  • Patent number: 11649034
    Abstract: A flight control surface comprising a main body comprising an upper and lower cover, upper and lower skins and a core member, a prolongation of their length over the length of the core member defining a stepped area. A trailing edge of the control surface comprises a U-shaped profile enclosing the prolongation, the U-shaped profile extending towards the main body in the chordwise direction up to the stepped area and comprising a section that progressively decreases. The trailing edge comprises a first and a second set of rivets located in the prolongation, the first set of rivets joining the upper and lower covers and the second set of rivets joining the U-shaped profile, the upper covers and the lower covers.

  • Patent number: 11407492
    Abstract: A leading edge (3) of a control surface (1) for an aircraft includes a balance weight (6) attached to the forward-most region of the leading edge (3). The control surface (1) rotates with respect to the stabilizer (2) around a hinge line (5). The balance weight (6) is ahead of and adjacent to the most frontal portion (7) of the leading edge (3) of the control surface (1) are is inside the trailing edge of the stabilizer (2). This arrangement allows to have an anti-flutter balance weight without any impact in aerodynamic drag.

  • Patent number: 11189421
    Abstract: A current sensing modular system, which allows sensing the phase current and/or the around-fault or zero-sequence current, having to that end at least a first module having at least one phase current sensor embedded therein and a second module having a zero-sequence current sensor embedded therein. The first module is independent of the second module, both modules being installed directly in the connection elements, i.e., in the connection point between at least one bushing and at least one connector of at least one grid cable.

  • Patent number: 10908185
    Abstract: The lead-in insulating device (1) of the present invention allows the passage of a live conductor (5) through a wall (18) of high-voltage electrical equipment (14), and in turn allows sensing voltage and current, for which purpose it comprises at least two electric shields (6, 7) and at least one current measurement element (12, 13), installed such that they allow detecting the presence/absence of voltage and precisely measuring the voltage and current, as well as a simple and rapid installation/removal thereof.
