Abstract: A pneumo-mechanical landing gear deployment system includes a dual-stage handle operatively connected to a pressurized tank, a nose landing gear pneumatically connected to the pressurized tank, and a main landing gear pneumatically connected to the pressurized tank. Actuation of the dual-stage handle to a first position opens the pressurized tank thereby deploying the nose landing gear. Actuation of the dual-stage handle to a second position causes further opening of the pressurized tank thereby deploying the main landing gear. The system may be employed as a backup landing gear deployment system in the case of a primary landing gear system failure.

Abstract: For A zip line trolley brake system includes a cable suspended between upper and lower support platforms which, together, function with rider harnessing, loading, and take-off with a passive braking trolley allowing a controlled descent and barrel spring system providing addition braking near the end of a cable termination. The zip line trolley positioned atop a cable includes a frame assembled from a pair of parallel side plates, a four-sided rotational brake pad, and a parabolic groove wheel which is sandwiched between side plates, and a lever. A lever from which a rider is suspended, can be pinned anywhere within the trolley's circular toothed slot instilling a brake force for the cable slope. A trolley brake generally square sides are grooved for cables and fabricated from a durable polymeric material is rotatably within affixed side plates.

Abstract: For stopping a zip line trolley, a zip line braking system includes an impact device, a non-zip liner parallel cable, a freewheeling pulley, a tether, and at least one spring. The impact device rides on a zip line cable, wherein the impact device is positioned down the zip line cable from a zip line trolley that rides on the zip line cable. The impact device does not ride on the non-zip liner parallel cable. The tether connects the impact device to a first freewheeling pulley. The impact device applies a force to the first freewheeling pulley via the tether in response to a zip line trolley contacting the freewheeling pulley. The at least one spring is disposed on the non-zip liner parallel cable and slows the freewheeling pulley, wherein the freewheeling pulley decelerates the impact device and the zip line trolley via the tether to a stop.
