  • Method for positioning a ram air turbine of an aircraft during its assembly
    Patent number: 11981448
    Abstract: A method for positioning a ram air turbine during its assembly on a primary structure of an aircraft. The method includes the steps of: placing a first distance sensor on a first element among a first flap and the ram air turbine, a second distance sensor on a second element among a second flap and the ram air turbine, the first and second distance sensors being configured to respectively emit first and second signals corresponding to measured values over time of a distance between each of the first and second distance sensors and at least one mobile target attached to the ram air turbine or the first and second flap, pivoting the mast between the retracted and deployed positions, analyzing the first and second signals, and, if necessary, repositioning the ram air turbine according to the step of analyzing the first and second signals.
