Wireless rotor track and balance system for rotorcraft
Abstract:
Disclosed is a rotor track and balance system for rotorcraft that includes a data processing unit, a tachometer sensor and at least one accelerometer. The tachometer sensor is located remotely from the data processing unit and is mounted proximate to the rotating blades of the rotorcraft. The tachometer sensor is adapted to measure the speed and position of the rotating blades and to wirelessly transmit speed and position data to the data processor. The at least one accelerometer is also located remotely from the data processing unit and is mounted proximate the rotating blades of the rotorcraft. Each accelerometer is adapted to measure vibration anomalies in the rotating blades and to wirelessly transmit vibration data to the data processor. The data processing unit synchronizes the wireless data transmitted from the tachometer sensor and the wireless accelerometer(s) and determines necessary adjustments to be made in order to reduce the vibration anomalies in the rotor blades.
