Abstract: An electric machine stator includes a cylindrical core, windings, a plurality of terminal plates, a plurality of parallel lead wire pairs. The cylindrical core extends axially between a front surface and a back surface. The windings have multiple phases and are disposed radially along the core. Each of the pairs of parallel lead wires extend axially between the front surface and one of the terminal plates. Each of the pairs of parallel lead wires electrically connects one of the terminal plates to one phase of the windings.

Abstract: An aircraft operable between a deployed position and a stowed position is disclosed. The aircraft includes a fuselage, a pair of wing segments, and a translation and rotation mechanism for attaching the wing segments to the fuselage. The mechanism includes an upper assembly having an outer shaft and an inner shaft. A first wing segment is attached to the outer shaft and a second wing segment is attached to the inner shaft. The outer shaft translates downward with respect to the inner shaft. Thereafter, the outer and inner shafts rotate in opposite directions in order to rotate the wing segments on top of one another, parallel to a long axis of the fuselage, and into the stowed position. The operation of the outer and inner shafts is reversed in order to return the wing segments to the deployed position.
