Modular integrated device for rotor blade control

A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade (20) including one or more pockets (32) and a housing (42) located on the rotor blade (20) within one or more pockets (32). The housing is secured to the rotor blade (20) via one or more dovetail joints (40). A drive mechanism (44) for a control surface...

Zusammenfassung:A rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade (20) including one or more pockets (32) and a housing (42) located on the rotor blade (20) within one or more pockets (32). The housing is secured to the rotor blade (20) via one or more dovetail joints (40). A drive mechanism (44) for a control surface of a rotor blade includes an actuator and a rocker operably connected to the actuator. At least one hinge rod (48) is operably connected to the rocker and operably connected to a control surface (24) at a control surface pivot. The drive mechanism (44) translates substantially linear motion of the actuator into rotational motion of the control surface (24) about the control surface pivot.
