摘要: A rotary wing aircraft includes a single main rotor hub configured to receive a rotor blade. The rotor blade includes a blade root, a blade tip, and a blade body. The blade body includes a leading edge and a trailing edge and defines a feathering axis. The leading edge and the trailing edge each include a first portion and a second portion that extend toward a first direction and a second portion, respectively. At a given radial location along the feathering axis, a local twist angle changes from a positive value to a negative value, a chord length decreases in value, a distance between the trailing edge and the feathering axis decreases in value, and the first portion of the leading edge extends toward the first direction. The rotor blade assembly also includes a trailing edge assembly having a trailing edge flap configured to be selectively deployed by an actuator.

摘要: An electrical conductor assembly for a rotor blade includes a substrate and at least one electrical conductor. The substrate includes an inboard end portion and an outboard end portion. The at least one electrical conductor is attached to the substrate and extends between the inboard end portion and the outboard end portion. The at least one electrical conductor is configured to transmit electricity along a length of the rotor blade. The inboard end portion and the outboard end portion are structured such that when the electrical conductor assembly is installed within the rotor blade, the inboard end portion is securable relative to the rotor blade and the outboard end portion is movable relative to the rotor blade.

摘要: A rotor for a rotary wing aircraft having a single blade with a longitudinal pitch axis and that is hinge mounted on the rotary shaft for rotating the rotor, the hinge being about an axis that is transversal relative to the rotary shaft, said rotary wing describing a cone when its pitch angle is not zero, the rotor possessing a balancing flyweight device for balancing the resultant of the horizontal component of the lift force and of the rotary drag force of the blade, the device being mounted to rotate with the rotary wing about its rotary shaft and, under the effect of the centrifugal force to which it is subjected while the rotary wing is rotating, generating a horizontal force that is applied to the rotary shaft of the motor and that opposes the above-mentioned resultant with a magnitude of that is a function of the position of the flyweight(s) of the balancing device relative to the rotary shaft of the rotor.

摘要: Systems and methods relate to a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) platform that can include a stator and a rotor magnetically levitated by the stator. The rotor and stator can be annular, such that the rotor rotates about a rotational axis. The stator can include magnets that provide guidance, levitation, and drive forces to drive the rotor, as well as to control operation of rotor blades of the rotor that can be independently rotated to specific pitch angles to control at least one of lift, pitch, roll, or yaw of the VTOL platform. Various controllers can be used to enable independent and redundant control of components of the VTOL platform.

The at least one filler comprises first particles having an average mean diameter of less than about 1.0 μm and second particles having an average mean diameter of from about 1.5 μm to about 5 μm. Impregnated fibers comprising the preceramic resin formulation are also disclosed, as is a composite material comprising a reaction product of the polycarbosilane preceramic polymer, organically modified silicon dioxide preceramic polymer, and the at least one filler.

摘要: A rotorcraft includes a body and a plurality of rotary-wing parts. The body has a front-end portion, a rear-end portion, two side portions, and a reference plane passing through the front-end portion, the rear-end portion, and the two side portions. The plurality of rotary-wing parts are disposed to the body. Each of the rotary-wing parts includes at least one blade and a shaft coupled to the at least one blade. The at least one blade is rotated around an axis of the shaft. An angle between the axis of the shaft and a normal line of the reference plane is between 5 and 30 degrees. The rotorcraft can provide additional lift force, to help reduce the weight of the rotorcraft.

摘要: A method of forming a balanced rotor blade assembly includes measuring a weight of a plurality of sub-components of the rotor blade assembly excluding a core. A configuration of a core of the rotor blade assembly is determined. In combination, the core and the plurality of sub-components achieve a target weight distribution and moment. The core is then fabricated and assembled with the plurality of sub-components to form a rotor blade sub-assembly.

摘要: The rotor of a hybrid aerodyne for producing lift by rotating during a stage of vertical flight and then for being held stationary and stored longitudinally during a stage of cruising flight has at least one single-blade with a counterweight. The length of the active blade that generates lift of the rotor while rotating is significantly shorter than the length of the radius of the rotor. The portion that carries the active blade that makes the connection between the active blade and rotor mast is structurally rigid. The rigid portion that carries the active blade presents a cross-section optimized to provide zero or almost zero lift and very little aerodynamic drag while the rotor is rotating. The assembly is hinged about a transverse axis perpendicular to the vertical axis of the rotor and substantially on the vertical axis of the rotor mast.
