  • Publication number: 20250250026
    Abstract: Generating tailored fuel and weight calculations is provided. The method comprises receiving input of a configuration file that defines a customized formula for fuel and weight calculations for an aircraft mission, wherein the formula references base category values in an electronic flight folder. The configuration file is loaded into an electronic flight bag application on a mobile device. The electronic flight bag application interpreted the customized formula in the configuration file to calculate tailored fuel and weight for the aircraft mission.

  • Patent number: 12296380
    Abstract: A nickel-based alloy for forming a seal ring is disclosed. Such seal rings, in use may be static or rotating and may be used in a variety of applications, such as in wheel assemblies of machines.

The disclosed alloy includes a chromium content greater than at least 13.5% by weight, a boron content less than 3% by weight, a carbon content less than 2% by weight, and nickel content greater than 70% by weight. The nickel alloy may have a carbon plus boron atomic content divided by chromium atomic content less than 1.1. This alloy allows for the rapid cooling of centrifugal casting while maintaining a grain morphology suitable for relatively low leakage and relatively high durability. When the alloy is formulated, the seal ring is formed by centrifugal casting.
