    摘要: An improved feathering flexure for a helicopter rotor system yoke includes, in transverse cross section, a relatively thin central web and six relatively thin flanges. Three flanges extend from each of the web's two edges, and the flanges lie in planes which are approximately radial relative to the neutral feathering axis of the feathering flexure. The feathering flexure is constructed of fiberglass material embedded in a polymer matrix. The web's fiberglass material in the web is bias material, that is, material whose glass fibers are oriented at plus or minus 45 degrees relative to the yoke's spanwise axis. In transverse cross section, each of the flanges includes two unidirectional belts disposed on either side of a bias pack. The glass fibers in the unidirectional belts are oriented parallel to the yoke's spanwise axis. The fiberglass material in the bias packs is bias material. Each flange's unidirectional belts taper inwardly toward its bias pack adjacent to web, thereby decreasing the thickness of the flange adjacent to the web. In addition, the portion of each flange adjacent to the web is configured to minimize torsional rigidity and shear stress resulting from twisting the feathering flexure.

    摘要翻译: 用于直升机转子系统轭的改进的羽化挠曲在横截面中包括相对薄的中心腹板和六个相对薄的凸缘。 三个凸缘从每个腹板的两个边缘延伸,并且凸缘位于相对于羽化挠曲件的中性羽化轴线大致径向的平面中。 羽化挠曲由嵌入聚合物基体中的玻璃纤维材料构成。 幅材中的纤维网玻璃纤维材料是偏压材料,即玻璃纤维相对于轭的翼展轴线以正或负45度取向的材料。 在横截面中,每个凸缘包括设置在偏置组件的任一侧上的两个单向皮带。 单向带中的玻璃纤维平行于轭的翼展轴定向。 偏置组件中的玻璃纤维材料是偏压材料。 每个凸缘的单向带向内逐渐朝着与卷材相邻的偏压组件向内逐渐变细,从而减小了与卷材相邻的凸缘的厚度。 另外,与腹板相邻的每个凸缘的部分被构造成使扭转刚度和由于弯曲挠曲而产生的剪切应力最小化。

    摘要: The present application includes a main rotor assembly for an aircraft. The rotor assembly has a main rotor mast configured for rotation about a mast axis and two yokes pivotally connected to the mast for rotation therewith about the mast axis. Each yoke is independently pivotable relative to the mast about at least one flap axis that is generally perpendicular to the mast axis. In at least one embodiment, a torque splitter connects the yokes and allows for limited rotation of the yokes relative to each other about the mast axis. Each yoke is configured for the attachment of rotor blades extending generally radially relative to the mast axis.

    摘要: A rotor assembly for a rotary-wing aircraft, the rotor having a central hub assembly with a flexure-type, twist-shank yoke with multiple arms, each arm being adapted for a rotor blade to be mounted thereto. The arms provide for pitch changes of blades attached to the yoke through twisting of portions of the arms about a corresponding pitch axis. An inboard pitch bearing associated with each arm is attached to the hub assembly and allows for rotation of the attached blade about the pitch axis, the inboard pitch bearing also allowing for out-of-plane motion of the arm relative to the hub assembly about a flapping axis. An outboard pitch bearing associated with each arm is attached to the associated arm a selected distance from the inboard pitch bearing and allows for rotation of the attached blade about the pitch axis.

    摘要: A constant-velocity drive system for an aircraft rotor has a gimbal mechanism and a differential torque-combining mechanism. The gimbal mechanism has gimbals driven in rotation by a rotor mast about a mast axis, the gimbals providing for gimballing relative to the mast about gimbal axes generally perpendicular to the mast axis. The differential torque-combining mechanism is connected to the gimbal mechanism and configured to be driven in rotation about the mast axis by the gimbal mechanism. The differential mechanism is capable of gimballing relative to the mast about the gimbal axes, the differential torque-combining mechanism having an output component attached to a yoke of the rotor for driving the yoke in rotation with the differential torque-combining mechanism.
