Zusammenfassung:An object transport and stowage system for an aircraft ( 10 ) includes a transport unit ( 32 ) for the transport of an object ( 20 ) within the aircraft ( 10 ). A first transfer drive system ( 62 ) is attached to the transport unit ( 32 ) and includes object engagement devices ( 92 ) that are engagable with the object ( 20 ). A motor ( 120 ) is mechanically coupled to and rotates one or more of the object engagement devices ( 92 ). A controller ( 66 ) is electrically coupled to the motor ( 120 ) and translates the object ( 20 ) relative to the transport unit ( 32 ). Another object transport and stowage system for an aircraft ( 10 ) includes a housing ( 150 ) for the stowage of an object ( 20 ) on the aircraft ( 10 ). A transfer drive system ( 64 ) is attached to the housing ( 150 ) and includes object engagement devices ( 168, 176 ), which are engagable with the object ( 20 ). A motor ( 162 ) is mechanically coupled to and rotates one or more of the object engagement devices ( 168, 176 ). A controller ( 68 ) is electrically coupled to the motor ( 162 ) and translates the object ( 20 ) relative to the housing ( 150 ).
