  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10435180
    Abstract: A device for adjusting the position of structural elements of a structure of an aircraft, comprising a measurement tool for determining a value for the actual position of each structural element, a processing and calculation system for comparing each value of the actual position determined by the analysis system with a corresponding theoretical value, and for determining therefrom an adjustment value, an adjustment tool configured to be attached in use to a structural element, comprising at least one measurement sensor configured to measure a distance between the measurement sensor and the structural element, a calculator for comparing the value measured by the measurement sensor with the corresponding adjustment value, and for deriving therefrom corrective actions to finalize adjustment of the structural element, and a communication system for exchanging information between the adjustment tool and the processing and calculation system.
