    • A hybrid composite flexbeam for a soft inplane bearingless main rotor assembly has eight spanwise regions: a hub attachment region; a first tapered region; a second tapered region; an inboard transition region; a pitch region having a cruciform configuration; an outboard transition region; a tapered outboard transition region; and a main rotor blade, torque tube attachment region. The pitch region is formed from unidirectional fiberglass plies, a 50/50 admixture of unidirectional fiberglass and graphite plies, and unidirectional graphite plies, all of which extend from root to tip of the hybrid flexbeam. Unidirectional fiberglass and graphite plies of varying lengths are interleaved in the second inboard tapered region. Fiberglass and graphite cross plies of varying lengths are interleaved in the first inboard tapered region. Fiberglass and graphite cross plies and unidirectional fiberglass plies of varying length are interleaved in the outboard tapered region. The ends of the plies of varying length form distributed ply drop-off arrangements in the first and second inboard tapered regions and the outboard tapered regions. The distributed arrangement of ply endings cause kick loads in the hybrid flexbeam to be distributed across the ply buildups. Fiberglass edge caps having a U-shaped configuration may be disposed in combination with the leading and trailing edges of the hybrid flexbeam, starting at the limits of the pitch region and extending inboardly and outboardly therefrom, respectively.

    • An acoustic isolator is incorporated between a noise generating device and a support structure, such as between a transmission housing and an airframe. The isolator has a first fitting which attaches to the noise generating device, and a second fitting which attaches to the support structure, with an acoustic attenuation member disposed therebetween. Preferably, a first elastomer member is disposed between a pair of vertical walls of the first and second fittings. Optionally, a second elastomer member is disposed between an upper surface of the supporting structure and a lower surface of the second fitting such that horizontal loads are reacted therethrough. Alternatively the first and second elastomers comprise a spherical elastomer member and a cylindrical elastomer member in the form of a spherical bearing. The acoustic isolator thus allows rigid attachment of the adjacent structures yet provides acoustic isolation of complex forces which would normally transmit noise through the structure, particularly those from the vertical, lateral and fore/aft directions. Utilizing the inventive acoustic isolator, noise transmission through the support structure can be substantially reduced.

    • A variable diameter rotor blade assembly includes a rotor hub with multiple rotor blades each having an outboard blade section telescopically mounted to an inboard blade section. A reeling assembly includes a strap drum that extends and retracts a strap attached to each of the outboard blade sections to selectively change the diameter of the rotor blade assembly. The strap includes a body portion extending toward the drum and a termination portion attached to each of the outboard blade sections. The termination portion is made from a rigid fiber reinforced composite that has a higher rigidity than the body portion. A transition region is formed between the body portion and the termination portion and is made from a flexible matrix-fiber composite that has a higher rigidity than the body portion and a lower rigidity than the rigid fiber reinforced composite. The body portion is formed from layers of spanwise fibers and the termination portion is formed from alternating layers of spanwise fibers and angled fibers resulting in the termination portion having a greater thickness than the body portion. The orientation of the fibers in addition to the rigid fiber composite material increases the overall strength of the termination portion.

    • A novel apparatus and method are provided to reduce the interlaminar shear loading in the retention area of composite springs used in a vibration isolator for use with a helicopter main rotor. The composite springs, which are made of a graphite laminate, are weakest when subject to inter-laminate shear. The shear forces are highest during bending and twisting about the longitudinal axis of the laminate composite. The invention consists of several techniques to minimize the inter-laminate shear. The first is the use of nylon mounting pads which are attached to the ends of the graphite laminate spring arm at the locations where mounting to the inner and outer hubs is to take place. In particular, it has been found that the nylon spacer must be recessed back from the perimeter edges of the graphite spring arm the same distance which is approximately equal to the width of the graphite spring arm. Next the location of the bolt holes in the spring arm must be critically located so as to avoid that portion of the spring arm which has the highest shear loading.
    • 提供了一种新颖的装置和方法,以减少在与直升机主转子一起使用的隔振器中使用的复合弹簧的保持区域中的层间剪切载荷。 由石墨层压制成的复合弹簧在层间剪切作用下最弱。 在围绕叠层复合材料的纵向轴线的弯曲和扭转过程中剪切力最高。 本发明由减少层间剪切力的几种技术组成。 第一种是使用尼龙安装垫,它们在安装到内部和外部毂的位置处附接到石墨层压弹簧臂的端部。 特别地,已经发现,尼龙隔片必须从与石墨弹簧臂的宽度大致相同的距离从石墨弹簧臂的周边边缘向后凹进。 接下来,弹簧臂上的螺栓孔的位置必须严格定位,以避免弹簧臂的具有最高剪切载荷的部分。
