Rail Recovery System For Aircraft

View page
US Patent:
20130082137, Apr 4, 2013
Filed:
Apr 11, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/444297
Inventors:
John Gundlach - Manassas VA, US
Jean-Marie Bourven - Manassas VA, US
Francesco Giannini - Manassas VA, US
Steve Petullo - Manassas VA, US
Tom Clancy - Manassas VA, US
Assignee:
AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION - Manassas VA
International Classification:
B64F 1/02
B64C 25/68
US Classification:
244110 C, 244110 G
Abstract:
The present invention's side-arm recovery system enables large Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) to operate from small vessels or from ground sites with a minimal footprint. The side-arm recovery system allows arresting an UAS independent of a runway. On the ground or on a ship, the system makes use of a specialized crane system that includes capture and energy absorption devices. A fuselage-mounted top hook snags a horizontal cable and the arresting forces act in the plane of symmetry through the central structure of the UAS. After the capture energy is absorbed, the recovery system safely lowers the aerial vehicle to a ground handling cart. The same system can be combined into a launcher and retriever system which further reduces the footprint by eliminating the need for a separate launcher.

US Patent:
20220258857, Aug 18, 2022
Filed:
Nov 17, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/528752
Inventors:
- BERLIN, DE
Francesco GIANNINI - Falls Church VA, US
Diana SIEGEL - Manassas VA, US
Jan D. LIENHARD - Manhattan Beach CA, US
Assignee:
BCG DIGITAL VENTURES GMBH - BERLIN
International Classification:
B64C 27/26
B64C 27/30
B64D 27/24
B64C 39/12
B64C 29/00
B64C 39/08
Abstract:
A vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft is disclosed. The VTOL aircraft may include: a fuselage, a thrust rotor to produce a propulsion thrust, rotor booms, canard surfaces, wing surfaces, tail surfaces, and lift rotors to produce lifting thrust force.

Control System For An Aircraft And A Method Of Operating The Control System

View page
US Patent:
20230106444, Apr 6, 2023
Filed:
Oct 1, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/492011
Inventors:
- Manassas VA, US
Francesco Giannini - Falls Church VA, US
Assignee:
Aurora Flight Sciences Corporation, a subsidiary of The Boeing Company - Manassas VA
International Classification:
B64C 21/08
B64C 21/02
B64C 29/00
B64D 35/04
B64D 29/02
B64C 9/00
Abstract:
An aircraft and a control system for the aircraft includes a tilt-wing defining an inlet configured to receive air and an outlet in fluid communication with the inlet such that the outlet is configured to expel the air. The control system includes a high-lift device coupled to at least one of a leading edge, and a trailing edge of the tilt-wing. The high-lift device is movable relative to the tilt-wing. The control system includes a compressor in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet. The compressor is configured to increase pressure of the air that is expelled out of the outlet. The outlet directs the pressurized air toward at least one of the high-lift device and a center section of the tilt-wing to maintain attachment of airflow across the tilt-wing. A method of operating the control system of the aircraft occurs to maintain attachment of airflow across the tilt-wing.

Aircraft Having Hybrid Propulsion

US Patent:
20210309351, Oct 7, 2021
Filed:
Apr 7, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/842305
Inventors:
- Manasssas VA, US
Francesco Giannini - Falls Church VA, US
International Classification:
B64C 29/00
B60K 6/48
B60L 53/24
B64C 11/28
Abstract:
Aircraft having hybrid propulsion are disclosed. A disclosed example propulsion system for an aircraft. The propulsion system includes an engine, an electric motor, a first propeller mounted to an aerodynamic body of the aircraft, the first propeller driven by the engine, a second propeller mounted to the aerodynamic body and positioned outboard relative to the first propeller, the second propeller driven by the electric motor, and a selector to control whether the propulsion system is operated in a hybrid mode in which the first and second propellers are driven.

Vertical Take-Off And Landing Aircraft

US Patent:
20200277045, Sep 3, 2020
Filed:
Jan 23, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/750537
Inventors:
- Berlin, DE
Francesco GIANNINI - Falls Church VA, US
Diana SIEGEL - Manassas VA, US
Jan D. LIENHARD - Manhattan Beach CA, US
Assignee:
BCG Digital Ventures GmbH - Berlin
International Classification:
B64C 27/26
B64C 27/30
B64D 27/24
B64C 39/12
B64C 29/00
B64C 39/08
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft having three lifting surfaces and separate lift and cruise systems. The VTOL aircraft may include a fuselage having a roll axis, a thrust rotor to produce a propulsion thrust, first and second rotor booms, first and second canard surfaces, first and second wing surfaces, first and second tail surfaces, and a plurality of lift rotors to produce a lifting thrust force. The plurality of lift rotors includes a first plurality of lift rotors positioned on the first rotor boom and a second plurality of lift rotors positioned on the second rotor boom. The first and second rotor booms may be substantially parallel to the roll axis of the fuselage, where the fuselage is positioned between the first and second rotor booms. Each of the first and second rotor booms may be secured to the aircraft at three locations.

Boundary Layer Control System And Device

US Patent:
20200115040, Apr 16, 2020
Filed:
Oct 12, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/159351
Inventors:
- Manassas VA, US
Francesco Giannini - Falls Church VA, US
International Classification:
B64C 21/02
B64C 3/50
B64C 9/18
B64C 9/24
B64C 13/16
Abstract:
A boundary layer control (BLC) system for embedment in a flight surface having a top surface, a bottom surface, a leading edge, and a trailing edge. The BLC system may comprises an actuator having a crossflow fan and an electric motor to drive the crossflow fan about an axis of rotation. The actuator may be embedded within the flight surface and adjacent the leading edge. In operation, the actuator is configured to output local airflow via an outlet channel through an outlet aperture adjacent the top surface to energize a boundary layer of air adjacent the top surface of the flight surface.
