Abstract: An aircraft wing is disclosed having a main fixed wing portion and a wing tip device at a tip thereof. The wing tip device is configurable between a flight configuration and a ground configuration, in which ground configuration the wing tip device is moved away from the flight configuration such that the span of the aircraft wing is reduced. A hinge arrangement connects the main fixed wing portion and the wing tip device and enables the wing tip device to rotate between the ground configuration and the flight configuration. The hinge arrangement protrudes beyond an outer surface of the main fixed wing portion and wing tip device. A fairing covers at least part of the hinge arrangement on at least a suction side of the wing.

Abstract: An aircraft wing is disclosed having a fixed wing with a tip, and a wing tip device rotatably mounted on a hinge at the tip of the fixed wing, such that the wing tip device is rotatable about the hinge, and an actuation system for rotating the wing tip device about the hinge. The actuation system includes a motor, at least one geared rotary actuator, a reduction gearbox, a clutch for selectively decoupling rotation of the motor from rotation of the geared rotary actuator, the geared rotary actuator is driveable by the motor and arranged to convert rotary motion into a different rotary motion and is arranged to rotate the wing tip device relative to the tip of the fixed wing. The reduction gearbox is positioned between the clutch and the geared rotary actuator along a drive train between the motor and the geared rotary actuator.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing human movement in video data is disclosed. Image data of a person performing an exercise is captured and processed using pose and object detection to generate metadata representing body part positions and angles. A sequence generator applies logical and arithmetic rules to the metadata to identify exercise repetitions through triggers and waypoints. A state machine tracks progression through the waypoints to determine repetition completion. Repetition confidences are determined and aggregated into an exercise confidence, which is used to identify the performed exercise and orientation. The system annotates video data with metric gates and corrects occlusions using geometric estimation. The system and method enable automated analysis of exercise movements for applications in fitness, sports, rehabilitation, and performance monitoring.

Abstract: An aircraft including a wing with a fixed wing portion and a wing tip device rotatably hingedly attached at a fixed wing portion outboard end. The wing includes a wing fold mechanism configured to actuate the wing tip device to rotate relative to the fixed wing portion to at least three commanded and predetermined wing fold angles and to restrain rotational movement of the wing tip device at each commanded position. A first position corresponds to high-speed flying, a second position to ground-based operations and a third position to low-speed flying. The flying positions rotate the wing tip to a position where upper and lower wing tip surfaces are continuations of the upper and lower surfaces of the fixed wing, with a low-speed incidence angle being less than a high-speed incidence angle. The ground-based position reduces the wing span to the greatest degree of the three positions.

The actuation system includes a motor, at least one geared rotary actuator, a reduction gearbox, a clutch for selectively decoupling rotation of the motor from rotation of the geared rotary actuator, the geared rotary actuator is driveable by the motor and arranged to convert rotary motion into a different rotary motion and is arranged to rotate the wing tip device relative to the tip of the fixed wing. The clutch is coupled to the geared rotary actuator by a shaft and the shaft is fixed in rotation to a mass disposed radially outwardly from the shaft.

Abstract: An aircraft wing is provided having a fixed wing with a gulled wing tip rotatably mounted at the tip thereof, the gulled wing tip extending below a wing plane defined by the end of the fixed wing such that the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip is located below the wing plane. Lowering the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip has been found to reduce the onset of flutter. The gulled wing tip may be gulled about a hinge axis where it meets the fixed wing, or may be otherwise folded or curved to lower the centre of gravity of the gulled wing tip.
