More Information
Summary:A rotor system of an aircraft includes a rotor hub rotatable about an axis of rotation, and a power generation system. The power generation system includes a generator stator and a generator rotor. The generator rotor is coupled to the rotor hub. At least one induction type magnet is mounted to at least one of the generator stator and the generator rotor. A control unit is operably coupled to the at least one induction type magnet to selectively deliver power to the at least one induction type magnet to alter a torque of the rotor hub without decreasing a rotational speed of the rotor hub.
