  • Publication number: 20250108926
    Abstract: An aircraft structural component having an upwardly- or downwardly-extending portion, such as a wing tip or tail fin, comprising one or more outlets for the delivery of anti-icing fluid to a first surface of the aircraft structural component. Anti-icing fluid is delivered through an outlet located at or near the tip of the upwardly-extending portion, or the base of the downwardly-extending portion. The anti-icing fluid thus delivered may, under the influence of gravity, run down the surface of the component, thereby providing the surface of the component with anti-icing fluid.

  • Publication number: 20250059677
    Abstract: A method of growing single crystal diamond assisted by polycrystalline diamond growth to enhance dimensions and quality of the single crystal diamond includes thermally mating a diamond seed on a top surface of a substrate holder providing a growth surface for a combination of single crystal diamond and polycrystalline diamond. A predetermined temperature difference between the diamond seed and the substrate holder during processing along with the plasma process conditions causes a single crystal diamond growth rate to be different from a polycrystalline growth rate by a predetermined amount. Process gasses are introduced, and a plasma is formed to grow both single crystal diamond and polycrystalline diamond on the growth surface so that the polycrystalline diamond grown adjacent to the single crystal diamond shields side surfaces of the growing single crystal diamond, thereby improving growth quality across the growing single crystal diamond.
