    Abstract: A rotor for a hover-capable aircraft is described that comprises: a hub rotatable about a first axis and at least two blades hinged to the hub; each blade comprises a main portion hinged to the hub and a tip portion, which is arranged radially outermost with respect to first axis with respect to the corresponding main portion; the tip portion of each blade is movable with respect to the corresponding main portion of that blade; the tip portion of each blade is selectively movable with respect to the corresponding main portion of that blade between a first position, in which it defines a dihedral or anhedral angle with respect to the corresponding main portion; and a second position, in which it defines a positive or negative sweep angle with respect to the corresponding main portion.

    Abstract: A turret includes a firearm, which is configured to shoot munitions. A support assembly supports the firearm and is configured to move the firearm about an azimuthal rotation or swiveling axis (Y) and about a zenithal rotation or elevation axis (X). A munition guidance device mounts on the support assembly and is configured to direct a precision-guided munition, which is shot by the firearm towards a target. A protection apparatus is mounted on the support assembly and is configured to assume: a covering condition, in which the protection apparatus hides the munition guidance device on the inside of the support assembly; and an opening condition, in which the protection apparatus exposes the munition guidance device on the outside of the support assembly.

    Abstract: A firearm support system is adapted to be installed in a vehicle, in particular an aircraft. The vehicle includes a compartment to accommodate the crew. The compartment has: a bearing surface, an upper structure rising above the bearing surface, and an opening, through which a firearm shoots. The support system includes: an anchoring portion, for being fixed to the upper structure and located in the compartment; a mobile support, which is coupled to the anchoring portion in a mobile manner, is adapted for receiving the firearm, and allows the firearm to move between an operating position, in which the firearm is ready to shoot through the opening, and a non-operating position, in which the firearm is retracted.

    Abstract: A sealing ring for a seal assembly is described that comprises: a main body rotating about an axis; and a first surface, which is defined by the main body, extends transversely to the axis and is suitable for abutting against a further sealing ring in a direction parallel to the axis; the first surface comprises a plurality of grooves forming respective hydropads; the grooves are delimited by a first edge and a second edge facing one another; the first edge and the second edge delimit the grooves in a circumferential direction to said axis; at least one of the first edge and the second edge is shaped like an elliptical arc, which has coincident or separate foci;comprises first grooves and second grooves alternating with one another in a circumferential direction to said axis and staggered from each other in a radial direction to said axis.

    Abstract: An aircraft is described comprising a transmission unit with a first module and a lubrication system; the first module comprises a casing and a movable member; the lubrication system comprises a header, a nozzle fed with the lubricating fluid and designed to feed the lubricating fluid inside the casing of the first module, a collection tank for the lubricating fluid injected by the nozzle, and recirculation means designed to cause the recirculation of the lubricating fluid from the collection tank to the feed header; the first module comprises a valve available in a first configuration, in which it enables the outflow of said lubricating fluid from said module to the recirculation means when the pressure of the lubricating fluid inside the header is greater than a threshold value; and in a second configuration, in which it fluidically isolates the module from the recirculation means when the pressure of the lubricating fluid inside the header is less than the threshold value.
