An aircraft includes a battery pack, an internal support structure to support the battery pack in the aircraft, a first bracket rigidly coupling the battery pack to the support structure, and a second bracket rotationally coupling the battery pack to the support structure. The first and second brackets may be located on opposite sides of the battery pack. The internal support structure may be located in a wing of the aircraft and the first and second brackets may be aligned in a fore-aft direction of the aircraft. The internal support structure may be located in a nacelle of the aircraft and the first and second brackets may be aligned along a transverse direction of the aircraft. The second bracket may include two hangers to support a mass of the battery pack in tension.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for configuring a control message in a broadcasting system for supporting a multimedia service based on an internet protocol. To this end, control information to be recorded in a payload of a control message to be configured is generated based on a table selected from among a plurality of tables for defining the information related to the generation and consumption of a hybrid content when a message type of the control message to be configured is determined to be a type for providing information related to the generation and consumption of a hybrid content. In addition, the information related to the type of the selected table is recorded in an optional field of the control message to be configured.

A method may comprise: laying up a first plurality of plies of material comprising thermoplastic resin and fiber to form an inner skin preform, the inner skin preform being a continuous sheet including alternating peaks and valleys; laying up a second plurality of plies of material comprising thermoplastic resin and fiber to form an outer skin preform; and joining the inner skin preform to the outer skin preform.

A method includes providing thrust to an aircraft through a power train from a heat engine connected to the power train. The method includes controlling an electric motor connected to the power train to counter torque ripple in the power train from the heat engine. A system includes a power train for providing thrust to an aircraft. A heat engine is connected to the power train. An electric motor is operatively connected to the power train. A controller is operatively connected to control the electric motor. The controller includes machine readable instructions configured to cause the controller to control the electric motor to counter torque ripple in the power train from the heat engine.

An aircraft pylon comprising a primary structure and a pipe segment having an internal duct positioned inside at least one structural tube primary structure. This solution makes it possible to reduce the crowding outside the structural tubes of the primary structure, makes it easier to integrate other equipment inside the pylon, and may help to improve the aerodynamic performance of the pylon by reducing its cross section.
