CONFORMAL ACTUATOR OPERATED AIRCRAFT CARGO RESTRAINT MECHANISM

摘要

A cargo system is provided. The cargo system may comprise a floor panel, a cargo sled configured to move across the floor panel, and a cargo restraint configured to translate relative to the floor panel. The cargo restraint may comprise a longitudinal restraint rod configured to protrude from the floor panel in a deployed position. The cargo restraint may also comprise a restraint surface disposed on the longitudinal restraint rod. The cargo restraint may enable the cargo sled to pass over the restraint surface in a stowed position. An electromechanical actuator may be mechanically coupled to the longitudinal restraint rod and configured to deploy and stow the cargo restraint.
