Abstract

1342584 Rotary winged aircraft F H ROBERTSON 19 April 1971 [15 April 1970] 17916/70 Heading B7W Means for effecting non-sinusoidal cyclic pitch change of the blades 20 of a rotary winged aircraft rotor whilst independently allowing a sinusoidal cyclic pitch control to be superimposed thereon comprises spindles 22 which are bolted to the wing roots and are in threaded engagement with spirally-splined plunges 28 bearing on a cam 36 whose surface is designed to cause the blade angle of attack to be varied in azimuth to suit the speed of the aircraft. Sinusoidal pitch variation is achieved by means of a tiltable spider 10 connected to levers 13 which are straight splined to the plungers 28 to permit indpendence of operation. Cam 36 can rise and fall on fixed splines 37; its upper end is circular to correspond to hovering or vertical descent of the aircraft, and its lower end is shaped to set the correct blade angle of attack at all points around the rotor tip path at maximum forward speed. As this speed is approached, cam 36 is moved up the splines 37 by an automatic or manually controlled actuator 40, thus causing plungers 28 to rotate spindles 22 and vary the blade angle of attack in azimuth in such a way that the blade lift is kept constant. Collective pitch change may be incorporated by arranging for the entire cyclic picht control assembly (including spider 10) to be adjustable in a vertical direction.
