An extension linkage for a wing flap can include at least one arm that includes two elements connected by a joint. The linkage can include an actuation mechanism, additional arms and/or each arm can include more than two elements, tie rods and/or cross pieces connecting two or more arms, and any other suitable components. The linkage functions to translate and rotate a body attached to one end of the arm relative to a primary structure attached to a second end of the arm. The linkage resides entirely within a space defined by the upper skin and the lower skin of the wing rearward of the mounting when in a retracted configuration.

Three-dimensional extension linkage for aircraft

A rotor assembly deployment mechanism configured to deploy a rotor assembly of a vertical take-off and landing aircraft from a horizontal, forward thrust, position to a vertical, hover, position. The rotor assembly deployment mechanism is configured to deploy an electric motor and propeller together. The deployment mechanism provides significant stiffness and strength with the use of torsion box constructions. The deployment mechanism may utilize bar linkages wherein the primary linkage pivot is of a large diameter relative to the span of the pivot in order to provide significant stiffness. The deployment mechanism may utilize rotary actuators to drive the deployment and stowing of the rotor assembly.

Rotor assembly deployment mechanism and aircraft using same

A joining structure adapted to join adjacent tube structures together while providing high strength with low weight. The joining structure may be of composite materials, and may include warp tows in the longitudinal direction of the tubes and have weft tows cross-woven into a fabric, which may be a carbon fiber. The joining structure may be Y-shaped and adapted to join three composite sheets together. The weft tows may also be wound around a central cluster of tows, or tows, which may provide extra strength. The tubes may be pressurized in use, such as in an aircraft fuselage.

Three-dimensional extension linkage

Boats and suspensions are provided, wherein the boat includes at least one hull, and at least one sponson, the at least one hull and at least one sponson connected by a shock-absorbing suspension member. The suspension greatly reduces the accelerations of the main hull, such that the hull accelerations are generally substantially less than the accelerations of the sponsons at selected speeds.
