Title: Simon John Cozens and His Aircraft-System Patents.

Introduction

Simon John Cozens is an inventor based in Bristol, Great Britain. His work includes aircraft-system inventions focused on landing-gear bay door operation during take-off. He is associated with Airbus Operations GmbH and Airbus Operations SAS. Cozens has 3 patents.

Latest Patents

Cozens’s latest patent disclosures describe aircraft systems that automate the opening of a landing-gear bay door during take-off when an engine is inoperative.

One invention uses a controller to determine whether a one-engine-inoperative condition and a predetermined take-off criterion are met. Before receiving a command to retract the landing gear, the controller initiates automatic opening of the associated bay door if both conditions are satisfied. If the take-off criterion is not met, the controller inhibits the automatic opening.

A related invention also describes automatic bay-door opening before a landing-gear retraction command. In this system, the controller initiates opening when it determines that an engine is inoperative and the aircraft’s speed has reached or exceeded a first threshold.

Career Highlights

Cozens’s listed company affiliations include Airbus Operations GmbH and Airbus Operations SAS. The patent descriptions reflect an emphasis on aircraft systems and the coordination of landing-gear components during take-off.
