Design, development and flight qualification of a highspeed/high torque novel freewheeling clutch architecture for tiltrotor main drive system

Topic description

Specific Challenge:

The objective is to design, develop, manufacture, test and flight qualify a novel type of freewheeling clutch system for high speed / high torque application to be integrated in the drivetrain of a tiltrotor. The main challenges are due to the need of obtaining extreme relibility and safety in a very compact format. The components will be integrated in the demonstrator drivetrain.
