Abstract: A viewing device for an aircraft includes an image receiver adapted to receive an image of a predetermined spatial area of an exterior of an aircraft, an image projector adapted to display the image of the predetermined spatial area, and an image conduit connecting the image receiver to the image projector. The image receiver is adapted to be positioned on an exterior side of the aircraft below a lateral width of a fuselage of the aircraft while the image projector is adapted to be positioned on an interior side of the aircraft above the lateral width of the fuselage of the aircraft. The image projector is adapted to be positioned at a first predetermined height above a floor on the interior side of the aircraft, consistent with a person's eye level. The image projector is separated from the image receiver by a first predetermined distance.

Abstract: A bias gain system for aircraft rudder comprises a pair of connector ends receiving an actuation force from a bias actuator. A rudder bar interface is positioned between the connector ends. The interface rotates about the rudder bar as a function of the actuation forces from the bias actuators. A mechanism comprises links and joints between the connector ends and the rudder bar is actuatable between a contracted configuration, in which first moment arms are defined between the connector ends and the rudder bar interface, and an expanded gain configuration, in which second moment arms have a greater dimension than the first moment arms. An actuator is connected to the mechanism to actuate the mechanism to actuate the mechanism independently from the actuation forces from the bias actuators, to move the mechanism between configurations. An aircraft and a method for controlling a torque on a rudder bar of an aircraft are also provided.

Abstract: An anti-skid brake control system for a multi-wheeled vehicle includes both a paired function and an individual function. The paired function controls the wheels of the vehicle in unison. The individual function controls the wheels of the vehicle individually. A paired/individual logic circuit alternatively activates and deactivates the paired function and the individual function. A method for controlling the skid of a vehicle utilizing a paired function and a individual function is also provided.
