SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROTATING A ROTOR OF A TILTROTOR AIRCRAFT

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ROTATING A ROTOR OF A TILTROTOR AIRCRAFT

One example of a tiltrotor aircraft (100) includes a rotor system (110a, 110b), a pylon (102a, 102b) coupled to the rotor system (110a, 110b), a spindle (112) coupled to the pylon (102a, 102b), an actuator arm (114) coupled to the spindle (112), and an actuator (116). The actuator (116) can cause th...

Zusammenfassung:One example of a tiltrotor aircraft (100) includes a rotor system (110a, 110b), a pylon (102a, 102b) coupled to the rotor system (110a, 110b), a spindle (112) coupled to the pylon (102a, 102b), an actuator arm (114) coupled to the spindle (112), and an actuator (116). The actuator (116) can cause the actuator arm (114) to rotate, thereby causing the spindle (112) to rotate the pylon (102a, 102b) and the rotor system (110a, 110b). In an example, the actuator (116) is in front of a forward spar (122) of the wing (104) of the tiltrotor aircraft (100) and the actuator arm (114) is about one-half (0.5) of an inch (1.27 cm) to about five (5) inches (12.7 cm) from the wing (104).
