Abstract: One embodiment of a coaxial transmission/center hub subassembly for a rotor assembly having ducted, coaxial counter-rotating rotors includes a single stage transmission, a transmission housing, and a center hub support structure that are structurally and functionally interactive. The transmission housing includes upper and lower standpipe housings secured in combination with a middle housing. The single stage transmission includes an input pinion gear rotatably mounted in combination with the middle housing, and upper and lower spiral bevel gears rotatably coupled in combination with the input pinion gear to provide counter-rotation thereof. The spiral bevel gears include integral rotor shafts, respectively, rotatably mounted in the standpipe housings. The hub support structure is configured for securement of the middle housing internally in combination therewith, with respective surfaces thereof in abutting engagement so that dynamic loads of the rotors and thermal loads are directly coupled into the hub support structure via the middle housing while bending moments of the rotors are canceled in the middle housing. The hub support structure has radially extending arms for mounting the coaxial transmission/center hub subassembly in fixed coaxial relation to an airframe structure and for coupling the dynamic and thermal loads to the airframe structure. External surfaces of the standpipe housings function as sliding surfaces for linear motion of swashplate subassemblies to minimize the separation between the rotors so that the airframe structure has a compact aerodynamic and structural envelope. The transmission housing is internally configured to provide a splash lubrication subsystem.

Abstract: A snubber assembly for a rotor assembly having ducted, coaxial counter-rotating rotors that is design optimized to facilitate utilization of a self-aligning bearing and for installation inboard of the corresponding flexbeam-to-rotor hub attachment joint, thereby enhancing accessibility and reducing maintenance costs. The rotor hub of the rotor assembly is design optimized for securing the snubber assembly in combination therewith and includes a plurality of arms, each arm forming an outboard clevis for attaching the rotor assembly flexbeam to the rotor hub. Inboard of the clevis, each rotor hub arm includes an outboard internal bulkhead having a bolt hole therethrough and an inboard internal bulkhead having a bolt hole therethrough. The inboard and outboard internal bulkheads in combination define a bearing cavity and an internal cavity for securing the snubber assembly in combination with the rotor hub. The snubber assembly includes a spherical self-aligning bearing, a bearing bolt, a locking nut, a snubber bracket secured in combination with the spherical bearing, and securing bolts. The spherical bearing, snubber bracket combination is rotatably mounted within the bearing cavity utilizing the bearing bolt. The bearing bolt is secured in combination with the rotor hub utilizing the locking nut, which is threaded onto the bearing bolt in the internal cavity to jam against the inboard internal bulkhead. The securing bolts are utilized to secure the snubber bracket in combination with the corresponding integrated torque tube/spar member of the rotor assembly.
