable from a neutral position in which the rudder lies in line with the fixed part of the vertical stabilizer to define a notional centerline to first and second angled positions in which the rudder is angled relative to the fixed part of the vertical stabilizer at a non-zero angle on one or other side of the notional centerline. An actuator is provided to drive the rudder relative to the fixed part of the vertical stabilizer so as to vary the distance between said part of the trailing edge of the fixed part of the vertical stabilizer and the leading edge of the rudder.

Abstract: A fluid bearing structure with uniform depths of bearing concaves and a method of forming the bearing concaves in the fluid bearing structure. Pipe parts are inserted into through holes formed in the bearing base to form fluid spout holes for spouting fluid between confronting bearing surfaces. Bearing concaves are formed around the fluid spout holes. The bearing base and the pipe parts are made of different materials. A coating layer is formed on the bearing base and the pipe parts by an anodic oxidation process. Thickness of the coating layer on the bearing base is different from thickness of the coating layer on the pipe parts since the base member and the pipe members are made of different materials. The material on which a coating layer grows quickly is selected for the bearing base and the material on which a coating layer grows slowly is selected for the pipe parts.

Abstract: A system indicating to a pilot that an aircraft has passed the limit-point of success of a standard vertical avoidance maneuver is disclosed. To determine the limit-point, the system monitors a penetration of a model of the terrain being flown over into a first protection volume linked to the aircraft and configured so as to model a standard vertical avoidance maneuver path executed without delay. To determine disengagement azimuth sectors, the system monitors the penetrations of the model of the terrain being flown over into a second protection volume with large azimuth aperture, linked to the aircraft and configured so as to contain the limit-point protection volume and, for the various azimuths covered, paths of a composite maneuver beginning with change-of-heading maneuvers with which to reach the azimuth concerned and continuing with the standard terrain vertical avoidance maneuver.
