  • Patent number: 12054246
    Abstract: A helicopter is described comprising a motor member comprising an output shaft and a first stator rotatably supporting the output shaft around a first axis; a main rotor adapted to provide the lift necessary for the support and the thrust necessary for the movement of the helicopter; a transmission interposed between the motor member and the main rotor; the transmission rotatable around a second axis and a second stator rotatably supporting the input shaft around the second axis; the helicopter also comprises a joint interposed between the first and second stator, angularly fixed with respect to the first axis, and configured to allow an inclination between the first and second stator in a plane parallel to said first axis; the joint comprises a first corrugated element made of an elastically deformable material, interposed between said first and second stator, and adapted to allow the inclination through elastic deformation.

  • Publication number: 20230234701
    Abstract: A rotor for an aircraft is described, comprising an input shaft rotatable around a first axis; an output member rotatable around a second axis; a coupling element functionally interposed between the input shaft and the output member and adapted to transmit the motion from the input shaft to the output member; the coupling element is configured to allow, in use, a fixed or variable inclination between the respective first and second axes; the coupling element comprises at least a first corrugated element made of an elastically deformable material; the first corrugated element allows the inclination through elastic deformation.
