Abstract: A no-back brake system for an actuator includes a ball ramp mechanism. A drag brake assembly is configured to be coupled to a first portion of the ball ramp mechanism. A main brake assembly is configured to be coupled to an actuator and a second portion of the ball ramp mechanism. A limited authority damper assembly is disposed between the drag brake assembly and the main brake assembly. The limited authority damper assembly includes an outer spacing ring configured to be coupled to the drive shaft of the actuator, an inner damping ring coupled to the outer spacing ring and the drag brake assembly, and a first spring disposed between the outer spacing ring and the inner damping ring.

Abstract: An apparatus and method of a wing fold system may include a latch assembly rotating an unfixed portion of a wing, with respect to a fixed portion of the wing, between a flight position of the wing and a folded position of the wing. A first portion of the wing may hold a rotating portion of the latch assembly. A second portion of the wing may hold a secured portion of the latch assembly. The rotating portion of the latch assembly may rotate between an open position and a closed position. A slot in the rotating portion may receive the secured portion of the latch assembly. A securing portion of the rotating portion may secure a secured portion of the latch assembly. The latch assembly may prevent rotation of the second portion when the wing may be in the flight position.

Abstract: A latch pin actuator comprises a primary lock, a spring, and a piston. The primary lock is attached to a primary lock cam and has a notch. The spring is biased to lock the primary lock. The piston is configured to unlock the primary lock.
