FILAMENT WINDING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A pressure testing system for a hollow component, such as a component formed by a filament winding system and method, includes an outer frame defining a base, and a support mechanism coupled to the base and having at least one movable platform for supporting the hollow component within the outer frame.
Bulkheads for air data probes
An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. A port opening is defined in the forward tip. A first conduit is in fluid communication with the port opening to guide fluid flow from the port opening to a first chamber. The first chamber is downstream from the port opening. A second conduit, offset radially and circumferentially from the first conduit, is in fluid communication with the first chamber to guide fluid flow from the first chamber to a second chamber. The second chamber is downstream from the first chamber. The offset between the first and second conduits is configured to prevent particle ingestion from the port opening from entering the second conduit.
Blockage preventing and heated air data probe
An air data probe includes a probe head defining a longitudinal axis between a forward tip and aft base. A port opening is defined in a side of the probe head and opening at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis. A bulkhead within the probe head has a chamber in fluid communication with the port opening. The chamber includes a single chamber inlet having an elongated cross-sectional shape. The single elongated chamber inlet is in fluid communication with two downstream pressure conduits to provide redundancy in case one of the two pressure conduits is blocked.

FILAMENT WINDING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A filament winding system, components, and methods include a rotatable mandrel and a filament source with a set of filaments for wrapping about the rotatable mandrel and forming a component. The filament winding system can also include a mandrel assembly, a tensioner assembly for the set of filaments, and a cutting assembly.

Flexible Yarn Spool Winding System
The invention is a flexible spool that serves as both yarn winder and storage vessel. The invention comes with an adapter made of plastic imbedded with a magnetic hex head attachment for use with a power drill or power screwdriver. When used, the invention protects yarn from tangles, knots, dust and debris and allows the user to knit with a continuous, easy feed of yarn from the beginning to the conclusion of a project.
