    摘要: A rotor blade for a driven horizontal rotor of a rotary-wing aircraft comprises an elongated main body which includes a leading edge, a trailing edge, and an upper surface extending between the leading edge and the trailing edge. The rotor blade further comprises at least one flap having a front end and a rear end and mounted to the main body at its front end swiveling about a swiveling axis running in parallel to the radial or spanwise axis of the rotor blade. The flap has a basic position in which it lies flat against the upper surface of the main body. Further, the flap is passively swiveled by aerodynamic forces and inertial forces about its swivel axis to raise above the upper surface of the main body, and a reset force acts upon the flap to reset it into its basic position on the surface of the main body.

    摘要: A method for equalizing rolling moments at high advance ratios is disclosed including impelling an aircraft in a forward direction at an airspeed by means of a thrust source and rotating a rotor of the aircraft at an angular velocity with respect to the airspeed effective to cause a positive total lift on each blade due to air flow over the blades in the retreating direction when the blade is moving in the retreating direction. The rotor includes an even number of blades placed at equal angular intervals around the rotor hub. One or both of cyclic pitch and rotor angle of attack are adjusted such that a rolling moment of the retreating blade due to reverse air flow is between 0.3 and 0.7 times a rolling moment on the advancing blade due to lift.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for enabling high speed flight in a rotorcraft are disclosed. The method may include executing a flight with a rotorcraft. The flight may include a first portion and second portion ordered sequentially. During the first portion, the rotorcraft may be flown with the rotor exclusively in autorotation. Once sufficient airspeed is obtained, the flight may transition to the second portion. Wherein, substantially all of the weight of the rotorcraft may be supported by one or more fixed wing surfaces of the rotorcraft. Thus, during the second portion, the rotor may be completely unloaded. To keep the rotor stable by turning, the rotor may be powered during the second portion by an engine of the rotorcraft by way of a prerotation system.

    摘要: A VTOL rotor assembly for a compound VTOL aircraft, the VTOL rotor assembly having a rotor sleeve, a pair of rotor blades which are extendable from the rotor sleeve for vertical take off and landing and retractable to the rotor sleeve as forward air speed exceeds the stall speed for the compound VTOL aircraft, and a rotor hub for connecting the rotor sleeve to a rotor power assembly. Rotor blade motivators controlled by a rotor blade controller determine the pitch of the respective rotor blades through interaction of the pilot of the VTOL aircraft with the rotor blade controller.

    摘要: A combined fixed and rotary wing aircraft may operate in vertical takeoff mode relying on the rotary wing, exclusively, and may completely change over to flight support by the fixed wing at higher advance ratios. Advance ratios may exceed not only the typical advance ratios of less than 0.5 but may exceed 1, and may even exceed 2. At the higher advance ratios, the rotary wing may be completely unloaded, the aircraft relying on the fixed wing for vertical support and airfoil lift. To maintain stability in the rotary wing, configuration, autorotation must continue. To power autorotation, without presenting a large area and drag, an anemometer-type flap system may selectively open and close to increase drag on the retreating blades, and provide minimum drag on the advancing blades.
