摘要: A stabilizing system for a cable has a cable deployed and suspended from a helicopter, a cargo support attached at a deployed end of the cable, an end effector attached to the cable, the end effector comprising thrusters directed in a plurality of directions orthogonal to a vertical axis of the cable, first control circuitry in the helicopter, and second control circuitry in the end effector. Thrust of individual thrusters is controlled through the first and second control circuitry maintaining the axis of the cable vertical, damping swinging of the cable.

摘要: A restrain and release mechanism for an externally airborne load, includes at least one stiff support for suspending the load and an elastically deformable adaptive member designed to maintain the load at pressure contact against the support. The adaptive member is a three-dimensional monolithic metallic body obtained using an additive manufacturing method and having a flexural orthotropic behaviour.

摘要: A system includes a payload ejector configured to contact a payload carried by a flight vehicle and to push the payload away from the flight vehicle. The payload ejector includes a piston configured to extend from the payload ejector and a shock attenuator coupled to the piston, where the shock attenuator is configured to push the payload away from the flight vehicle. The shock attenuator includes a shock attenuator housing and a plunger that is movable within the shock attenuator housing and that extends from the shock attenuator housing. The plunger is configured to be pushed at least partially into the shock attenuator housing in order to damp a shock pulse applied to the payload. The shock attenuator housing may have an interior space, and the shock attenuator may further include a spring, compliant material, or fluid within the interior space.

摘要: An aircraft pylon is provided, configured for mounting to the underside of an aircraft wing projecting from a fuselage and for carrying an external payload suspended therefrom. The pylon comprises an attachment mechanism configured for facilitating mounting of the pylon to the aircraft wing, and a carrying arrangement configured for carrying the payload and being pivotally articulated to the attachment mechanism. The pylon is configured to selectively pivot the carrying arrangement about a pylon axis between a vertical position in which it is suspended in a substantially vertical orientation, and a tilted position in which it is tilted toward the fuselage.
