Abstract: In an embodiment, an aircraft includes an airframe and a first propulsion assembly coupled to the airframe. The first propulsion assembly includes a first rotor hub and a first plurality of rotor blades non-uniformly spaced about the first rotor hub and operable to rotate in a rotor plane with the first rotor hub. The aircraft also includes a second propulsion assembly coupled to the airframe. The second propulsion assembly includes a second rotor hub and a second plurality of rotor blades non-uniformly spaced about the second rotor hub and operable to rotate in a rotor plane with the second rotor hub.

Abstract: An exemplary ducted fan includes a duct having a central longitudinal axis, a rotor hub and stator hub extending along the central longitudinal axis, rotor blades extending from the rotor hub, each of the rotor blades operable to rotate about its own pitch-change axis, the pitch-change axes lying in a rotor plane that is generally perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis, each of the rotor blades having a rotor trailing edge and a rotor chord length, stators extending from the stator hub to an interior surface of the duct, each of the stators having a stator leading edge and a stator thickness, and a first separation between the rotor plane and the stator leading edge of not less than approximately 1.5 times the stator thickness.

Abstract: A rotor system has a mast axis, a first rotor rotatable about the mast axis in a first direction and the first rotor has a first number of first rotor blades, and a second rotor rotatable about the mast axis in a second direction and the second rotor has a second number of second rotor blades that is different than the first number. The second direction is opposite the first direction.
