  • Aircraft propeller balancing system
    Patent number: 8961139
    Abstract: An aircraft system/method for propeller balancing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 14, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 24, 2015
    Assignee: LORD Corporation
    Inventors: Askari Badre-Alam, David Boswell, Donald Morris, Wayne Winzenz
  • Aircraft with transient-discriminating propeller balancing system
    Patent number: 8360728
    Abstract: A system for balancing an aircraft propeller system receives a vibration signal from the aircraft propeller system and determines whether the vibration signal indicates a transient vibration condition. If it is determined that the vibration signal does not indicate a transient condition, the system enables a balance correction controller. The controller generates a balance correction signal based on the vibration signal, and balances the aircraft propeller system in response to the balance correction signal if the balance correction controller is enabled.
