Abstract: A rotor blade configured to be installed on a rotary-wing aircraft includes a main blade body including an inboard end configured to be coupled to a rotor blade hub and an outboard end. The rotor blade includes a blade tip removably coupled to the outboard end of the main blade body, the blade tip including an inner cavity. The rotor blade further includes a tip block including an inboard portion coupled to the outboard end of the main blade body and a cantilevered portion extending beyond the outboard end of the rotor blade and into the inner cavity of the blade tip.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electrical conductor assembly includes attaching a substrate and at least one electrical conductor to a cable assembly machine, tensioning the substrate, and holding the substrate stationary while wrapping the at least one electrical conductor around the substrate. The at least one electrical conductor is wrapped around the substrate independent of the tension on the substrate.

Abstract: A rotor blade for a rotary wing aircraft includes a leading edge and a trailing edge defining a chordwise direction. The leading edge defines a forward end of the rotor blade and the trailing edge defines an aft end of the rotor blade. The rotor blade has a center of gravity and an aerodynamic center along the chordwise direction. The center of gravity is aft of the aerodynamic center.

Abstract: An electrical conductor assembly for a rotor blade includes a substrate and at least one electrical conductor. The substrate includes an inboard end portion and an outboard end portion. The at least one electrical conductor is attached to the substrate and extends between the inboard end portion and the outboard end portion. The at least one electrical conductor is configured to transmit electricity along a length of the rotor blade. The inboard end portion and the outboard end portion are structured such that when the electrical conductor assembly is installed within the rotor blade, the inboard end portion is securable relative to the rotor blade and the outboard end portion is movable relative to the rotor blade.

Abstract: A structural member for use in a rotor system which rotates about a rotational axis includes a pin which extends substantially perpendicular to the rotational axis, a filler component positioned adjacent the pin, and a plurality of layers of composite material having fibers oriented lengthwise along a central axis which is perpendicular to the rotational axis. The plurality of fibers in the layers of composite material is wrapped about the pin and the filler component such that the fibers extend along the central axis and the plurality of layers form an opening filled by the filler component and which decreases as a function of distance from the pin along the central axis.

Abstract: A method of modifying a rotor blade is provided for a rotor blade including a spar having an inboard portion with a substantially constant overall height, the inboard portion further including a top layer having a substantially constant first thickness and a bottom layer having a substantially constant second thickness. The method includes removing a root portion of the inboard portion to thereby modify the rotor blade and installing a cuff configured to couple to the rotor blade to an aircraft.

Abstract: A rotor blade includes a spar with forward end, an aft end, and a substantially oval cross-section. The cross-section includes an upper portion tapering from a first thickness to a smaller, second thickness beginning between about 55% and about 65% of the distance to the aft end from the forward end and ending between about 65% and about 75% of the distance to the aft end measured from the forward end, and a lower portion tapering from a third thickness to a smaller, fourth thickness beginning between about 55% and about 65% of the distance to the aft end from the forward end and ending between about 65% and about 75% of the distance to the aft end measured from the forward end. The rotor blade further includes an upper blade skin, a lower blade skin, and a leading edge sheath.
