    摘要: Containers and parachutes for payloads to be delivered via an aerial delivery system are disclosed. In one example, a system for aerial delivery of a payload includes a parachute having a canopy, a plurality of legs extending from the canopy, one or more attachment features arranged on an end of the legs. The system also includes a payload container with a plurality of anchors and where the plurality of anchors are integral with the payload container and receive the one or more attachment features.

    摘要: A circuit board assembly for association with an aircraft includes a circuit board and an electromagnetic interference component connected to the circuit board. The circuit board assembly may further include an enclosure having an electromagnetic signal permissive layer and an electromagnetic signal blocking layer. The electromagnetic signal permissive layer may include a housing that define a volume. The housing may enclose the electromagnetic interference component on the circuit board. The electromagnetic signal blocking layer defines a conductive barrier about the electromagnetic interference component.

    摘要: Described herein is a sensor probe for association with a portion of an aircraft. The sensor probe includes a microphone assembly having a portion configured to receive audio signals. The sensor probe further includes a nosecone associated with the microphone assembly. The nosecone assembly is configured to shield the portion of the microphone assembly from noise generated by direct impact of an airflow for a plurality of local flow angles. In some examples, the nosecone includes a tip and a body portion, wherein a diameter of the body portion of the nosecone is smaller than a length of the nosecone and the nosecone is configured to mitigate drag of the sensor probe in an airflow. In some examples, the nosecone further includes a mount assembly downstream of the nosecone and positioned rearward of the tip and including a mount aperture in fluid communication within an external environment of the sensor probe and configured to direct airflow from the external environment rearward, the microphone positioned downstream of the mount assembly and secured in a perpendicular orientation relative to a direction of airflow exiting the mount aperture, and an acoustic corridor to transmit the audio signal extending from an opening at an external environment of the sensor probe to the microphone via the mount aperture, wherein the opening is defined by a side of the nosecone.

    摘要: A system includes a camera configured such that a field of view of the camera is positioned to capture a base portion and a movable portion of an aircraft. A computer communicatively connected to the camera is configured to determine a relative orientation between a base identification feature of the base portion and a movable identification feature of the movable portion of the aircraft based on image data received from the camera. The computer is also configured to determine a position of the movable portion of the aircraft based on the relative orientation between the base identification feature and the movable identification feature and a position of the base portion and to compare the position of the movable portion to a reported position for the movable portion to determine a variance. An aircraft control system is configured to monitor a state of the aircraft based on the variance.
