Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A tilt prop aircraft is provided, including a first longitudinal support member and a second longitudinal support member capable of tilting relatively to each other, a tilt actuator disposed on the second longitudinal support member, a first power transmission member rotated by the tilt actuator, a second power transmission member fixed to the first longitudinal support member and coupled to the first power transmission member to transmit a rotational movement of the first power transmission member by turning 90 degrees in different planes, a crank fixed to the second longitudinal support member and extending through a slot in the first longitudinal support member and protruding inwardly from the first longitudinal support member, and a connecting rod connected to the crank so as to be relatively rotatable to the crank, and connected to the pitch control rod.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A tilt prop aircraft comprising a pitch control rod which changes pitch angle of a propeller while moving up and down along a rotational axis of a rotor, the tilt prop aircraft comprising: a first longitudinal support member and a second longitudinal support member capable of tilting relatively to each other; a tilt actuator disposed on the second longitudinal support member; a first power transmission member rotated by the tilt actuator; a second power transmission member fixed to the first longitudinal support member and coupled to the first power transmission member to transmit a rotational movement of the first power transmission member by turning 90 degrees in different planes; a crank fixed to the second longitudinal support member and extending through a slot in the first longitudinal support member and protruding inwardly from the first longitudinal support member; and a connecting rod connected to the crank so as to be relatively rotatable to the crank, and connected to the pitch control rod. 2. The tilt prop aircraft of claim 1 , wherein the pitch angle is non-linearly controlled while the rotor is tilted from 0 degree to 90 degrees. 3. The tilt prop aircraft of claim 2 , wherein the slot is formed along a moving path of the crank while the rotor is tilted from 0 degree to 90 degrees. 4. The tilt prop aircraft of claim 3 , wherein, while tilt angle changes from 90 degrees to a predetermined angle, the pitch control rod is moved in an upward direction by the connecting rod and the crank and the pitch angle of the propeller is decreased, and while the tilt angle changes from the predetermined angle to 0 degree, the pitch control rod is moved in a downward direction by the connecting rod and the crank and the pitch angle of the propeller is increased. 5. The tilt prop aircraft of claim 4 , wherein the predetermined angle is determined by adjusting length of the connecting rod and position of the crank. 6. The tilt prop aircraft of claim 1 , wherein the first power transmission member is a first gear, the second power transmission member is a second gear, and the first gear and the second gear are geared with each other. 7. The tilt prop aircraft of claim 6 , wherein the first gear is a tilt worm gear, and the second gear is a tilt worm wheel gear.
