Title: Adjustable throttle pedal assembly
Inventor: GARY STEPHEN ELLIOT
IPC: G05G5/03
Filed: 2019-05-02
Abstract: An adjustable throttle pedal assembly comprising a depressible throttle pedal 5 biased away from the depressed position towards a rest position, and an electromagnetic brake 14 operable to adjust the force required to depress the throttle pedal. The electromagnetic brake can provide an increased force to act as a "virtual footrest", a "virtual kick-down switch", or an "ICE force-indent", providing an increased force at the point at which the vehicle will need to start the internal combustion engine (ICE). The electromagnetic brake could be adjustable to provide different customisable “pedal-weight" settings, to suit a driver's preferred force feedback. The electromagnetic brake may include a rotatable friction plate 16 coupled to the throttle pedal and a static electromagnet 15 coupled to a mount 6, whereby increasing voltage to the electromagnet increases attraction between friction plate and mount, increasing the force required to depress the pedal. User-selectable inputs may also be utilised.

Title: In-flight transfer of reactant from a towing or carrying airplane to an attached rocket or rocketplane
Inventor: JOHN A BURGENER
IPC: B64G1/14
Filed: 2018-09-19
Abstract: A high altitude vehicle is brought to a desired altitude above sea-level prior to the transfer of fuel and/or oxidant from an airplane to the high altitude vehicle. The high altitude vehicle may be towed to the desired altitude by a tow airplane or may reach the desired altitude under its own power. At the desired altitude, the high altitude vehicle is connected to the tow airplane via a tow cable. Alternatively, the high altitude vehicle may be mechanically carried by the tow airplane. Fuel and/or oxidant is transferred to the high altitude vehicle from the tow airplane via respective fuel and/or oxidant lines. The high altitude vehicle then separates from the tow airplane and proceeds to high altitude under its own power. The high altitude vehicle weighs less and may have smaller wings than a comparable vehicle configured for self-powered, fully fueled flight from takeoff.
