摘要: A replacement tip section for a rotor blade, from which a legacy tip section was removed, includes a blade tip portion configured to be attached to an intermediate section of the rotor blade after removal of the legacy section. The intermediate section has a connection feature at an end of the intermediate section to which the blade tip portion is attachable. The replacement tip section includes a transition region configured to be attached to a forward end of the connection feature. The transition region is configured to form a leading edge of the rotor blade and extends from the blade tip portion to form an opening into which the intermediate section is attached. The transition region includes a first end having a first airfoil that conforms to the intermediate section airfoil at the connection feature, and a second end having a second airfoil that conforms to the blade tip portion.

摘要: A rotor blade retention assembly is configured to connect a rotor blade to a central hub comprising a hub arm coupled to and extending radially outward from a hub bowl. The hub arm includes a hub arm lug. The rotor blade retention assembly includes a tension-torsion strap with an inboard end and an outboard end, the inboard end including an inboard pin hole and the outboard end including an outboard pin hole. The rotor blade retention assembly further includes an inboard blade pin and an outboard blade pin. The inboard blade pin is configured to extend through the hub arm lug and the inboard pin hole and to couple the inboard end of the tension-torsion strap to the hub arm. The outboard blade pin is configured to extend through a blade lug of a rotor blade and the outboard pin hole and to couple the outboard end of the tension-torsion strap to the rotor blade.
