  • Publication number: 20250248506
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a sporting goods equipment bag with a unique, user-friendly storage and retrieval mechanism. The bag enables players to quickly and easily access balls. The bag has one or more external access panels which cover one or more bag apertures. A bag aperture enables a user to access the interior contents of the bag. An internal ball sleeve is attached to the interior surface of the bag. The user may insert balls into the sleeve compartment through the sleeve opening. The sleeve opening is positioned near the bag aperture such that a user may reach through the bag aperture into the ball sleeve. Thus, a user may easily open the access panel, reach through the bag aperture, and retrieve a ball. This design simplifies the process of storing and retrieving balls, improving user convenience.

  • Publication number: 20250250012
    Abstract: An armored seating assembly for a rotorcraft or other aircraft (e.g., for a pilot or operator) includes a wing armor panel capable of rotational and vertical movement relative to the seat base when adjusted by the operator. For example, a carriage attached to the armor panel translates along a carriage slot in the seat base, stabilized in the carriage slot by orthogonal sets of bearings (e.g., lateral bearings and longitudinal bearings) and allowing the wing armor panel to be vertically adjusted relative to the seat base (e.g., to accommodate pilots of varying heights). The armor panel is coupled to the carriage by hinges allowing the panel to pivot or rotate away from the seat base, in order to facilitate entry to and egress from the seat.

  • Publication number: 20250250018
    Abstract: An aircraft including at least one engine attachment system, connecting an engine and a primary structure, which includes a central body and at least first right and left extensions positioned on either side of the central body in a first transverse plane, connected to the latter and stiffened by other right and left extensions and reinforcements. The engine attachment system includes at least three connections each including an anchoring point rigidly secured to the engine, the anchoring points of the various connections being located approximately in the same transverse plane. This solution makes it possible to reduce stresses in the engine, in particular torsional and/or bending stresses, produced as a result of the transfer of the forces between the engine and the primary structure.

  • Publication number: 20250250024
    Abstract: A system and method of determining emissions for an aircraft with a turbine engine for a flight mission includes receiving a control data input. The control data input can receive a quality check, and then be projected to different power levels for completion of the flight mission. The projection to different power levels can receive another quality check. The system and method generate an emissions index based on the control data input projected to different power levels representing emissions for completion of the flight mission.

  • Publication number: 20250250027
    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, using at least one processing device, real-time information associated with operation of an aircraft from one or more sensors of the aircraft. The method also includes obtaining, using the at least one processing device, additional information associated with the aircraft, where at least some of the additional information is associated with limited lifetime parts of the aircraft. The method further includes processing, using the at least one processing device, the real-time information and the additional information to generate a determination whether one or more engines of the aircraft should continue running or should be shut down and subsequently restarted. In addition, the method includes generating, using the at least one processing device, at least one output identifying how to operate the one or more engines of the aircraft based on the determination.

  • Publication number: 20250250105
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for measuring the deformation in a floating-roof seal assembly. A fiber optic cable is attached along its length to the floating-roof seal assembly such that the fiber optic cable is deformed when the floating-roof seal assembly is deformed. Deformation of the fiber optic cable and the seal assembly can be determined based on how the light interacts with the fiber optic cable. This helps allow tanks with a floating roof to be monitored.
