Rotorcraft with independent blade control system with hydraulic pitch link

摘要

According to one embodiment, a rotorcraft pitch link (118, 830a-830d) includes a housing and a piston assembly (832a). The housing comprises a first chamber (831a) and a second chamber (833a). A first housing opening allows a first fluid to flow into the first chamber, and a second housing allows a second fluid to flow into the second chamber. The piston assembly (832a) is at least partially disposed within the housing and comprises a piston head and a piston rod coupled to the piston head. The piston head separates the first chamber (831a) from the second chamber (833a).
