Abstract: An aircraft fuselage is configured to receive two tanks designed to contain liquid hydrogen. The fuselage includes a first section for a cockpit, a second section for a passenger cabin and a third section (T3) distinct from the first section (T1) and from the second section (T2). The third section (T3) includes two housings each to house a tank. The two housings are arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical plane of symmetry (P1). This arrangement of the tanks in a section distinct from the other sections allows them to be located as close as possible to the motors that they have to supply.

The example device includes an infrared light to output an infrared beam through the chamber and a gas sensor to measure radiation absorbed at different frequencies of the infrared beam. A processor is coupled to the gas sensor to detect gas molecules present in the air within the chamber based on the measured radiation absorbed.

Abstract: An example acoustic transducer device includes a magnet and a pole plate connected to the magnet. The pole plate includes a nickel-iron alloy having nickel as a principal component. The device further includes a diaphragm movable relative to the pole plate to generate a sound and a coil connected to the diaphragm. The coil is to extend into a gap at the pole plate. The coil is to magnetically interact with a magnetic field provided to the gap by the magnet and the pole plate to drive the diaphragm.

Abstract: An ejector system for ejecting/separating a store, such as a weapon, from a launch platform includes a pair of spring assemblies that each include nested springs that are contained in a housing when the spring assemblies are in a compressed configuration. To separate the store from the aircraft the spring assemblies each move from the initial compressed configuration to an extended configuration, using the potential energy stored in the springs when compressed. The extension of the springs extends the springs mostly out of the spring assembly housings, extending telescoped sleeves of the spring assemblies. The extension of the spring assemblies provides a safe and steady way of separating the store from the launch platform, while having the advantages of being reusable, low cost and low weight, not producing any debris, and providing a softer push than may be produced by other separation mechanisms, such as the use of pyrotechnic devices.

Abstract: An antenna system, in one example implementation, can include antenna portions including a first portion of the antenna to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal. The antenna can include a second portion capacitively coupled to the first portion, wherein the capacitive coupling of the second portion to the first portion increases the high-band resonances. The antenna can include a third portion of the antenna connected to a connector. The third portion can be capacitively coupled to the first portion to excite wide low-band resonances and high-band resonances. The connector can be a ground for the third portion.

In one example, separate antennae can include an antenna system having a first antenna to receive and transmit signals in a first frequency band, a second antenna to receive signals in a second frequency band and transmit and receive signals in a third frequency band, and a third antenna to receive signals in a fourth frequency band, where each of the first antenna, the second antenna, and the third antenna are physically separate and distinct.

Abstract: An aircraft (1) including a wing (5), the wing having an inner region (5a) and an outer region (5b), the inner and outer regions (5a, 5b) being connected by a hinge (11) defining a hinge line about which the outer region (5b) is foldable to reduce the span of the wing. The aircraft (1) includes an actuator (13) arranged to actuate the folding of the outer region (5b) of the wing with an actuation force.
