244118200 | Removable, load bearing, airframe section | 9 |
20090014583 | Removable cargo pod with lifting mechanism and open top - A removable cargo pod for attachment to an aircraft fuselage; a mechanism in said pod to raise and lower it into and from engagement with the fuselage; and an open top so as to provide access to the interior while it is vertically displaced or removed from the fuselage. | 01-15-2009 |
20090189017 | RELEASABLE FASTENING OF A COMPONENT IN AN AIRCRAFT - A device for the releasable fastening of a component in an aircraft includes a component carrier with a base plane, wherein the component carrier comprises an installation state in which the base plane of the component carrier comprises an angle relative to the horizontal base plane of the aircraft, and wherein the component carrier is equipped to accommodate a component in a releasably affixed manner. | 07-30-2009 |
20100200696 | QUICK-CHANGE FASTENING SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING AN ELEMENT TO A FASTENING STRUCTURE - The present application describes a quick-change fastening system for demountably mounting an element to a fastening structure. The element comprises an engagement element that is designed to engage a bearing element of the fastening structure, wherein the element is hingeably held around the bearing element between a hooked-in position and a fastened position. The element further comprises a fastening element that can be affixed to a locking element of the fastening structure when the element is in its fastened position. The engagement element and the bearing element are designed such that along a hingeing movement of the element a form-fit connection is established when the element is in its hooked-in position, and that a force-fit connection is established when the element is in its fastened position. | 08-12-2010 |
20100230537 | Floor Module of a Cargo Deck in the Hull of an Aircraft - Floor modules of a cargo deck in a hull of an aircraft which comprise support devices for carrying functional elements, e.g. panels, roller conveyors or ball mats, are provided. The support devices are attachable in the hull of the aircraft directly or by way of intermediate elements. To improve stability at reduced weight, end support devices, as seen in the aircraft's longitudinal direction, have a thickness reduced in such a way compared to the other support devices of the floor module that only together with the end support devices of a floor module installed adjacently in the hull do they ensure a loading capacity that corresponds to at least the loading capacity of the other support devices. | 09-16-2010 |
20100258672 | Aircraft, particularly an unmanned aircraft, having at least one weapons bay - An aircraft, particularly an unmanned aircraft, has at least one weapons bay. At least one standardized equipment container can be inserted into the weapons bay. | 10-14-2010 |
20130082139 | AIRCRAFT - An aircraft is disclosed which is analogous to a tractor motor vehicle. In alternative fixed wing and helicopter embodiments, an airframe is adapted to transport different cargo modules. Some modules are adapted to carry freight and other modules are adapted to carry passengers. The aircraft arrives at a destination with an attached module, decouples from that module and attaches a different module to be transported to a different destination. | 04-04-2013 |
20130228651 | METHOD FOR BOARDING AND UNLOADING OF PASSENGERS OF AND AIRCRAFT WITH REDUCED IMMOBILISATION TIME OF THE AIRCRAFT, AIRCRAFT AND AIR TERMINAL FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION - Methods for transferring a payload such as passengers and/or luggage and/or freight between an airport and a cabin of an aircraft are provided. Air terminals, aircraft and removable cabin modules suitable for implementing these methods are also provided. An aircraft is provided which includes a removable cabin module. A docking module is also provided for transferring a removable cabin module between an aircraft and an airport. A method for modifying the internal configuration of the cabin of such an aircraft by replacing a removable cabin module of the aircraft is also provided. | 09-05-2013 |
20150360793 | DUAL FUEL AIRCRAFT - An aircraft comprises several elements. A throttle body is adapted to regulate a rate of air flow. An electronic control unit, in turn, is in signal communication with one or more sensors, and comprises a data processor in signal communication with a memory. A first fuel delivery system is operative to direct a first fuel from a first fuel tank to the plurality of cylinders at a rate determined at least in part by a condition of the throttle body. A second fuel delivery system is operative to direct a second fuel from a second fuel tank to the plurality of cylinders at a rate determined at least in part by the electronic control unit in response to signals from the one or more sensors. One or more fuel selection controls allow a pilot of the aircraft to select between powering the aircraft with the first fuel delivery system and the second fuel delivery system. | 12-17-2015 |
20160016666 | Modular Mounting Structure with Embedded Electrical Bus - A modular mounting structure is described which allows for the easy installation and removal of various payloads from a vehicle structure. An embedded electrical bus feature further supports the installation of the various payloads into the vehicle structure. | 01-21-2016 |
