  • Method and system for aligning propulsion system and vehicle having such propulsion alignment
    Patent number: 11485505
    Abstract: An aircraft (10) is described as including a reference axis extending along at least a portion of the aircraft, and a propulsion system having a thrust vector feature (43) defining generally a direction of thrust of the turbofan engine (18), the thrust vector feature (43) extending relative to a thrust vector axis, where the turbofan engine (18) is disposed on the aircraft with the thrust vector feature (43) oriented with respect to the reference axis of the aircraft.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 27, 2016
    Date of Patent: November 1, 2022

  • Reshaping of deformed components for assembly
    Patent number: 10509388
    Abstract: There is described a method and system for reshaping a component for assembly that may have been deformed pre-assembly and post-fabrication. As-fabricated measurements are used to determine a baseline for the component and as-mounted measurements are used to determine a deformation parameter as a function of the baseline. The component may be reshaped using correction displacements applied to a positioning device of an assembly tool to which the component is mounted for assembly.
