  • High speed compound rotary wing aircraft
    Patent number: 9120567
    Abstract: A rotary wing aircraft includes an airfame and an extending tail extending from the airframe. A main rotor assembly is operably connected to the airframe and includes a plurality of rotor blades operably connected to a rotor shaft, and one or more active adaptive devices located at one or more rotor blades of the plurality of rotor blades. The one or more active adaptive devices are operably connected to an aircraft flight control system such that, when activated, the one or more active adaptive devices change one or more operational characteristics of the rotor assembly. A tail rotor is operably connected to the extending tail. The tail rotor is rotatable about a tail rotor axis and the tail rotor axis movable from laterally-extending to rearward-extending.
