A cam-actuated tip and hub vane assembly adapts to distorted airflow, supporting fan efficiency in complex inlet geometries.
Lock plate with tabs limits rotational movement on the pitch change shaft, preventing loosening under vibration.
A gimbaled tail rotor hub with elastomeric centrifugal force bearing enables in-plane blade flapping and pitch change articulation.
Actuation assembly adjusts circumferential fan blade spacing to mitigate uneven 1P loads caused by misaligned airflow in unducted gas turbine engines.
