He has been awarded 3 patents that focus on enhancing the functionality and safety of high lift systems in aircraft. His work is instrumental in advancing aviation technology.
Latest Patents
Eugen Neb's latest patents include a method for determining the state of a component in a high lift system of an aircraft. This method involves extending at least one high lift surface coupled with two drive struts, where one strut is a load sensing drive strut. The process includes acquiring a first load sensed by the load sensing drive strut at a specific flight state and comparing it with a known nominal load. An alarm signal is produced if the acquired load deviates from the nominal load within a predetermined threshold.
Another significant patent is a method for determining the position of a component in a high lift system of an aircraft. This method utilizes a central power control unit that provides rotational power through a transmission shaft, along with actuator drive stations and movable high lift surfaces. The steps involve acquiring rotational positions of position pick-off units and determining the number of full rotations accomplished by the first position pick-off unit.
