Zusammenfassung: | The present invention discloses a rotor control system where rapid changes in rotor torque are transferred into moment forces acting about the blade pitch axis of a rotor blade in a thrust-generating rotor, to ultimately control the movements of a rotary wing aircraft. The moment forces acting on the rotor blade are transferred through a carefully adjusted damping member in order to allow rapid changes in rotor torque to create cyclic changes in blade pitch angle, while slow or permanent changes are cancelled out and affects the rotational speed and the thrust generated by the rotor, without permanently affecting the blade pitch angle of individual rotor blades. |
