SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR PARKING A PROPULSOR TEETER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18140247 titled 'SYSTEMS AND DEVICES FOR PARKING A PROPULSOR TEETER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a locking system for a propulsor teeter of an aircraft.
- The system includes a propulsor driven by a motor, which has a hub that can rotate around a rotational axis.
- A teeter mechanism is connected to the hub, allowing the propulsor to pivot along an axis that is not parallel to the propulsor's longitudinal axis and intersects with the rotational axis.
- The locking mechanism is designed to restrict the pivoting of the propulsor by locking the teeter mechanism.
- The locking is specifically intended to be activated while the aircraft is in wing-borne flight.
Original Abstract Submitted
A locking system for a propulsor teeter of an aircraft is disclosed. The system includes a propulsor, driven by a motor, comprising a hub, wherein the hub is configured to rotate about a rotational axis, a teeter mechanism connected to the hub, wherein the teeter mechanism is configured to permit the propulsor to pivot along an axis, wherein the axis is non-parallel with a longitudinal axis of the propulsor and intersecting with the rotational axis of the propulsor and a locking mechanism configured to lock the teeter mechanism, restricting the pivoting of the propulsor, while the aircraft is in wing-borne flight.
