Abstract: Disclosed here is an aircraft landing gear support fixture suitable for supporting a grounded aircraft for testing purposes. The support fixture includes a strut having a longitudinal strut axis, an upper strut end, and a lower strut end. The upper strut end has attachment structure that is compatibly shaped, sized, and configured to attach the strut to the aircraft in lieu of a landing gear strut of the aircraft. The support fixture also includes a support platform to support the strut, wherein the support platform is in a fixed position relative to a stationary reference foundation. A strut force sensor is coupled between the lower strut end and the support platform to provide sensor output associated with load imparted by the strut. The strut, the strut force sensor, and the support platform are coupled together and arranged to inhibit movement of the strut along the longitudinal strut axis.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for performing ground-based flammable fluid drainage testing are provided. An apparatus for performing flammable fluid drainage testing on a test article includes a spine configured to receive a coupon; a first wall structure configured to engage the spine to form a first chamber; a second wall structure configured to engage the spine to form a second chamber opposite the first chamber; a nozzle device configured to spray a fluid into the first chamber and onto the coupon; a vacuum device configured to create a pressure differential between the first chamber and the second chamber; a leg mounting the spine to a base; and a shaker platform configured to apply an excitation input to the coupon.

Abstract: Disclosed here is a landing gear support fixture for an aircraft under test having a landing gear. The disclosed landing gear support fixture includes: an axle attachment assembly that is compatibly shaped, sized, and configured to mate with and attach to at least one axle of the landing gear of the aircraft under test; a support platform to support the axle attachment assembly, wherein the support platform is in a fixed position relative to a stationary reference foundation; and a force sensor couplable between the axle attachment assembly and the support platform to provide sensor output associated with load imparted by the landing gear of the aircraft under test.

Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses/systems, and media for data management are disclosed. A processor integrates internal data, third party data, user-generated content data, and historical data into key data that relates to management of one or more stores and branches in a network of stores and branches. The key data is stored into a single centralized database. The processor generates analytical insights data from analysis of the key data and historical data. The analytical insights data is displayed onto a graphical user interface (GUI) for considering and analyzing the analytical insights data by a user. User's feedback data is received that corresponds to the user's response based on analyzing the analytical insights data. The processor apples machine learning (ML) algorithms for continuously analyzing all available data including the user's feedback data and extracting and classifying contents of available data including the feedback data to provide targeted recommendations data onto the GUI.
