  • Articulated cover assembly for wing leading edge slat telescopic tube duct
    Patent number: 11713106
    Abstract: An aircraft wing is provided having a wing leading edge, a cut-out opening in the wing leading edge, a telescopic tube extending through the cut-out opening and connected to an internal duct of a wing leading edge slat to establish fluid communication with heated air associated with an aircraft anti-icing system, wherein the telescopic tube is moveable between retracted and extended conditions in response to the wing leading edge slat being moved between slat retraction and deployment positions, respectively, and a cover assembly comprising a cover member operatively connected to the telescopic tube to close the cut-out opening and allow synchronous movement of the cover member with the telescopic tube in response to the telescopic tube being moved between the retracted and extended conditions thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Shuttering mechanism for wing slat telescopic tube duct
    Patent number: 11242130
    Abstract: An aircraft wing is provided having a wing leading edge, a wing leading edge slat positioned forwardly of the wing leading edge having an internal duct extending in a spanwise direction of the wing leading edge, a cut-out opening in the wing leading edge, a telescopic tube extending through the cut-out opening and connected to the internal duct of the wing leading edge to establish fluid communication with heated air associated with an aircraft anti-icing system, wherein the telescopic tube is moveable between retracted and extended conditions in response to the wing leading edge slat being moved between slat retraction and deployment positions, respectively, and a shuttering mechanism synchronously connected to the telescopic tube to close the cut-out opening in response to the telescopic tube being moved from the retracted condition to the extended condition thereof.
