    摘要: A component alignment system for an aircraft includes a first component having a first surface including first shaped projections that repeat in at least two directions along the first surface. The component alignment system also includes a second component having a second surface including second shaped projections that repeat in at least two directions along the second surface. The first shaped projections are complementary to the second shaped projections such that the first surface is translationally and rotationally constrained relative to the second surface when the first and second shaped projections are in an interlocked position.

    摘要: An air intake system for an aircraft, which is switchable between a performance mode and a filtered mode, includes a duct forming filtered air inlet slits. The air intake system also includes interconnected gills adjacent to the filtered air inlet slits. The gills are movable between various gill positions including a closed position substantially covering the filtered air inlet slits and an open position substantially exposing the filtered air inlet slits. The air intake system also includes an actuator configured to move the gills into the closed position in the performance mode and the open position in the filtered mode.
