    摘要: A rotor blade having a detachable fairing is disclosed. The rotor blade includes leading and trailing edge fairings secured to the blade spar and one or more control lines extending between of the fairings and the blade spar. A detachable fairing extends from one or both of the leading and trailing edge fairings toward one of the distal and proximal ends of the blade spar. The detachable fairing and blade spar form an airfoil contour. The detachable fairing may secure to a tip jet attachment fitting at a distal end of the blade spar. A mounting structure including upper and lower plates may secure near a proximal end of the blade spar and the detachable fairing may secure to both the upper and lower plates to form all or part of an airfoil contour. The mounting structure may include a spherical seat engaging a spherical surface of a hub shroud.

    摘要: A fairing system may be assembled about a rotor of a rotorcraft to present an aerodynamically quasi-static region that rotates in an airstream, as well as certain extensions that sweep through the airstream as the rotor hub passes through the air. A spherical interface between the extensions on the rotor hub fairing and the base or root portion of each blade fairing provides three degrees of freedom permitting lead-lag, flapping, and blade pitch pivoting in the blade, while still maintaining an aerodynamic profile that will minimize drag.

    摘要: A rotor blade assembly is disclosed including a blade spar having a duct extending therethrough and having upper and lower surfaces. A mounting structure is secured to the blade spar and defines a fluid path in fluid communication with the duct. The mounting structure likewise has upper and lower surfaces. A tip jet is secured to the mounting structure in fluid communication with the fluid path. The blade spar and mounting structure abut one another at a joint and the upper surfaces of the blade spar and mounting structure lie on a common airfoil contour extending across the joint. The lower surfaces of the blade spar and mounting structure also lie on the common airfoil contour. One or both of the blade and mounting structure include a composite material. The mounting structure may include two portions secured to one another having a distal portion of the blade spar captured therebetween.
