Auxiliary Equipment

Abstract

An actuator has been developed by AiResearch Manufacturing Company, Los Angeles, California, which is mounted at the blade root of a helicopter hub to give fine pitch adjustments, and so carry out blade tracking. The actuator is operated by the pilot, who can feel the point of minimum vibration. The operation can be carried out on the ground or in the air.
