Abstract
1332443 Helicopter rotors SOC NATIONALE INDUSTRIELLE AEROSPATIALE 2 Feb 1972 [15 Feb 1971] 4914/72 Heading B7W A helicopter rotor comprises a plastics hub reinforced with high-strength fibres, the hub having, to support each blade root 25, a flexible arm 2 reinforced by a longitudinal bunch of such fibres, the arm having near the hub a flattened cross-section and terminating in a substantially cylindrical terminal portion 14 to which a cylindrical sleeve 15 is secured, the sleeve serving as an inner raceway of a bearing, of which the outer raceway 19 is rigidly secured to the blade root. The hub and arms 2 are preferably of glass fibres impregnated with synthetic resin. The terminal portion 14 is thickened by the interposition of glass fibre cloths 13 and a central rigid plastics filling. Pitch variation is provided by means of rollers 17 interposed between a collar 18, retained on the sleeve 15 by a transverse shaft 16a, and the raceway 19. The raceway 19 rotates on the sleeve 15 through the agency of needle bearings 20, and centrifugal forces are transmitted from the blade to the arm by the transverse steel shaft 16a. A lever 26 is connected to the helicopter control system (not shown) for pitch variation, and each flexible arm is provided with a drag damper 27. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the centrifugal forces are transmitted by a twistable element (34) such as a bunch of steel strips or an element of wound steel wires. In a further alternative embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), the twistable element (38) takes the form of a central cylindrical bunch of the fibres of the arm 2, impregnated with flexible vulcanized elastomer and sheathed with P.T.F.E. (41). The outer end of the cylinder (38) is impregnated with a strong polymerizable synthetic resin to form a connecting element for the blade 25.
