Abstract: Systems and methods for depicting aircraft traffic. One example system includes an electronic controller coupled to a transceiver and a display for displaying a traffic interface. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the traffic interface, a map representing a travel area. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the map, a first graphical representation of a first aircraft within the travel area. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the map, a second graphical representation of a second aircraft within the travel area. The electronic controller is configured to receive, from the transceiver, a first location of the first aircraft. The electronic controller is configured to receive, from the transceiver, a second location of the second aircraft.

Abstract: Systems and methods for detection and display of marine objects for an aircraft. One example system includes a transceiver configured to communicate with an Automatic Identification System (AIS) server and an electronic controller located within an aircraft. The electronic controller is configured to provide on a display an interface comprising a map representing a travel area. The electronic controller is configured to provide, on the map, a first graphical representation of the aircraft within the travel area. The electronic controller is configured to receive, via the transceiver, marine object data from the AIS server. The electronic controller is configured to periodically update, on the map, a second graphical representation of a first marine object within the travel area based on the marine object data.

Abstract: A conformal bearing assembly includes an bearing housing, an elastomeric member and a bearing element. The bearing assembly is mounted between and inner and outer telescopic member. The elastomeric member allows the bearing element to substantially conform to the adjacent telescopic member irrespective of minor manufacturing inconsistencies along the adjacent telescopic member. Contact pressure between the bearing element and the adjacent telescopic member is thereby more evenly distributed which minimizes regions of interference and or clearance which may otherwise result in undesirable wear characteristics of the telescopic system.
