    摘要: A method comprises providing six helicopters. Each helicopter has a fuselage, a main rotor assembly extending out from the fuselage and rotatable about a main rotor axis, and four main rotor blades coupled to the main rotor assembly. The main rotor blades of each helicopter are moveable relative to the main rotor assembly between a deployed position and a stowed position. The deployed position is a position in which the four main rotor blades extend radially from the main rotor. The main rotor blades have a blade rotor diameter of at least forty seven feet when in the deployed position. The four main rotor blades are coupled to the main rotor assembly when in the stowed position. The method further comprises positioning the six helicopters relative to each other such that all six of the helicopters are simultaneously contained within a parallelepiped region having a height of less than fifteen feet, a width of less than twenty feet, and a length of less than one hundred forty five feet. The four main rotor blades of each of the six helicopters are in their stowed positions when the six helicopters are simultaneously contained within the parallelepiped region.

    摘要: In an exemplary variable area nozzle, a fixed duct section has an inlet and an outlet oriented approximately perpendicular to the inlet. A controllable nozzle member is disposed adjacent the outlet of the fixed duct section. The controllable nozzle member has an area that is adjustable to maintain a substantially constant nozzle pressure ratio. The controllable nozzle member may include first and second flap doors hinged and pivotable in opposite directions between an open position and a closed position and that also may be hinged and pivotable in a same direction so thrust from gas exiting the nozzle is vectorable. When disposed in rotor tips of an aircraft capable of rotary wing flight and fixed wing flight, the variable area nozzle may maintain a substantially constant nozzle pressure ratio near an optimized nozzle pressure ratio as the aircraft transitions from rotary wing flight to fixed wing flight.

    摘要: A set of analytic forms provide empirical data used to determine the material properties of a part following its fabrication. Multiple of families of the forms are identically processed to provide a variety of data, including the reaction of the part material to compression, tension and bending stresses. The forms in each family have a structural feature that singularizes the directional effect of gravity on a test cross section of the material. The dimensions of the test cross section progressively vary within each family so that data can be generated for multiple levels of stress.
