Abstract:
A rotor system has a rotor (302), an axis of rotation about which the rotor (302) may be rotated, a linkage system (310) having a first adjustable length portion (210) and a second adjustable length portion (212), wherein the second adjustable length portion (212) is configured to provide a relatively finer adjustment of an overall effective length of the linkage system (310) as compared to the first adjustable length portion (210) and wherein the rotor (302) is configured to rotate about the axis in response to changing the overall effective length of the linkage system (310).

Abstract:
An assembly for providing flexure to a blade of a rotary blade system, the assembly including an upper support plate (22) having an upper curved surface (37) , a lower support plate (24) having a lower curved surface (37) , and a yoke (120) positioned therebetween. At least one of the upper and lower yoke surfaces (37) having a layer of cushioning material (56) positioned thereon and secured thereto. The layer of cushioning material (56) extending along and following the general contour of yoke surface (37) , and the layer of cushioning material (56) directly contacting a support plate (22,24) . Another embodiment is an assembly for providing flexure to a blade of a rotary blade system, including, an upper support plate (22) having an upper curved surface (27) , a lower support plate (24) having a lower curved surface (37) , and a yoke (120) positioned therebetween and directly contacting the support plates wherein one of the curved surfaces (37) is a non-circular arc that does not form part of the circumference of a circle.
