    摘要: One example of a rotorcraft blade control system includes a mechanical linkage (117a,b) to connect to a rotorcraft blade (104) including a feather axis (150) and a pneumatic muscle (107a,b) connected to the mechanical linkage (117a,b). The system also includes a movement member connected to the mechanical linkage (117a,b), the pneumatic muscle (107a,b) and the movement member to move the mechanical linkage (117a,b) to control movement of the rotorcraft blade (104) on the feather axis (150). The pneumatic muscle (107a,b) can be a first pneumatic muscle and the movement member can be a second pneumatic muscle or a bias spring.

    摘要: A system (100) and method (500) for controlling an aircraft propeller (30) are provided. In anticipation of a condition in which a parameter related to an angle of a plurality of blades of the propeller (30) reaches a value beyond a predetermined threshold, a first control signal is output comprising instructions to actuate a feather valve (102) operatively coupled to an actuator (103) configured to adjust the angle in response to hydraulic pressure, thereby causing the feather valve (102) to provide the hydraulic pressure to the actuator (103) and the angle to be adjusted for bringing the parameter towards the threshold. When the parameter reaches the predetermined threshold, a second control signal is output comprising instructions to hold the feather valve (102) at a position in which the hydraulic pressure is withheld from the actuator (103), thereby causing the angle to remain unchanged.

    摘要: Vibration control systems, devices, and methods are provided for a rotary wing aircraft having a rotor including a plurality of blades (20) each attached to a hub (10) at its root end and capable of pitching with respect to the hub (10). The systems, devices, and methods include a blade pitch adjuster (100) that is passively adjustable in response to aerodynamic loading on the plurality of blades (20) to adjust a pitch of one of the plurality of blades (20) with respect to the hub (10) based on a frequency of the aerodynamic loading. The blade pitch adjusters (100) can be configured to exhibit relatively high stiffness at the rotor rotating frequency and tailored dynamics at frequencies higher than the rotor rotating frequency such that hub loads at one or more higher harmonics are reduced.

    摘要: An autopilot actuator includes first and second motors each including a rotatable motor output shaft such that either one or both of the motors can drive an actuator output shaft. An autopilot main unit enclosure is removably mounted to the helicopter proximate to a cyclic control and commonly houses autopilot actuators as well as main autopilot electronics. A cyclic vibration isolator is removably supported by an actuator shaft for corotation and coupled to the cyclic control to attenuate a cyclic vibration frequency at the actuator shaft while output rotations of the actuator shaft below a resonant frequency are coupled to the cyclic control. A force limited link includes first and second ends and a variable length between. The force limited link having a relaxed length when less than an unseating force is applied and the variable length changes when an applied force exceeds the unseating force to permit pilot override.
