    Abstract: An electro-hydraulic on-blade actuation system includes a pair of linear motors, a pair of flexible bladders and a pair of hydraulic units. Each linear motor outputs linear force in response to input. The pair of flexible bladders attach to opposite sides of a rotorcraft blade. Each hydraulic unit connects a linear motor to a flexible bladder to hydraulically transmit the linear force of the linear motor to the flexible bladder to actuate the rotorcraft blade.

    Abstract: Some examples of techniques to cost-effectively embed fiber optic cables in laminate structures and to terminate the fiber optic cables on the surface of the laminate for robust and easily-repairable connections can be implemented in rotorcraft composites. To position a cable in the rotorcraft composite, a length of a fiber optic cable is embedded between layers of a composite rotorcraft material. The length of the fiber optic cable is oriented in a substantially S-shape between the layers. An end of the length of the substantially S-shaped fiber optic cable is extended to an edge of the composite rotorcraft material. The end of the length of the substantially S-shaped fiber optic cable is terminated at the edge of the composite rotorcraft material in either a storage area or easily machinable embedded connection.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a rotor blade rotation system includes a hub, a rotor blade in mechanical communication with the hub and pivotable about an axis of rotation, a swashplate, a pitch link, and an actuator. The swashplate includes a rotating portion and a non-rotating portion. The pitch link is coupled to the rotating portion of the swashplate and in mechanical communication with the rotor blade. The actuator is coupled to the non-rotating portion of the swashplate and operable to reposition the swashplate from a first position to a second position such that the pitch links pivot the rotor blade from a deployed position to a folded position.
