  • Patent number: 8944764
    Abstract: A main rotor arrangement for an UAV-helicopter. A rotor mast defines a vertical axis of rotation. A hub is for attachment of rotor blades. The hub is mounted to the rotor mast in a tiltable way so as to reduce loads acting on the rotor blades during operation of the UAV-helicopter. A damping assembly is configured to damp the tilting of the hub.

  • Publication number: 20080005879
    Abstract: A method for releasably holding two machined articles (1, 2) together in a mutually fixed position comprises lugs (6, 9) with openings having surfaces to be aligned with each other for defining said fixed position with respect to two dimensions and surfaces arranged to bear against each other for defining said position in a third dimension. The method further comprises inserting a tool (20) through the openings of adjacent lugs and pressing them into said alignment and said surfaces to bear under pretension against each other for holding the articles in a mutually fixed position.
