Variable nose gear extension adjusts BWB angle of attack while enabling compact stowage to save space, weight, and drag.
A hydraulic circuit with compliant elements lets nose and main gear adjust angle of attack and fold compactly without added weight.
A shared hydraulic circuit and compliant element let nose and main gear compress for compact stowage while preserving take-off angle adjustment.
A blended wing body integrates fuel storage, cargo bay, and hybrid propulsors to extend freighter range while lowering fuel use.
Handling fixtures and dollies rotate, align, and secure UAV wing panels and landing pods for safe transport and assembly on uneven terrain.
Adjustable dollies and rotating handling fixtures align UAV wing panels for safe assembly and towing over uneven terrain.
Handling fixtures and dollies rotate, align, and secure UAV wing panels for assembly while preventing damage and unintended takeoff on uneven terrain.
This case moves landing gear to outboard wing-root wells, reducing cargo intrusion while supporting aircraft weight distribution.
Horseshoe hoops support a top-mounted engine while transferring weight to the rear spar.
Separate lateral-side doors enable simultaneous passenger flow, reducing wait times and congestion in blended wing body aircraft.
An air vehicle uses differential propeller thrust to rotate opposing wings, enabling seamless transition between fixed wing and rotary wing flight modes.
Relocating landing gear to dedicated housings outside the passenger compartment preserves volume and enables a single deck configuration.
