Patent number: 9401538Abstract: An antenna electronics attachment system is disclosed. The antenna electronics attachment system includes a structural honeycomb panel having an array of cells. The antenna electronics attachment system further includes a nutplate coupled to a mounting plate via a plurality of embedded fastening structures. The mounting plate is shaped to fit substantially precisely to a cell of the structural honeycomb panel. The antenna electronics attachment system also includes an electronic component coupled to the nutplate. And, the antenna electronics attachment system further includes mechanical-electronic coupling means operable for change-out while in-service of the electronic component.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2014Date of Patent: July 26, 2016Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Manny S. Urcia, Joseph A. Marshall, Douglas A. McCarville, Otis F. Layton, Adrian Viisoreanu

Patent number: 9045216Abstract: Vibration-damping blankets are attached to the back surfaces of fairing panels of a flight vehicle (e.g., an aircraft or spacecraft) to reduce vibration, fatigue, structure and airborne transmitted energy, and cabin noise. In one case, the flight vehicle fairing has an exterior comprising exterior surfaces of a multiplicity of removable panels. A method of retrofitting the flight vehicle with vibration-damping blankets comprises: removing a panel from the flight vehicle exterior; attaching a vibration-damping blanket to a back surface of the removed panel; and installing the panel with attached vibration-damping blanket on the flight vehicle with the exterior surface of the panel forming part of the flight vehicle exterior. In one embodiment, the vibration-damping blanket comprises polymeric (e.g., aromatic polyamide) fibers in a nonwoven structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2011Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Justin Christenson, Herbert L. Hoffman, Juhn-Shyue Lin, Gary R. Chewning, Alan Edgar Landmann, Adrian Viisoreanu, Hugh Poling, Balamurugan R. Annamalai, Justin D. Kearns, Jason Alexander Gordon

Patent number: 7871040Abstract: A composite panel structure for an aircraft includes a plurality of annular, hat-shaped frames disposed coaxially along a long axis of the aircraft in a spaced, parallel relationship, an inner skin having an inner surface bonded to an outer surface of the hat frames, a plurality of elongated, hat-shaped stringers disposed in a longitudinal direction along an outer surface of the inner skin in a spaced, parallel relationship, a solid or rigid foam offset bonded to an outer surface of each of the stringers, and an outer skin having an inner surface bonded to an upper surface of each of the offsets. The inner skin carries the loads of the structure and the outer skin defines an aerodynamic surface of the aircraft and provides impact and lighting protection. The frames, inner skin and stringers are formed on a single forming tool and cured and bonded with each other simultaneously.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2006Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Shin S. Lee, Adrian Viisoreanu, William J. Koch

Patent number: 7806365Abstract: Hydrogen powered air vehicles that in some embodiments can fly with very long endurance (10 or more days) at altitudes over 60,000 ft carrying payloads of up to 2,000 pounds. Embodiments may include features such as large wingspan relative to fuselage and an all composite or partial composite structure for light weight and strength. The aircraft of the invention use one or more internal combustion engines adapted for hydrogen combustion, each engine driving propellers. The hydrogen fuel is stored on board in containers, located within the fuselage, as a cryogenic liquid, and is vaporized in a heat exchanger before delivery to the internal combustion engine.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2006Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Gerald D. Miller, Wesley Moore, Adrian Viisoreanu, Russell W. Morris, Ronald W. Davidson, Shailesh Atreya, Albert D. Olsen, William Bigbee-Hansen
