[0002] The blade folding system and tail rotor transmission parts of a foldable helicopter need to be disassembled, installed, and tested for performance. One or more solenoid valves of the blade folding system need to be operated separately. The solenoid valve can be operated separately by a DC power supply with a voltage of 24±5V, or by a mechanical button on the solenoid valve that forces the valve to open. All the above operations require one person to command and multiple people to cooperate. A dedicated person is responsible for powering on / off the corresponding solenoid valve or pressing / releasing the mechanical button. The coordination of the work is difficult and there are safety risks. Therefore, a remote control operation control box and method for the folding of the blades of a foldable helicopter are designed. Only one person is required to operate all the work through a remote control. During the operation, the abnormal situation of the blade folding process can be observed at any position on the aircraft and its surroundings, which greatly improves the safety of the operation.
