摘要:
A retractable helicopter landing gear has a suspension structure supporting one wheel, and is movable between a withdrawn position, to reduce drag on the helicopter, and a lowered position for landing and takeoff of the helicopter. The landing gear also has a skid, which is located between the axis of rotation of the wheel and the periphery of the wheel, is diametrically opposite the suspension structure, and is connected to the suspension structure by a connecting device having a torsion bar.

An aircraft having at least one in-flight attitude control system, in turn having at least one actuator; and a hydraulic circuit connected to the actuator and having at least one pump designed to deliver a first flow when the pressure of the hydraulic circuit is above a presettable threshold value. The pump is designed to deliver a second flow greater than the first flow, and the aircraft has a sensor for detecting a quantity associated with the pressure of the hydraulic circuit; and a programmable central control unit, which controls the pump to deliver the second flow when the quantity detected by the sensor corresponds to a pressure of the hydraulic circuit below the threshold value.

There is described an electric connecting unit for a helicopter, having a stator connected rigidly to a fixed part of the helicopter and fitted with first electric contact means; and a movable member rotated about a respective axis by a rotary member of the helicopter, and fitted with second electric contact means cooperating in sliding manner with the first electric contact means; the movable member having rigid fastening means for connection to the rotary member of the helicopter, so that no bearings are required between the stator and the movable member.
摘要:
A main helicopter rotor having a number of blades and wherein a drive shaft supports, at its top end, an annular hub integral with the drive shaft and in turn supporting, via a spherical elastomeric joint having its center on the axis of the drive shaft, and an elastic axial suspension, a toroidal body surrounding the drive shaft. Each blade is connected to the hub by a connecting element extending through both the hub and the toroidal body, and connected respectively to the same by a first and second spherical elastomeric bearing.
摘要:
A helicopter rotor on which each blade is connected in articulated manner to a center hub by means of a fork, the vertical plane movement of which is limited, below a given speed of the rotor, by a pair of limit rocker arms located between the hub and a ring nut mounted for rotation on the fork and angularly integral with the hub by means of a rod of variable length connected in articulated manner to a slide supported on the hub and arranged substantially horizontally and crosswise in relation to the blade.
摘要:
Helicopter engine-drive assembly on which the engine and drive unit are connected by a propeller shaft extending inside an articulated tubular member connected in removable manner, at one end, to the casing on the engine and, at the other end, to the casing on the drive unit and consisting of at least two segments at least one of which consists of two portions connected telescopically and secured in a given mutual position by releasable, removable fastening means.
摘要:
Main helicopter drive for transmitting drive to the countershaft even when the main shaft connected to the rotor is idle, and on which a sleeve, turned by a drive shaft and connected by gears to the countershaft, supports in rotary and axially-sliding manner, an inner tubular body angularly integral with the main shaft; an actuator being connected to the said tubular body for moving it between a normal position, in which the said tubular body is connected to the said sleeve by a freewheel on the latter, and a position in which the said freewheel engages the outer casing of a bearing fitted on to the said tubular body.
