A test apparatus is provided for testing a sensorless check device of an actuator. The sensorless check device is arranged to be used by mechanically moving a check device pin from a resting position to an actuation position and then releasing the check device pin to allow it to return to a resting position urged by an elastic return mechanism. The test apparatus comprises: a piston for contact with an actuator surface associated with the check device pin; a piston spring for urging the piston toward the actuator surface, wherein the piston spring is softer than the elastic return mechanism of the check device; and an adjustment and testing mechanism.

An aircraft with stealth double wings comprises a main body and stealth double wings. The main body has two main wings respectively having a surface into which a space is formed. The stealth double wings respectively are located in the spaces and include a first and a second rotating shaft, a link rod, a first and a second wing. The link rod has two ends respectively connected with the two rotating shafts. The two rotating shafts respectively have another end connected with the first and second wings. Thereby, when the first wing is moved to cover and enclose the space's opening, the second wing is driven to be located within the space, and when the first wing is moved upwardly away from the space, the second wing is driven to cover and enclose the space's opening, so as to keep the surface intact.

A trim actuator for a horizontal stabilizer comprises a power screw, a rotary actuator, configured to rotate the power screw, and a nut, configured to translate along the power screw when the power screw is rotated. Trim actuator also comprises an anti-back-drive mechanism, configured to prevent the power screw from rotating in a first rotational direction when a first force is applied to the nut in a first axial direction and to prevent the power screw from rotating in a second rotational direction, opposite the first rotational direction, when a second force is applied to the nut in a second axial direction. Trim actuator further comprises a sensor, configured to measure internal loading of the anti-back-drive mechanism when the first force is applied to the nut in the first axial direction or when the second force is applied to the nut in the second axial direction.

An unmanned aerial vehicle with deployable components (UAVDC) is disclosed. The system may include a sweeping gearbox designed to deploy at least one wing from a compact to a deployed arrangement. A controller may be configured to detect launch conditions, monitor for conditions, and trigger the gearbox upon condition fulfillment. Activation of the sweeping gearbox may result in wing deployment, adapted to the detected conditions. The method may involve deploying wings using the sweeping gearbox, launching detection, monitoring for conditions, and activating the gearbox for wing deployment upon condition detection.
