Record 3 2005-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Helicopters (Military)
CONT

The bolt which goes through the "pitch horn" also goes through a pitch change rod end... which has one of those spherical bearings in it. This allows the rod end to push and pull on the pitch horn, thereby changing the pitch of the blade.... The other end of the rod end... is attached to the pitch change yoke.... The pitch change rod is actually a shaft which goes through the hollow shaft [on which] the tail rotor is mounted on...

French

Domaine(s)
  • Aérotechnique et maintenance
  • Hélicoptères (Militaire)
CONT

Pour ce qui est de la tête du rotor principal, désaccoupler les biellettes et amortisseurs de changement de pas, et vérifier que les articulations de battement, de traînée ainsi que les manchons de pale se déplacent librement, sans grippage ou sans rugosité.

Record 6 1987-07-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

The [helicopter] rotor shaft is a tube surrounding the mast and is wide enough to permit the pitch control linkage for the rotor blades to pass within it to a point above the rotor. From here, pitch-change motions are sent through tangential levers and push-rods down to the pitch-change horns.

OBS

Term officialized by the ATSC - Helicopters.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Constructions aéronautiques
CONT

L'arbre du rotor est un tube entourant un mât; il a un diamètre suffisant pour permettre aux biellette de commande de pas des pales de passer à l'intérieur jusqu'à un point situé au-dessus du rotor. A partir de celui-ci, des leviers tangentiels et des poussoirs transmettent aux cornes les commandes de changement de pas.

OBS

Terme uniformisé par le CUTA - Hélicoptères.

Record 7 1980-09-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Mechanical Construction
DEF

A blade which is connected to its hub or central shaft through one or more joints about which the blade is free to move. Articulation generally refers to freedom about the blade pitch axis, but can include freedom in coning or freedom about other hub axes.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Construction mécanique
CONT
