  • Publication number: 20220274689
    Abstract: An aircraft system for an aircraft is disclosed having a controller that is configured, during a take-off procedure, to initiate, prior to receiving a command to retract a landing gear, automatic opening of a landing gear bay door associated with the landing gear from a closed position towards an open position, on the basis of a determination, made when a speed of the aircraft is determined by the controller to be equal to or greater than a first threshold speed, that a one engine inoperative condition is met.

  • Publication number: 20220274690
    Abstract: An aircraft system for an aircraft, the aircraft system including a controller configured, during a take-off procedure, to determine that a one engine inoperative condition is met and determine that a predetermined take-off criterion is met. The controller is configured, on the basis of a determination that the one engine inoperative condition is met, and prior to receiving a command to retract a landing gear of the aircraft, to initiate automatic opening of a landing gear bay door associated with the landing gear from a closed position towards an open position when the controller determines that the predetermined take-off criterion is met, and inhibit the automatic opening when the controller determines that the predetermined take-off criterion is not met.

  • Patent number: 10220435
    Abstract: A tooling installation system having unique tools which provide an external force directly to the sleeve end of a faster to create a bulb on the sleeve of the fastener is provided. The system provides external forces directly to the sleeve end of the fastener deforming a portion of the sleeve radially outward and onto the structure prior to swaging a second portion of the sleeve radially inward onto the pin. Additionally, the system controls formation of the sleeve by capturing an external portion of the sleeve creating a cavity between the tool and the structure for achieving proper bulb formation during installation prior to swage. The system also provides specific forces to the head of the pin and the head of the sleeve to insure proper seating of the fastener head against the structure inducing residual compressive stresses within the structure, thus improving mechanical properties such as fatigue life of the structure.

  • Patent number: 10124945
    Abstract: A method for displaying an item includes providing a hang tab and product tag assembly including a first panel, a second panel, and a third panel. The method includes inserting at least a portion of the item through an aperture of the second panel; stretching the second panel to change a size of the aperture and allowing the aperture to conform to dimensions of the portion of the item; inserting at least a portion of a retention mechanism through an aperture of the first panel; and suspending the first panel from the retention mechanism such that the first panel extends at a first angle relative to the second panel, and such that the second panel extends at a second angle relative to the third panel.

  • Patent number: 9404521
    Abstract: A self-integrating insert sleeve assembly, comprising an insert sleeve and an expander pin, for insertion into an aperture of a work piece is provided. Upon installation, the insert sleeve component is incrementally expanded by interaction with the pin, and secured to the aperture of the work piece, such that the resulting aperture of the installed insert sleeve has a predetermined diameter, and the resulting structure now contains compressive residual stresses. Thus, the installed insert sleeve may be employed as a hole repair solution, allowing for the installation of an original size fastener per structural design within a damaged and reconditioned aperture, or simply for enhanced structural fatigue life. The installation of this insert sleeve may be done through various manners, including pull type, push type, and blind type installation processes.

  • Patent number: 9162751
    Abstract: An actuator is arranged to move an aircraft component such as a landing gear leg, flap or aileron between a first position and a second position, net load from external forces acting on the aircraft component tending to drive it towards the first position. The actuator comprises a threaded screw and a threaded nut. A main prime mover is configured to apply torque to the screw or nut acting in opposition to the net load under normal operating conditions. An emergency prime mover is configured to apply torque to the screw or nut acting in the same sense as the net load under emergency operating conditions in which the interface between the nut and the screw has become partially jammed to the extent that the component cannot be moved from the second position to the first position by operation of the net load alone.
