METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING FORCE FIGHTS IN A ROTATING SHAFT

摘要

The tilt rotor aircraft comprises an airframe, a pair of wing members coupled to the airframe, a pair of cooperating tilt rotor assemblies carried by the pair of wing members operate in a plurality of modes of operation, a flexible and elongated rotating shaft extending between the pair of cooperating tilt rotor assemblies, a plurality of assemblies for generating at least one signal indicative of an amount of twist on the flexible and elongated shaft, a controller for receiving the at least one signal and generating command signals, and a plurality of actuators for receiving the command signals and for compensating for the twist in the flexible and elongated shaft.
