    摘要: A damping device is described that is designed to counter the transmission of vibrations to a further element and comprises: a beam element, which extends mainly parallel to an axis, is constrained to the further element and is designed to flexurally oscillate, in use, in a plane parallel to the axis to counter the transmission of vibrations to the further element; an actuator, which comprises a transmission element operatively connected to the beam element and extending mainly along the axis; the actuator being controllable to apply a direct tensile or compressive load along the axis on the transmission element that is variable according to the frequency of the vibrations to be dampened.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: A rotor for a hover-capable aircraft includes a hub rotatable about a first axis and at least two blades hinged to the hub. Each blade has 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.
