    摘要: A nozzle for use with a rotor blade for a reaction drive type helicopter includes a first wall, a second wall opposing the first wall, and sidewalls extending between the first wall and the second wall enclosing a cavity having an upstream end and a downstream end. The nozzle includes an inlet section for receiving a gasflow at the upstream end. The distance between the first wall and the second wall reduces to a throat downstream of the inlet section. An expansion section extending from the throat, downstream thereof.

    摘要: A rotor hub for a reaction drive type helicopter includes a cylindrical sidewall having a top and an open bottom which defines an interior volume. A top plate closes the top of the cylindrical sidewall, and at least two pipe sections extend outwardly from the cylindrical sidewall. Each pipe section extends through the sidewall in communication with the interior volume. A horizontal vane is carried in an inlet of the pipe section and extends horizontally across the inlet. A three dimensional body extends downwardly from a central axis of the top plate into the interior volume.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for controlling yaw of a rotorcraft in the event of one or both of low airspeed and engine failure are disclosed. A yaw propulsion device, such as an air jet or a fan may be used. A pneumatic fan may be driven by compressed air released into a channel surrounding an outer portion of the fan. Power for the yaw propulsion device and other system may be provided by a hydraulic pump and/or generator engaging the rotor. Low speed yaw control may be provided by auxiliary rudders positioned within the stream tube of a prop. The auxiliary rudders may one or both of fold down and disengage from rudder controls when not in use. Apparatus for generating horizontal lift imbalance induced a tail boom positioned within the downwash of a rotor may also be used, including compressed air vents or lateral or trailing edge flaps.

    摘要: A system for operating helicopter blades with compressed air includes at least a first machine having an engine and configured for generating mechanical power to lift the helicopter; at least a second machine having a compressor and configured for generating compressed air for operating the hollow blades, the first machine being coupled with the second machine; and a rotor having a hollow shaft and an oscillating hollow head supporting the blades. The hollow shaft of the rotor internally including a conduit connecting the hollow shaft of the rotor to the hollow head. The oscillating hollow head is an elastic head and comprises an elastomeric flexible and deformable channel connecting the conduit with the blades and having a shape as at least one “V” and a number of branches equal to the number of the blades, the branches being able to guide the compressed air towards nozzles of the blades.

    摘要: A rotor system for a reactive drive rotary wing maintains the rigidity of the rotor and eliminates play between flight controls and the rotor by mounting swashplate actuators to a flange rigidly secured to the mast. Apparatus and methods perform thermal management of the rotor in order to avoid bearing failure or loss of bearing preload. Methods include modulating the temperature of oil pumped over one or more of the mast bearing, swashplate bearing, and spindle bearing. The temperature of air passively or actively drawn through rotor may also be modulated to maintain bearing temperature within a predetermined range. The rotor includes structures for reducing pressure losses and drag on components due to air flow through the rotor. A rotor facilitates thermal management by oil and air flow.
