  • Variable energy absorber for aircraft arresting system
    Patent number: 4042079
    Abstract: A fluid-operated energy absorber has an annular axle shaft and bearing assembly connected to the rotor shaft adjacent to a hollow compartment in the base of the rotor shaft. The annular assembly is interconnected by segmented plates. Opposite rotor vanes on each axle are disposed on different sides of the segmented plates. A pair of cam plates in the hollow shaft compartment engage cranks on the inner ends of the axle shafts for varying the angle of the vanes. The cam plates are actuated by a control rod extending out through the hollow center of the rotor shaft, which is pushed or pulled by a lead screw on the outer end of the rotor shaft to vary the angle of the vanes.
