Abstract: In one aspect, there is provided a rotary blade movement system including a retaining member configured to receive a rotor blade, a graspable arm, and a coupling mechanism operable to removably couple the retaining member to the graspable arm. The rotor blade movement system is configured to enable a user to adjust the position of the rotor blade by moving the graspable arm. The coupling mechanism can be a ball and socket joint. In one aspect, there is a method of rotating a rotor blade using a rotary blade movement system.

Abstract: Briefly, the disclosure relates to films, such as polyurethane films, which may be utilized to coat a windshield of an aircraft, such as a rotary-wing or a fixed-wing aircraft. In particular implementations, prior to application of a polyurethane film to an aircraft windshield, the polyurethane film may be exposed to an elevated temperature for an appropriate duration, which may operate to decrease stresses internal to the polyurethane film as well as to soften the polyurethane film. A slip solution may be applied to the aircraft windshield, so as to permit sliding of the polyurethane film relative to the windshield. After application of the slip solution, a tack solution may be applied, which may operate to remove the slip solution, thereby permitting the polyurethane film to be affixed to the windshield.
