Line-of-sight apparatus locking arrangement

Abstract: The present invention regards a line-of-sight apparatus locking arrangement (3) for demountable securing a line-of-sight apparatus (1, 5, 5', 5") to said arrangement (3), comprising a locking device (11, 80) for locking the apparatus (1, 5, 5', 5") to the arrangement (3) comprises a handle member (15, 15') ) adapted for attachment to a rotation mechanism (17, 81) coupled to a translation mechanism (25, 87) adapted for, during manoeuvre of the locking device, converting rotational motion into translator motion, a pressing portion (27) of the translation mechanism (25, 87) is provided for abutment against an abutment area (AA) of the apparatus (1, 5, 5', 5"). The translation mechanism (25, 87) comprises a resilient member (29) provided for urging said pressing portion (27) against the abutment area (AA).

Method and device for the alignment of a weapon with a weapon simulator mounted on the weapon

Abstract: The present invention relates to an alignment device and method for alignment of a weapon (2) with a weapon simulator (1) mounted on the weapon. The weapon is provided with a sight (3) oriented along a sighting axis (8). The weapon simulator is equipped with a first device arranged to emit an electromagnetic simulator beam (4) exiting along a simulator axis (5). The device and method are characterized in that a second device is arranged to generate an alignment beam (6) along an alignment axis (7), wherein the angle between the simulator axis and the alignment axis (7) is fixed and known. Further, a reflection device is arranged to reflect the alignment beam (6) into the sight, and means of adjustment are arranged to collectively guide the alignment axis (7) and the simulator axis (5) during the alignment of the simulator axis (5) with the sight (3) so that the said axes during the alignment maintain the fixed relative angular relationship. This makes it possible for a firer to easily align the simulator axis to the sighting axis with the aid of the means of adjustment while looking through the sight.

A reinforced structure and a method for manufacturing a reinforced structure

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reinforced structure (1) and a method for manufacturing a reinforced structure (1) of composite material. The reinforced structure (1) comprises a stiffening element (2) which is attached to the concave surface (37) of a shell element (3). The stiffening element (2) comprises a first profile (5A) and a second profile (5B) connected to each other and forming a web (9). The stiffening element (2) further comprises a reinforcing element (7) of composite material having at least one forming bulge (21) on each of its respective sides (31and 33). The forming bulges (21) extend from an outer edge (27) of the reinforcing element (7) to an inner edge (29) of reinforcing element (7). The height of the at least two forming bulges (21) is highest at the outer edge (27), tapers towards the inner edge (29) and is levelled out at the inner edge (29). The reinforcing element (7) is positioned between the first profile (5A) and the second profile (5B) and forms the web (9) of the stiffening element (2).

Nonlinear Flight Control Design and Analysis Challenge

Abstract: This chapter gives a description of the requirements on the design and analysis of new Flight Control Laws (FCL’s) for the ADMIRE model. The ADMIRE model is currently augmented with “conventional” FCL’s. These are to be replaced with new FCL’s based on new non-linear design methods. The current ADMIRE FCL’s shall be used for the purposes of comparison with the new FCL’s. The objective of the design task is to show the potential of different non-linear methods for aircraft flight control.
