摘要: A tail rotor isolation system for rotorcraft includes a secondary engine, first and second freewheeling units, an isolation assembly and a tail rotor system. The secondary engine is coupled to the input race of the first freewheeling unit. A main rotor system is coupled to the output race of the second freewheeling unit. The isolation assembly is coupled to the output race of the first freewheeling unit and has a fully engaged position coupling the input and output races of the second freewheeling unit and a partially engaged position coupled to the input race but decoupled from the output race of the second freewheeling unit. The tail rotor system is coupled to the input race of the second freewheeling unit such that in the partially engaged position of the isolation assembly, the overrunning mode of the second freewheeling unit isolates the tail rotor system from the main rotor system.

摘要: A computer-implemented method is described for detecting anomalies in a transmission system of an aircraft equipped with a monitoring system, which includes a number of sensors coupled to the transmission system and determines, for each flight of the aircraft a number of respective time intervals and acquires through each sensor, for each of the time intervals, a corresponding primary signal indicative of a corresponding dynamic quantity dependent on the operation of the transmission system during at least part of the time interval. For each sensor, the monitoring system determines, starting from each primary signal acquired through the sensor during a corresponding time interval, a corresponding set of values of at least one corresponding group of synthetic indexes. The method includes detecting anomalies of the transmission system on the basis of the groups of synthetic indexes.

摘要: A propeller system for a tail section of an aircraft includes a propeller hub located at the tail section of the aircraft, a plurality of propeller blades mounted to and extending outwardly from the propeller hub, a propeller shaft coupled to the propeller hub and operable to rotate the propeller hub about an axis of rotation, and a propeller gearbox connected to the propeller shaft. The propeller gearbox is fluidly cooled by an airflow within the tail section. A spinner assembly surrounds the propeller hub. The spinner assembly includes at least one outlet opening formed therein downstream from the propeller hub relative to the airflow. The spinner assembly is rotatable to draw the airflow into at least one cooling flow inlet formed in the tail section and across the propeller gearbox to cool the propeller gearbox and out the at least one outlet opening.

摘要: A multi-rotor aircraft includes a fuselage, a propulsion engine coupled to the fuselage that generates thrust to propel the aircraft along a first vector during forward flight, and rotors coupled to the fuselage, each rotor comprising blades, each rotor coupled to a motor, and each motor configured to supply power to and draw power from the coupled rotor. The aircraft includes a flight control system configured to control the motors coupled to the rotors in a power managed regime in which a net electrical power, consisting of a sum of the power being supplied to or drawn from each rotor by its motor, is maintained within a range determined by a feedback control system of the flight control system. The flight control system can also be leveraged to adjust rotor control inputs to modify at least one of thrust, roll, pitch, or yaw of the multi-rotor aircraft.

摘要: Tail rotor control system is described for helicopters. A pedal position sensor operable by a pilot yields greater tail rotor RPM relative to the main rotor RPM, giving the pilot increased control over the vehicle. This proves especially useful in certain situations, such as high altitude, where increasing tail rotor speed from main rotor speed can give a pilot increased maneuverability and stability.
