HOT CYCLE ROTOR SYSTEM DETAIL DESIGN OF ROTOR

Abstract

The detailed structural and mechanical design is presented of the Hot Cycle Rotor System. The rotor system consists of a free-floating hub and three coning blades mounted on a shaft supported by an upper radial bearing and a lower thrust bearing. These bearings are positioned above the whirl tower (or fuselage) by a steel tubular truss.
