Patent number: 11834192Abstract: A variety of refueling devices, systems and methods are disclosed for use in in-flight refueling. In one example one such device is towed by a tanker aircraft via a fuel hose at least during in-flight refueling, and has a boom member with a boom axis. The boom member enables fuel to be transferred from the fuel hose to a receiver aircraft along the boom axis during in-flight refueling. The device maintains a desired non-zero angular disposition between the boom axis and a forward direction at least when the refueling device is towed by the tanker aircraft in the forward direction via the fuel hose.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Ohad Rix, Joshua Gur, Michael Litvak, Elie Koskas

Patent number: 11518495Abstract: A composite structural member including at least one first flange element made from a first composite material, and at least one first web element made from a second composite material. The at least one first web element is connected to at least one first flange element in a non-coplanar manner along a corresponding mutual first edge via a first corner element made from a third composite material, the mutual first edge extending along a first direction. The third composite material includes a corresponding first plurality of third composite material first fibers and a corresponding second plurality of third composite material second fibers embedded in a corresponding third composite material matrix in a non-parallel orientation with respect to the third composite material first fibers, wherein the third composite material first fibers are nominally orthogonal to the mutual first edge or to the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2019Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: ISRAEL AEROSPACE INDUSTRIES LTD.Inventors: Elie Koskas, Victor Weissberg

Publication number: 20220289358Abstract: There is provided a composite structure for an aerodynamic component having an aerofoil-like cross-section and a leading edge, the composite structure being in the form of a torsion box arrangement made from composite materials and having a core, the torsion box having a forward wall, an aft wall, a top wall and a bottom wall, together defining the core, the front wall being formed as the leading edge of the aerodynamic component. Also provided is a load-bearing composite structure for use with an aerodynamic component and configured for supporting at least one external load, this composite structure being made from composite materials and configured for being joined to the external aerodynamic surface of the aerodynamic component such as to be in overlying abutting relationship with at least a contact surface portion of the external aerodynamic surface, including the leading edge, at least a forward portion of each of the suction surface and the pressure surface thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2020Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Victor WEISSBERG, Barak MAGEN, Elie KOSKAS
