Abstract: A lubrication system includes an additive and a delivery system. During normal operational conditions, the lubricating oil circulating in the transmission system is collected and contained in a secondary oil reservoir to retain a quantity of the lubricating oil for use in an oil-out condition. When an oil-out condition is detected, the additive is injected and mixed with the collected lubricating oil in the secondary oil reservoir or dispersed directly into a power transmission gearbox housing to enhance the characteristics of the lubricating oil and increases the operational time period of the power transmission gearbox during an oil-out condition.

Abstract: A rotor hub fairing system includes an upper hub fairing, a lower hub fairing and a shaft fairing therebetween. The rotor hub fairing system is attached to the counter-rotating, coaxial rotor system through a bearing arrangement such that the shaft fairing may be positioned at an azimuthal position about the main rotor axis of rotation relative the airframe by a de-rotation system. The de-rotation system controls the position of the shaft fairing about the axis of rotation such that the shaft fairing is prevented from rotating freely in unison with either shaft as may otherwise result during some flight regimes.
