  • Aircraft engine comprising a variable area exhaust nozzle
    Patent number: 11939052
    Abstract: The present invention provides an engine 310 of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft 300, wherein the engine is configured to be movable with respect to an aircraft component 342 of the aircraft 300 between a hover position for take-off and landing, and a cruise position for forward flight, wherein the engine 310 comprises an aerodynamic component 332 having at least one aerodynamic element 334 movable between a first position 336 according to a first operational state of the aircraft, and a second position 338 according to a second operational state of the aircraft, the aerodynamic element defining an aerodynamic surface in contact with an airstream passing through the engine.

  • Shock-isolated mounting device with a thermally-conductive link
    Patent number: 10605820
    Abstract: A shock-isolated mounting device and a method and system are provided. For example, the shock-isolated mounting device includes an enclosure configured to support the mounting device, at least one damper attached between the mounting device and the enclosure, and a thermally-conductive element disposed on a surface of the mounting device and configured to thermally couple the mounting device to the enclosure. The thermally-conductive element facilitates the dissipation of heat generated by electronic components mounted onto the shock-isolated mounting device.
