Beaded panels and method of forming beaded panels. A beaded panel as described herein includes a base structure comprising a sheet of material, and beads that comprise a protrusion on a first side of the base structure, and a concavity on an opposing second side of the base structure. A geometry of the beads comprises a center section having a conic shape about a longitudinal axis, flared sections symmetric about the center section along the longitudinal axis, and a transition section that curves outward from a base of the center section and the flared sections to blend with a flat surface on the first side of the base structure.

A structure for anti-adhesion of high-temperature air according to the present invention includes: a high-temperature air duct that is provided in an accessory of an aircraft and allows high-temperature air likely to be higher than a specified temperature to flow through the high-temperature air duct; an exhaust port that discharges a flow of the high-temperature air led through the high-temperature air duct, to an outside of the airframe; and a low-temperature air supplying part that supplies a flow of low-temperature air lower in temperature than the high-temperature air discharged to the outside of the airframe, to an airframe surface. The low-temperature air supplying part is configured to form an air layer made of a flow of low-temperature air between the high-temperature air that is bent toward the airframe surface in flight of the aircraft, and the an airframe surface.

A floor system for creating a floor in an interior of a vehicle has base part and a floor panel. The base part having a trough-shaped depression and the floor panel are attached to a floor support structure and together provide a customary installation height and also cavities for accommodating installation objects.

Aspects of the present disclosure present floor panels and floor panel assemblies that include incorporated burnthrough resistant materials and/or include burnthrough resistant layers applied to floor panels used in floor panel assemblies, along with methods for inhibiting fire penetration into compartments and methods of making and installing burnthrough resistant floor panels and floor assemblies including such apparatuses and methods as they relate to vehicles, including aircraft.

There is provided a training system capable of performing work. The system has a shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator exhibiting a generally planar transformational behavior. The system further has one or more heating elements for transforming the SMA actuator from an original shape to a trained shape, thereby performing work.

A method for manufacturing a resin sheet includes a coating step; a heating step; and a pressurizing step. In the coating step, linear metal nanomaterial is coated on a surface of a resin film having thermal plasticity. In the heating step, the resin film having the linear metal nanomaterial coated on the surface thereof is heated and softened. In the pressurizing step, the resin film having the linear metal nanomaterial coated on the surface thereof is pressurized to press the linear metal nanomaterial along a direction orthogonal to the surface on which the linear metal nanomaterial is coated. Thus, the coated linear metal nanomaterial penetrates the resin film to obtain the resin sheet containing the linear metal nanomaterial.

A leading edge section with laminar flow control includes: a perforated outer skin, a perforated inner skin, and a plurality of suction chambers formed between the outer skin and the inner skin. The leading edge section includes a plurality of stringers span-wise arranged at the leading edge section, and integrally formed with the outer skin, such that the inner skin is joined to the stringers. A method for manufacturing a leading edge section integrating a laminar flow control system is described, wherein a perforated inner skin is joined with a perforated outer skin having a plurality of stringers integrally formed with the outer skin, such that suction chambers are defined by a part of the outer skin, a part of the inner skin and a pair of stringers.

A heated floor panel assembly with an impact layer is made to absorb blunt force and protect a heating element inside the assembly. The assembly further includes a plurality of structural layer made of a reinforced polymer matrix, one or more core layer with a honeycomb or foam structure for absorbing shear stress, and a heating layer containing the heating element. The impact layer is a composite layer with a resin impregnated fiber matrix.

There is provided a laminated hybrid metallized polymer film for erosion protection of a composite structure. The laminated hybrid metallized polymer film includes a metal foil layer, a laminating adhesive layer underlying the metal foil layer, and a polymer film layer underlying the laminating adhesive layer. The polymer film layer is laminated to the metal foil layer with the laminating adhesive layer coupled between the metal foil layer and the polymer film layer. The laminated hybrid metallized polymer film further includes an adhesive layer underlying the polymer film layer. The adhesive layer adheres the polymer film layer to a substrate surface of the composite structure. The metal foil layer, the laminating adhesive layer, the polymer film layer, and the adhesive layer form the laminated hybrid metallized polymer film for application over and to the substrate surface of the composite structure.

Applicant discloses a two part polymer mix for use in the aircraft industry that is applied with pneumatic mix and spray gun. The two part cartridge is used in the mix and spray gun so the mix is applied immediately upon mixing, but the two components are kept separated unless the gun is applying the mix. The mix cures to form a clear sealant that allows for inspection of cracks and corrosion beneath the sealant. It cures quickly so that the coated part may be further processed, for example in the assembly line during aircraft build.
