摘要: A method of blade fold for a tiltrotor aircraft includes configuring the in flight ready position with rotor system an inverted-Y position, unlocking first to permit pivot relative yoke system, restraining allow as is rotated, rotating direction so that pivots closer second blade, orient into modified third and blade.
