Patent number: 8733689Abstract: A device provides electrical continuity between aeronautical components including a first fixed component and a second component displaceable with respect to the first component. The first and second components include electrically conducting surfaces. A first conductive piece is fixed to the first component and a second conductive piece is fixed to the second component. The first and second pieces are joined together with the possibility of sliding one on the other, in such a way that the first piece is connected to the conductive surface of the first component and the second piece is connected to the conductive surface of the second component, so that, when displacements take place of the second component with respect to the first component, the first piece slides on the second piece maintaining the electrical conductivity between the first and second components.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Airbus Operations, S.L.Inventors: Vicente Martínez Valdegrama, José Luis Lozano García, Gonzalo Ramírez Blanco

Patent number: 8091829Abstract: A lifting structure for aircraft is essentially applicable to a horizontal stabilizer that includes two side symmetrical boxes that converge at one end (its root) thereof in a shared center area in order to connect integrally in the central area. Both boxes connect by a single part that constitutes a center rib with a double T-shaped profile. The root of the side boxes overlap converging on the inside surfaces of the wings of the center rib. The connection is ensured with rivets (lap joint). The proposed connection simplifies the assembly process (single part) and lead to a weight reduction since a carbon fiber connecting rib can be used.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2008Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Airbus Operations, S.L.Inventors: Gonzalo Ramírez Blanco, Daniel Barroso Vloedgraven, Jose Luis Lozano García, Miguel Luque Buzo

Publication number: 20110184704Abstract: Fairing (9) which closes the internal end of an elevator (3) of an aircraft with respect to the fuselage section (1) on which the fairing (9) moves, with the elevator (3) arranged on a horizontal stabiliser (2) of the aircraft, such that the horizontal stabiliser (2) moves with a trim angle (?) with respect to the fuselage section (1) in turn rotating the elevator (3) with an elevator angle (?) with respect to the horizontal stabiliser (2), with the fairing (9) maintaining a distance (6) with respect to the fuselage section (1) during its movement in which the distance (6) is a minimised distance for all movement ranges of the elevator (3) for the trim angle (?) of the horizontal stabiliser (2) and the elevator angle (?) of the elevator (3), thereby reducing aerodynamic losses through parasitic resistance which is not caused by support of the aircraft. A method for obtaining the design of the fairing (9) is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2010Publication date: July 28, 2011Inventors: Vicente Martinez Valdegrama, Gonzalo Ramirez Blanco
