20090309763 | Emergency lighting for a helicopter - An aircraft, in particular a helicopter, has light elements which are in the form of strips and are fitted to the edge of at least a number of windows. The light elements are provided with photoluminescent material. | 12-17-2009 |
20140300497 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN OBSTRUCTION LIGHT AND A WIND PARK FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH A METHOD - The invention concerns a method of controlling the flight lighting arrangement of a wind park by means of acoustic monitoring or wind park comprising one or more wind power installations, wherein the wind park has an acoustic monitoring device having a microphone arrangement, wherein the microphone arrangement records sound signals, noises or the like from the environment of the wind park and said sound signals are processed in a signal processing device connected to the microphone arrangement, wherein there is provided a switching device for switching on a flight lighting arrangement of at least one wind power installation of the wind park and the switching device is coupled to and controlled by the signal processing device so that the signal processing device causes the switching device to switch on the flight lighting arrangement if a sound signal of a flying object, for example an aircraft or a helicopter, is detected by means of the acoustic monitoring device, and/or a predetermined sound signal (for example sine sound) is superposed and/or falsified by the noises of the flying object. | 10-09-2014 |
20150298813 | DISTRESS BEACON SYSTEM FOR AN AIRCRAFT OR ANOTHER VEHICLE - A versatile distress beacon system for an aircraft, a ship or other vehicles, including a beacon and a mounting to provide the function of an automatic beacon or a survival beacon. The automatic distress beacon system includes a mounting rigidly attached to the structure of the aircraft and a beacon removably mounted on the mounting. The mounting includes an electronic management unit having a first connector to connect to the data bus and to control the aircraft to receive data from the data bus and orders to activate the beacon, and a second connector to connect to the beacon to transmit data and activation orders to same. The beacon having a memory module to store the transmitted data and a radio transmission module connected to a transmission antenna. The mounting has a detector to detect abnormal events connected to the electronic management unit, with a view to activating the beacon. | 10-22-2015 |
20160047880 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATION OF AIRCRAFT - A system and method are provided that includes an aircraft secondary radar transponder activity detector that monitors an aircraft's transponder transmissions and activates an emergency locator transmitter to begin transmitting should the aircraft transponder transmissions cease to help locate an aircraft that may have become undetectable by conventional aircraft surveillance and tracking systems. | 02-18-2016 |
20160155336 | MULTI-LINK TRANSPONDER FOR AIRCRAFT AND METHOD OF PROVIDING MULTI-LINK TRANSPONDER CAPABILITY TO AN AIRCRAFT HAVING AN EXISTING TRANSPONDER | 06-02-2016 |

20160068273 | DOWNED AIRCRAFT LOCATING SYSTEM - A system for locating a downed aircraft is provided. The system includes a canister. The canister has an internal housing and a door. The door covers an opening leading into the internal housing. The present invention includes a plurality of inflatable pods having a light and a battery powering the light. The pods include a deployed position and a stowed position. The stowed position includes the deflated pods within the canister and the deployed position includes the inflated pods released from the canister and inflated. When an aircraft is crashing, the canister may be released from the aircraft, the pods may be released from the canister and inflated, and the light may be powered. | 03-10-2016 |
