The disclosed technology concerns an aircraft turbomachine part comprising a part body drilled with at least one cavity open to the outside and at least one conduit joining the cavity on the one hand and leading to the outside on the other hand. Each cavity receives a pressure sensor, and the conduit corresponds to the cavity guides the cables connected to the sensor to the outside of the part body. The part is an aircraft turbomachine vane.

A method performed by a mobile device for handling identification of equipment. The mobile device records an image, in a recording direction at a first location, of the equipment. Upon recording the image, the mobile device further obtains one or more radiation indications for determining a direction of radiation from the equipment; and provides the obtained one or more radiation indications associated with the recorded image, to an internal identifying process at the mobile device and/or a network node for identifying the equipment.

A computing device includes a memory storing instructions. The computing device also includes one or more processors coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions to perform operations including obtaining data specifying a wire to be routed; selecting a wire bundle as a candidate for routing the wire; determining bundle parameters; generating a transmission line model to determine an estimated effect of an electromagnetic disturbance on the wire bundle; performing a comparison of the estimated effect of the electromagnetic disturbance to an acceptance criterion; and generating output indicating whether, based on the comparison, a particular routing of the wire satisfies a design specification.

Systems and methods are disclosed to transport a common load attached by slings by two or more Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) aircraft using synchronized maneuvering and load feedback control. In one embodiment, a system includes: a unit configured to direct the load operation with macro level commands input by a system operator; a unit, on each aircraft, configured to estimate its state; a unit configured to measure the sling load forces on each aircraft; a unit configured to release the load from the aircraft; a unit configured to allow all aircraft to share their load data and aircraft state data; a computing system on each aircraft with access to the shared data and the ability to control the aircraft control effectors and sling release mechanism; and a computing unit configured to execute a Guidance & Navigation system (or equivalent) and a Multi-Lift Autonomous Flight Control System (MLAFCS) with Multi-Lift Synchronized Maneuvering, Load Distribution Regulation, and Load Swing Feedback (or equivalent) on the aforementioned computing unit.

An insulation application assembly for applying insulation to a power line employs an open-ended enclosure to partly surround a segment of the power line. The assembly employs an insulation material conveying mechanism to move insulation material from insulation storage to the insulation material applicator connected to the interior surface of the open-ended enclosure.

Robotic wings for an aerial drone include a plurality of armwing structures, each comprising a plurality of rigid members connected together by flexible living hinges in a single monolithic structure. Wing membranes are supported by the armwing structures. A drive mechanism is connected to the armwing structures for articulating the armwing structures. A motor is connected to the drive mechanism for actuating the drive mechanism to move the armwing structures through a series of wingbeats wherein the armwing structures expand in a downstroke and retract in an upstroke to move the wing membranes in a flapping motion.
