Abstract: A tunable vibration isolator shown in figure 8 with active tuning elements having a housing, fluid chamber, and at least one tuning port. A piston is resiliently disposed within the housing. A vibration isolation fluid is disposed within the fluid chambers and the tuning ports. The tunable vibrati on isolator may employ either a solid tuning mass approach or a liquid tuning mass approach. The active vibration elements are preferably solid-state actuators.

Abstract: An aircraft with a tilt rotor assembly comprising a craft body, a plurality of rotor blades which are subject to three modes of flight operation, a tilting mast coupling the plurality of rotor blades to the craft body and for selectively moving the plurality of rotor blades between the three modes of flight operation, a hub coupling the plurality of rotor blades to the tilting mast in a manner which transfers torque and thrust while allowing tilting of a rotor thrust vector, a main swashplate for tilting in response to operator input to control the direction of the rotor thrust vector, a plurality of pitch horns, each mechanically coupled to a particular one of the plurality of rotor blades and to the main swashplate, for communicating swashplate input to each of the plurality of rotor blades, a plurality of links coupling the main swashplate to the plurality of pitch horns, wherein each of the plurality of pitch horns is mechanically coupled to a particular one of the plurality of rotor blades by one of the plurality of links in a particular position which yields a delta-3 value which is not optimum, and a feedback swashplate and cooperating feedback links for receiving disk tilting input from the plurality of rotor blades during flight, and for supplying a mechanical input to the main swashplate to compensate for the less than optimum delta-3 coupling between the plurality of pitch horns and the plurality of links. The three modes of flight include: (1) an airplane mode of flight with the plurality of rotor blades in a rotor disk position which is substantially transverse to the craft body; (2) a helicopter mode of flight with the plurality of rotor blades in a rotor disk position substantially parallel to the craft body with direction of flight being controlled by a rotor thrust vector; and (3) a transition mode of flight with the plurality of rotor blades moving between the rotor disk positions associated with the airplane mode of flight and the helicopter mode of flight.

Abstract: A hydraulic inertial vibration isolator (1) is connected between a vibrating body (3) and an isolated body (5). The vibration isolator (1) comprises a cylinder (7) which includes two chambers (35, 37) and a piston (9) therebetween. The chambers (35, 37) are connected by a tuning passage (31) in which a solid tuning slug (33) is slidably disposed. The chambers (35, 37) and the tuning passage (31) are filled with liquid. Bypass passages (57, 61) connecting the tuning passage (31) to the chambers (35, 37) allows file liquid pressure in the chambers (35, 37) to equalize when the amplitude of the tuning slug's oscillatory motion is sufficiently large, thereby limiting the tuning slug's amplitude. Dashpots (45, 47) axially disposed adjacent to either end of the tuning slug (33) act to damp excessive tuning slug motion and to bias the tuning slug (33) toward the center of the tuning passage (31). An electronic control system (69) is used to supply alternate current to magnetic coils (67) adjacent to the tuning slug (31), thereby matching the isolation frequency to the vibration frequency.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a shaft comprising a spiral spline along a length of the shaft. A rotor comprising a blade extending from the rotor and a tubular hole extending into the rotor. The tubular hole comprises a spiral groove configured to mate with the spiral spline on the shaft. Relative rotation between the spiral spline and the spiral groove causes the rotor to linearly move along the shaft. A cam surface comprises a recession. The blade nesting in the recession constrains rotation of the rotor about the shaft in a first rotational direction, and allows linear movement of the rotor along the shaft in a second rotational direction.

Abstract: A tiltrotor aircraft includes a rotatable nacelle that supports a rotor assembly and is pivotally attached to the aircraft's fuselage. A wing extension attaches to an outboard section of the nacelle. The wing extension provides additional yaw control during helicopter mode and additional lift during airplane mode. A method for controlling at least a portion of yaw movement includes positioning the rotor assembly in helicopter mode, creating rotor wash with the rotor assembly, and pivotally rotating the wing extension in the rotor wash.

Abstract: A damper for a rotor hub for a rotorcraft can include a housing, a piston resiliently coupled to the housing with a first elastomeric member and a second elastomeric member, a plurality of conical members, a fluid, and an orifice. The conical members may be coupled between the housing and the piston in a compressive state, such that a relative motion between the piston and the housing causes the conical members to flex by a compressive load change produced by the relative motion between the piston and the housing. The elastomeric members, the piston, the housing, and the conical members form inner chambers between the conical members and the piston and outer chambers between the conical members and the housing, each comprising an at least partially conical shape, Flexure of the conical members pumps the fluid through the orifice.

Abstract: A damper includes a housing that forms a fluidly sealed cavity for receiving a fluid therein. The fluid is configured to change fluid properties as electrical energy is induced. An electrical subsystem provides electrical energy to the fluid, which is monitored with a control subsystem. The method includes inducing the fluid with electrical energy to change the dampening effects of the damper in real time.

Abstract: A system and method to converting mechanical rotational energy of an aircraft input shaft of a transmission to electrical energy. The system includes an alternator having an inductor carried by the aircraft transmission and a magnet carried by the aircraft input shaft. The input shaft rotates the magnet in relation to the inductor, which in turn converts the mechanical rotational energy to electrical energy.
