Abstract

A vibration suppression unit for an aircraft comprising a mass having a center of mass, a first rotor, a second rotor, a first coupling between the first rotor and the mass, a second coupling between the second rotor and the mass, the first and second couplings having first and second coupling centers offset perpendicularly from a central axis of rotation by different radial distances and offset in axially from the center of mass with respect to the central axis by different axial distances, the first and second coupling centers having a selectively variable displacement angle defined by the angle between lines extending between the central axis of rotation and the first coupling center and the second coupling center, respectively, wherein the first rotor and the second rotor are controllable to produce a vibration control force vector having a controllable magnitude and frequency about the central axis.
