Abstract

See full text

An aircraft control system includes a propeller shaft assembly. Also included is first rotor operatively coupled to the propeller shaft assembly, the first rotor having a first plurality of blades mounted thereto, the first blades disposed at a substantially identical nominal pitch during rotation of the first rotor, the first rotor rotatable in a first direction. Further included is a second rotor operatively coupled to the propeller shaft assembly and rotatable in a second direction, the second rotor having a second plurality of blades mounted thereto, wherein a pitch of the second blades cyclically changes during rotation of the second rotor, the first rotor and the second rotor disposed and rotated proximate a fixed wing of an aircraft about a common axis extending parallel to a longitudinal axis of the aircraft, cyclically changing the pitch of the second plurality of blades generating a moment for controlling the aircraft.
