Independent hydraulic control system for rotorcraft secondary rotor

摘要

According to some embodiments, a rotorcraft (100) includes a secondary rotor control system (400b) located proximate to the empennage (150) of the rotorcraft (100). The secondary rotor control system (400b) includes at least one hydraulic pump (410b) and at least one hydraulic actuator (430). The at least one hydraulic pump is located proximate to the empennage (150). The at least one hydraulic actuator (430) is located proximate to the empennage (150) and configured to adjust at least one operating characteristic of the at least one secondary rotor blade (120').
