US Patent:

20210070433, Mar 11, 2021

Filed:

Sep 6, 2019

Appl. No.:

16/563732

Inventors:

- Fort Worth TX, US
Robert Alan Self - Fort Worth TX, US

International Classification:

B64C 27/473
F01D 5/14
B64F 5/10

Abstract:

In an implementation, a rotor blade (alternatively referred to herein as “blade”) for a helicopter or other aircraft may include an outer layer. The outer layer may define a cavity. The outer layer may at least partially correspond to an airfoil, e.g., a wing. One or more inserts may be included within the cavity and be encompassed thereby. The first insert may have a density of at least 0.6 pounds per cubic inch.

International Classification:

B64C 27/00
B64C 27/46
B64C 27/04

Abstract:

The present invention includes a span-balance pocket in a surface of a rotor blade, the span-balance pocket including an inboard surface and an outboard surface; and one or more weights disposed in the span-balance pocket to span-balance the rotor blade; and at least one of one or more retention devices to retain the one or more weights against the outboard surface of the span-balance pocket or the span-balance pocket is machined or molded into a tip block of the rotor blade.

Mark Adam Wiinikka - Hurst TX, US

International Classification:

B64C 27/51
B64C 27/39

Abstract:

A system and method for attaching a damper to a tail rotor blade includes a cuff that is integral with the rotor blade. The cuff has upper and lower lugs formed by extending a skin over a blade core of the rotor blade. The skin extends past the blade core to the root end of the rotor blade. The rod end of the damper is inserted into an opening between the lugs. The rod end of the damper is coupled to the blade with a bolt through aligned holes in the lugs. The cuff also couples the rotor blade to the grip inside the cuff. The cuff includes a same material as that forming the skin. Sacrificial buffer pads are applied to interior faces of the lugs. The buffer pads permit a distance between the lugs to be machined within a tolerance without removing skin from the cuff.

International Classification:

H01R 31/00
H01R 43/20
B64D 15/12

Abstract:

An electrical interconnect including an electrically conductive male interlock having a substantially flat base portion and a longitudinally extending locking member, and an electrically conductive female interlock having a first retention groove in a support member, the first retention groove for receiving and retaining the locking member on the support member. At least a portion of the locking member is disposed on a surface of the female interlock and slidably received in the first retention groove to form a first locked position so as to enable electrical conduction.
