A ram door fairing directs airflow into an auxiliary power unit intake duct, reducing drag by up to 14.9%.
Dielectric gas insulated conduit transmits aircraft electrical power above 270V, reducing cable weight while preventing corona discharge effects.
A rigid fixture system secures aircraft electronics racks during assembly and transport using lateral clamps and removable covers.
An auxiliary power unit mechanically couples to high and low pressure spools via a reduction gearbox to supply rotational power.
A direct electric drive system couples a polyphase generator to an electric motor for aircraft propulsion.
APU drives load compressor and generator to supply cabin air, eliminating redundant generators and reducing aircraft weight.
Segmented dual hybrid energy system supplies transient power spikes via ultra-capacitors, reducing generator size and extending battery life.
Lighting arrangement on landing gear wheels identifies electric taxi-equipped aircraft, resolving ground visibility conflicts without fuselage markings.
Overhanging beam structure secures an auxiliary jet engine in the tail cone, eliminating separate APU mass and noise.
Sliding fuselage brackets on longitudinal elements reduce dynamic amplification and improve reliability.
