Abstract

635,082. Aerofoils. GOODYEAR AIRCRAFT CORPORATION. May 16, 1947, No. 13212. Convention date, Nov. 29, 1946. [Class 4] An aerofoil, more particularly a helicopter rotor blade, comprises a spar formed from two interengaging U- shaped members 2, 3 arranged with their limbs horizontal, a monocoque leading edge section 6 of stainless steel, and ribs 4 to which are secured laminar trailing edge cover strips 9, 10, the laminations comprising a layer of fabric-reinforced thermosetting plastic 18 covered by sheets of stainless steel 19, 20. Lightening holes 14, 15, 17 are provided in the spar and ribs, the holes 15 and some of the holes 17 being closed by air-tight membranes to prevent the building up of pressure differentials due to the rotation of the blade. A trailing edge member 11 of triangular section, and made of a fabric-reinforced thermosetting plastic, is cemented to the middle layer 18 of the trailing edge cover strips 9, 10. The leading edge of the blade forms a passage for hot de-icing gases which are discharged through a hole 29 in the upper surface of the blade tip 12. A baffle plate 5 is secured to the spar member 2, and a heat transfer fin 8a is embedded in a counterweight 8 extending along the leading edge. Drain holes are provided in the lower corners of the ribs and spar, and in the tip member 12. The blade root member is inserted between the spar members 2, 3 and bolted thereto. The leading edge of the blade may be made as described in Specification 634,583, [Group XXII], and the root spar as in Specification 635,084, [Group XXII].
