Abstract:
The aircraft includes a rotor. The rotor includes a plurality of rotor blades. The aircraft further includes a non-rotating aircraft component. A proximity sensor is disposed with at least one of the non-rotating aircraft component and the rotor blades. A flight control computer is electrically coupled to the proximity sensor.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of controlling rotor-blade clearance, the method comprising:\n measuring, via a proximity sensor disposed within at least one of a non-rotating aircraft component and a rotor blade, a proximity of the rotor blade relative to the non-rotating aircraft component; transmitting a measured position of the rotor blade to a flight control computer; determining, via the flight control computer, if the rotor blade is outside of a minimum safe distance of the non-rotating aircraft component; and responsive to a determination that the rotor blade is within a minimum safe distance of the non-rotating aircraft component, initiating, via the flight control computer a corrective action.
