Abstract: Described herein is vehicle comprising a body. The vehicle also comprises a cargo door assembly, coupled to the body. The cargo door assembly comprises a first door, movable, relative to the body, between a first closed position and a first open position. The cargo door assembly also comprises a first aerodynamics control surface, coupled to the first door and selectively movable relative to the first door. The preceding subject matter of this paragraph characterizes example 1 of the present disclosure.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an aircraft anti-icing system that includes an aircraft engine inlet component, a pressurized air source, and a heat source operable to: (1) heat the leading edge of the aircraft engine inlet component via the heat source to prevent ice formation on the outer surface of the leading edge; and (2) direct pressurized air from the pressurized air source so that it forces water off of the outer surface of the inlet components (and into the external air flow) as the water travels downstream from the leading edge outer surface downstream toward the trailing edge, which prevents runback ice formation.

Abstract: A drain mast for draining liquids from an aircraft, comprising a tube that comprises an internal rim connected to the internal surface of the tube, the internal rim being located in a plane inclined with respect to the horizontal plane of the aircraft and having its lowest part located on the second end of the tube, an aperture for evacuating the liquid, the aperture being located at the lowest part of the internal rim and in the face of the tube facing the incoming airflow, the internal rim and the aperture being configured such that at the second end, the liquid is directed by gravity through the internal rim to the aperture and wherein, in use, the drained liquid flowing from the aperture is pushed by the incoming airflow to the atmosphere.

Abstract: A safety maintenance panel for a thrust reverser is provided. The thrust reverser may comprise one or more doors configured to actuate from a closed position to a deployed position. The safety maintenance panel may be located on the thrust reverser. The safety maintenance panel may comprise a safety pin configured to engage the door in the deployed position to at least partially limit movement of the door from the deployed position. In that respect, the safety pin may be inserted into a panel pin hole through the maintenance panel and a door pin hole through the door to lock the door into the deployed position.

Abstract: The media-circulation type pulverizer comprising: an agitating member disposed in a lower region of a pulverization chamber; an annular partition wall disposed to extend upwardly in the pulverization chamber; and a media guide member provided on a lower surface of the end plate of the agitating member, wherein the annular partition wall has a height set to be ? to ? of a height of the pulverization chamber, and the media guide member has a lower end which enters a space of the inner region of the pulverization chamber located inside the annular partition wall, and wherein a vertically-extending flow straightening blade is provided between said lower portion of the media guide member and an upper portion of the annular partition wall, and the media separation member is provided on the lower end of the lower portion of the media guide member.

Abstract: A propulsion and lift system of a tiltrotor aircraft includes a wing having an outboard end, a wing tip assembly having an inboard end, a fixed nacelle coupled to the wing tip assembly and a wing-nacelle splice assembly having inboard and outboard sides. The inboard side of the wing-nacelle splice assembly is coupled to the outboard end of the wing, and the outboard side of the wing-nacelle splice assembly is coupled to the inboard end of the wing tip assembly, thereby coupling the fixed nacelle to the wing.

Abstract: A pill crushing device pulverizes pills and then transfers the pulverized pills out of the device with minimal transfer loss and spillage. The device includes a pill chamber and may include a storage portion. The pill chamber forms a threaded connection with the storage portion that enables detachment. The storage portion stores the pill and operates the crushing mechanism. The pill is pulverized in the pill chamber. The pill chamber is disposed beneath the storage portion. A first spoon retains the pill and carries the pulverized pill out of the chamber along a longitudinal opening of the pill chamber. An optional second spoon detachably attaches to the first spoon to carry supplemental compositions to the pulverized pill.
