    摘要: Embodiments are directed to causing, by a computing device comprising a processor, a rotating tail rotor to operate in a tail rotor mode when an aircraft is operating at a speed less than a rudder control power threshold, receiving, by the computing device, a command that indicates a request to transition the aircraft, determining, by the computing device, that a rudder of the aircraft has control power in an amount greater than a second threshold based on receiving the command, and causing, by the computing device, the rotating tail rotor to operate in a pusher propeller mode based on determining that the rudder has control power in the amount greater than the second threshold.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for controlling yaw of a rotorcraft in the event of one or both of low airspeed and engine failure are disclosed. A yaw propulsion provides a yaw moment at low speeds. The yaw propulsion device may be an air jet or a fan. A pneumatic fan may be driven by compressed air released into a channel surrounding an outer portion of the fan. The fan may be driven by hydraulic power. Power for the yaw propulsion device and other system may be provided by a hydraulic pump and/or generator engaging the rotor. Low speed yaw control may be provided by auxiliary rudders positioned within the stream tube of a prop. The auxiliary rudders may one or both of fold down and disengage from rudder controls when not in use.

    摘要: An aircraft tail rotor system is provided and includes a rotating element, a translating element and a structure including a first bearing in series with a second bearing, the first bearing including a component rotatable with and movable within the rotating element in accordance with translational movement of the translating element. The structure is configured to selectively use the second bearing to prevent transmission of rotational energy from the rotating element to the translating element in an event of a seizing of the first bearing.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a rotorcraft includes a main rotor system, an anti-torque rotor system, an anti-torque rudder system, and an anti-torque control system. The anti-torque rudder system includes at least one rudder surface operable to provide a second force on the body in the direction of rotation of the at least one main rotor blade. The anti-torque control system is operable to receive a request to change an amount of anti-torque force applied to the body, compare a rotorcraft performance parameter to a threshold value, instruct one of the anti-torque rotor system or the anti-torque rudder system to change the amount of the first force if the rotorcraft performance parameter is less than the threshold value, and, if the rotorcraft performance parameter is greater than the threshold value, instruct the other of the anti-torque rotor system or the anti-torque rudder system to change the amount of the second force.

The flange includes a plurality of first holes configured to at least partially align between the splines of the washer. A lock plate includes a body and a plurality of tabs extending generally perpendicularly from the body. The lock plate is slidably positioned about the pitch change shaft adjacent the flange. The lock plate is operably coupled to the retaining nut and the washer to limit rotational movement thereof relative to the pitch change shaft.
