    Abstract: An aircraft (10) has a fuselage (28), a first rotor assembly (36) having a first rotor hub (38) and first rotor blades (40a, 40b, 40c) pivotably coupled to the first rotor hub (38) and a second rotor assembly (56) having a second rotor hub (58) and second rotor blades (60a, 60b, 60c) pivotably coupled to the second rotor hub (58). The first (40a, 40b, 40c) and second (60a, 60b, 60c) rotor blades have deployed configurations extending generally radially from the fuselage (28) and stowed configurations extending generally parallel with the fuselage (28). A sequencing cam (90), positioned between the first (38) and second (58) rotor hubs, is coupled to the second rotor blades (60a, 60b, 60c). The sequencing cam (90) has a retracted orientation when the second rotor blades (60a, 60b, 60c) are in the stowed configuration and an extended orientation when the second rotor blades (60a, 60b, 60c) are in the deployed configuration in which the sequencing cam (90) props support arms (42a, 42b, 42c) of the first rotor blades (40a, 40b, 40c) preventing transition of the first rotor blades (40a, 40b, 40c) from the deployed configuration to the stowed configuration.

    Abstract: A vibration isolator for connecting a first body and a second body includes a housing having a first chamber (22) , a second chamber (26) , and a port (24) connecting the first chamber (22) to the second chamber (26) and permitting fluid (34) to flow between the first chamber (22) and the second chamber (26). The first and second chambers (22), (26) and the port (24) defining a fluid reservoir (27) . The isolator (10) includes a gas-to-fluid accumulator (30) in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir (27) through a first one-way valve (140) and a second one-way valve (142) . The first one-way valve (140) allows fluid (34) to pass only from the fluid reservoir (27) to the accumulator (30) and the second one-way valve (142) allows fluid (34) to pass only from the accumulator (30) to the fluid reservoir (27). At least one of the first and second one-way valves (140), (142) being preloaded to a predetermined force to permit fluid flow through the at least one-way valve (140), (142) only when fluid pressure exceeds the predetermined force.

    Abstract: A soft-in-plane proprotor system (100) for a tiltrotor aircraft (10) having a helicopter mode and an airplane mode. The proprotor system (100) includes a hub (102), a plurality of proprotor blades (104) and a plurality of loop yokes (120), each coupling one of the proprotor blades (104) with the hub (102) and each including first (204) and second (206) longitudinal sections extending between inboard (208) and outboard (210) arcuate sections and a bearing assembly (118) disposed between the inboard (208) and outboard (210) arcuate sections of each loop yoke (120). Each bearing assembly (118) includes a flapping bearing (122) disposed generally within the inboard arcuate section (208) of the respective loop yoke (120) and coupled to the hub (102), a lead-lag damper (128) coupled to the hub (108), a centrifugal force bearing (138) disposed generally within the outboard arcuate section (210) of the respective loop yoke (120) and a blade anchor (130) coupled between the lead-lag damper (128) and the centrifugal force bearing (138). The blade anchor (130) is also coupled to the respective proprotor blade (104).

    Abstract: A tail sitter aircraft (10) includes a fuselage (12) having a forward portion (14) and an aft portion (16). The forward portion (14) of the fuselage (12) includes first and second rotor stations (18, 20). A first rotor assembly (22) is positioned proximate the first rotor station (18). A second rotor assembly (24) is positioned proximate the second rotor station (20). A tailboom assembly (26) extends from the aft portion (16) of the fuselage (12). The tailboom assembly (26) includes a plurality of landing members (28). In a vertical takeoff and landing mode of the aircraft (10), the first and second rotor assemblies (22, 24) rotate about the fuselage (12) to provide vertical thrust. In a forward flight mode of the aircraft, the first rotor assembly (22) rotates about the fuselage (12) to provide forward thrust and the second rotor assembly (24) is non-rotatable about the fuselage (12) forming wings to provide lift.
