Six-Degree-of-Freedom Vibration SuppressorNew system, total-rotor-isolation system (TRIS) employs liquid-inertia vibration-eliminator (LIVE) units, designed to isolate all six degrees of freedom of aircraft-fuselage dynamic response from continuously changing airloads developed by rotor. Vibration suppressor uses liquid mercury to damp vibrations. Results of flight tests indicated at least 95-percent reduction in vibration levels from rotor hub to pilot's seat.
