Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
One example of a torque transfer system for a rotorcraft includes a first rotational joint connected to a rotorcraft rotary shaft. The first rotational joint receives a portion of a torque generated by rotation of the rotorcraft rotary shaft and transfers the portion of the torque to a rotorcraft rotating component. The torque transfer system also includes a second rotational joint of a different type connected to the rotorcraft rotary shaft. The second rotational joint receives a remainder of the torque generated by the rotation of the rotorcraft rotary shaft and transfers the remainder of the torque to the rotorcraft rotating component.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A torque transfer system for a rotorcraft, the system comprising: a first rotational joint connected to a rotorcraft rotary shaft, the first rotational joint to receive a portion of a torque generated by rotation of the rotorcraft rotary shaft and to transfer the portion of the torque to a rotorcraft rotating component; and a second rotational joint separate from and transferring torque using a different mechanism than the first rotational joint, wherein t…
