Abstract:
The invention relates to helicopters with removable fuel tanks, wherein all fuel tanks of the helicopter are removable fuel tanks. Helicopters all fuel tanks of which are removable can safely be stored on ships and aircraft carriers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a main rotor arrangement (1) for an UAV-helicopter, comprising a rotor mast (3) defining a vertical axis of rotation (R), and a hub (5) for attachment of rotor blades, wherein the hub (5) is mounted to the rotor mast (3) in a tiltable way so as to reduce loads acting on the rotor blades during operation of the UAV-helicopter. The main rotor arrangement (1) comprises a damping assembly (18) for damping said tilting of the hub (5).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a load bearing assembly (7) for an UAV-helicopter (1) and which comprises a carrier (11) for a payload, such as a camera or a radar unit, wherein the carrier (11) is movable and lockable in the longitudinal direction of the UAV-helicopter, so as to adjust the centre of gravity of the UAV-helicopter (1). The present invention also relates to an UAV-helicopter being provided with such a load bearing assembly.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fastening means (22) and an attachment assembly (42). The fastening means (22) comprises a bolt (24) having a first bolt portion (26), a second bolt portion (28) and an intermediate bolt portion (30) arranged between the first bolt portion (26) and the second bolt portion (28). The first bolt portion (26) is conical and the second bolt portion (28) is threaded. The fastening means (22) further comprises a first bushing (34) with a conical inner surface arranged in circumferential abutment to the first bolt portion (26) and a nut (8) to be threadedly engaged to the second bolt portion (28). The attachment assembly (42) for securing objects (46, 50, 54) to each other comprises at least two bores, arranged through the objects, comprising a first bore portion (44), a second bore portion (52) and an intermediate bore portion (48), respectively. The intermediate bore portion (48) is arranged between the first bore portion (44) and the second bore portion (52). The attachment assembly also com- prises at least two fastening means (22), each of the fastening means (22) being arranged inside the bores, respectively.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a landing arresting system for vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aerial vehicles(1) comprising a landing and take-off platform(6) and at least one VTOL locking member (4) having a projecting portion (32) arranged at a lower portion of the vehicle (1). The landing and take-off platform(6) comprises a plurality of individually displaceable rolls (12),arranged substantially in a horizontal direction, and moveable back and forth, such that the projecting portion (32) of the VTOL locking member (4) can be entered, retained and released between two adjacent rolls (12). The present invention also relates to a landing and take-off platform for VTOL aerial vehicles and a VTOL locking member for aerial vehicles.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) helicopter comprising a dismountable tail section including a torque compensating rotor, wherein power transmission from the motor to the torque compensating rotor is accomplished by pulley-and-belt drive arrangements.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a rotor damper for a tail rotor (1) of a helicopter (4), comprising a main body (30) of a resilient material to be arranged between a drive shaft (6) for the tail rotor (1) and a hub (12) on which rotor blades (14) for the tail rotor (1) is coupled. A flange (38) is connected to the main body (30) of the rotor damper (2), which flange (38) is provided with an abutment surface (39) for abutting an outer surface (50) of the hub (12). The invention also relates to a tail rotor (1) provided with such a rotor damper (2).
