  • Deformable wing including a mobile upper surface
    Patent number: 9856013
    Abstract: Morphing aircraft wing with a mobile upper surface comprising a double skinning on the upper surface of the wing wherein one of the skinnings corresponds to the leading edge and the other corresponds to the trailing edge and they overlap in the central area of the wing with the possibility of relative displacement between the two skinnings and they extend in the direction of the chord of the wing profile, the wing comprises actuators that are positioned on the main wing spars and which exert a reaction force against said spars when they exert the force required to morph the wing displacing the skinnings in the direction of the chord of the profile to the configuration of low speed flight, take-off and landing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 13, 2013

  • Conflict detection and resolution using predicted aircraft trajectories
    Patent number: 9087452
    Abstract: A method of detecting conflicts between aircraft passing through managed airspace, and to resolving the detected conflicts strategically. The method may include obtaining intended trajectories of aircraft through the airspace and time constraints corresponding to time of arrival at specified locations, detecting conflicts in the intended trajectories, forming a set of the conflicted aircraft, calculating one or more revised trajectories for the conflicted aircraft such that the conflicts are resolved and the time constraints met, and advising the conflicted aircraft subject to revised trajectories of the revised trajectories.
