Abstract: A system for an aircraft includes a tiltable proprotor that is tiltable between a lift position for providing lift for the aircraft and a forward flight position for providing forward propulsion for the aircraft is provided. The system includes at least one actuator for adjusting a tilt angle of the tiltable proprotor; and at least one passive damper connected to the tiltable proprotor and configured to limit a rate of change of the tilt angle of the tiltable proprotor.

Abstract: A system includes a first frame for mounting to the aircraft; a second frame for mounting the proprotor, the second frame being rotatably mounted to the first frame; a first gear located along the rotation axis of the second frame and fixed in position relative to the first frame; a pinion that moves with the second frame and engages the first gear such that the pinion revolves around the first gear, causing the pinion to rotate; a cam that is fixedly connected to the pinion such that the cam rotates with the pinion; and a control rod operatively coupled at a first end with the cam such that rotation of the cam can cause translation of the control rod, wherein the control rod can be coupled at a second end to the blades of the proprotor such that translation of the control rod alters the pitch of the blades.
