COMPOSITE BLADE, IN PARTICULAR FOR A MULTIBLADE PROPELLER WITH VARIABLE PITCH AND INDIVIDUALLY REMOVABLE BLADES, AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS

摘要

Each blade is fixed to the hub by the root part of the spar, arranged in the form of a loop surrounding a connection element bolted on the hub, with the interposition of rigid rings by a pin simultaneously fixing the hub on a drive sleeve transmitting thereto the driving torque of the central shaft. The hub comprises two coaxial cylindrical walls in each of which is pierced, for each blade, a circular opening in which the member for controlling the angle of attach which is fast with the blade root is mounted to rotate via self-lubricating rings. The invention is particularly applicable to helicopters.
