    摘要: A hanger bearing assembly for a shaft assembly includes a plurality of bearing elements arranged around a circumference of a shaft assembly, each bearing element having a bearing element diameter. A bearing inner race is positioned between the plurality of bearing elements and the shaft assembly and extends circumferentially about the shaft assembly. The bearing inner race includes an outer wall interactive with the plurality of bearing elements. The outer wall has a linear profile extending in an axial direction. A bearing outer race is positioned radially outboard of the plurality of bearing elements and extends circumferentially about the shaft assembly. The bearing outer race includes an inner surface interactive with the plurality of bearing elements and having a curvilinear inner surface profile extending in the axial direction.

    摘要: A method of controlling a deflection angle of pitching stabilizer means for an aircraft. The method includes a preliminary stage for preparing at least one control relationship delivering a setpoint angle that is to be reached by the deflection angle as a function of at least one flight parameter of the aircraft and of an incidence parameter of the pitching stabilizer means. During an operational stage an operational stage (STP2), a “flight” value is determined for each of the flight parameters, a “setpoint” value is determined for the incidence parameter, a setpoint angle is determined by inputting the flight values and setpoint value into the control relationship, and at least one actuator is actuated in order to cause the deflection angle of the pitching stabilizer means to reach the setpoint angle.

    摘要: Embodiments of the invention include a vehicle including an engine and a rotor including a plurality of rotor blades in a path of exhaust from the engine. The vehicle includes a rotor control assembly configured to connect the rotor to a rotation force source to rotate the rotor and configured to rotate the rotor at a prescribed minimum rotation rate greater than zero based on at least one of disengaging the rotor from the rotation force source and receiving a control signal to disengage the rotor from the rotation force source. The rotor control assembly is designed to rotate the rotor at the prescribed minimum rotation rate based on at least one system attribute of the vehicle that is affected by a rotation rate of the rotor.

    摘要: One aspect is a flight control system for a rotary wing aircraft including a main rotor system and an elevator control system. A flight control computer of the flight control system includes processing circuitry configured to execute control logic. The control logic includes an inverse plant model that produces a main rotor feed forward command based on a pitch rate command, and a load alleviation control filter configured to reduce loads on a main rotor system and produce an elevator command for an elevator control system. A transformed elevator command filter produces a main rotor pitch adjustment command based on the elevator command, and a main rotor command generator generates an augmented main rotor feed forward command for the main rotor system based on the main rotor feed forward command and the main rotor pitch adjustment command.

    摘要: A propulsion system for a ducted fan vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (VTOL) powered by multiple electric motors with two, counter rotating electric motors comprising the primary thrust generation within a ducted fan component and 3 or more external electric motors providing lift, stability and directional control of the aircraft. Through the use of counter rotating ducted fans, the aircraft does not require the need for internal stators—either fixed or adjustable angle. Power to the electric motors is sourced by either onboard batteries, a ground based power source via a ground to aircraft tether, or an on board fuel cell or combustion engine driving an alternator.

    摘要: A translational thrust system for a rotary wing aircraft is provided including a propeller system. The propeller system includes more than one pair of propeller blades extending radially outward from a rotatable propeller hub. Each pair of propeller blades includes a first propeller blade and a second propeller blade arranged diametrically opposite one another about a circumference of the propeller hub. Each pair of propeller blades is arranged at an angle to an adjacent pair of propeller blades such that the angle is less than is the pairs of propeller blades were uniformly distributed around the circumference of the propeller hub.
