Dual joysticks map continuous displacement to power drive units, enabling precise multi-directional cargo manipulation within partitioned holds.
Removable floor elements resolve the contradiction between container support and bulk space, maintaining gas-tight seals during configuration changes.
Coded infrared light signals from remote handsets activate power drive units through a wired network, eliminating local control panels.
A rotary door system translates inward before rotating to maintain flush alignment with the aircraft mold line.
Segmented stop device prevents free rolling of unit loads by engaging edges, avoiding complex integrated pop-up lock mechanisms.
A drone floor uses a dynamic support surface to move articles through the containment area.
Motor-driven latch coupling shaft engages unit load devices via torque transmitting pin, reducing manual labor and operational time.
Dual boom-mounted rotors enable vertical takeoff and efficient cruise by minimizing drag, resolving weight and complexity trade-offs in VTOL designs.
Sliding restraint assemblies adapt to varying pallet widths, eliminating labor-intensive modifications required by fixed cargo systems.
An angled restraint roller disk rotates to guide cargo while preventing damage from protruding ULD features and tie-down fittings.
An eccentric lift roller with an offset channel and boss feature enables precise alignment during assembly.
