Wind driven elements are configured and shaped to provide maximum force from both lift and drag during the downwind phase of operation and minimum force during the upwind phase. The guide lines add stability to the ... 09/21/06 - 20060208132 - Autonomous in-flight refueling system An autonomous in-flight refueling hose end unit includes a first end, a second end remote from the first end, one or more adjustable control surfaces and a flight control computer. The first end is configured to be coupled to a fuel hose of a tanker aircraft. The second end is ... 09/07/06 - 20060196992 - Cycloidal hybrid advanced surface effects vehicle A “wing in ground effect” aerial vehicle includes a wing mounted on a fuselage, and two cycloidal propulsion units for providing lift, thrust and longitudinal control. Additional lift is provided by a lighter-than-air gas such as helium contained in the fuselage. Operationally, the two cycloidal propulsion units and the volume ... 05/18/06 - 20060102776 - Dual action inlet door and method for use thereof An inlet door assembly and method for reducing noise from an auxiliary power unit (APU) contained within an aircraft housing is provided. The inlet assembly includes an inlet duct, an actuator, and a door. The inlet duct is configured to extend from the auxiliary power unit to the aircraft housing ... 01/26/06 - 20060016928 - Payload adapter A payload adapter consists of a body that when hollow includes a plurality of stiffeners—radial and/or circumferential—or alternatively a core for carrying shear loads. The body may include a first annular face sheet, a second annular face sheet and a plurality of stiffeners connecting between the first annular face sheet ... 01/12/06 - 20060006278 - Kite A kite has a cover sheet having first and second opposed main surfaces. A frame assembly is attached to the second main surface of the cover sheet to define a body having an overall height and an overall width. The frame assembly has frame members connected together to form a ... 10/13/05 - 20050224635 - Dual action inlet door and method for use thereof An inlet door assembly and method for reducing noise from an auxiliary power unit (APU) contained within an aircraft housing is provided. The inlet assembly includes an inlet duct, an actuator, and a door. The inlet duct is configured to extend from the auxiliary power unit to the aircraft housing ... 10/13/05 - 20050224634 - Aircraft brake wheel heat shield A perforated heat shield (20) is formed of a single layer and is implemented to be positioned between an aircraft brake assembly (34) and wheel assembly (28) in order to effectively protect the wheel assembly (28) and adjacent components from excessive thermal energy generated by an operation of the brake ... 08/25/05 - 20050184193 - Modular anti-icing/de-icing device for an aerodynamic surface A anti-icing/de-icing device for an aircraft wing includes at least one aerodynamic surface, e.g. a rotorcraft blade or an airplane wing, the aerodynamic surface possessing at least two anti-icing/de-icing modules 17, with each module 17 being provided with a respective heater element 54. In addition, the heater elements 54 of ... 08/18/05 - 20050178880 - Auxiliary fuel tank systems for aircraft and methods for their manufacture and use Auxiliary fuel tank systems for aircraft and methods for their manufacture and use. In one embodiment, an aircraft can include a fuselage, at least one engine, and a fuel system configured to distribute fuel to at least one of the engine and an aerial refueling manifold. The aircraft can further ... 07/14/05 - 20050151002 - Vertical takeoff and landing apparatus A vertical takeoff and landing apparatus is excellent in the maneuverability and postural stability of its airframe, serves to protect a pilot from an impact when landing, and can make extremely stable flight when hovering near a building. An airframe has a propulsion device for generating propulsive force in a ... 06/23/05 - 20050133663 - Lower bearing for aircraft landing gear An improved split bearing for use with an aircraft landing gear assembly is disclosed.
