Abstract:
A hybrid yoke including a center and yoke arms connected to flexure arms. An inboard centrifugal force bearing assembly connects to the yoke arm and a grip and an outboard shear bearing assembly connects to the flexure arm and the grip. In use, the center and yoke arms carry the centrifugal force at a position inboard of the flexure arm.

Claim (Index 17):
A hybrid yoke for a rotorcraft, comprising:\n a center yoke including a yoke arm; a flexure arm connected to the yoke arm, wherein the center yoke and the yoke arm are constructed of a metal and the flexure arm is constructed of a flexible composite material; a cut-out in the yoke arm, inboard of the flexure arm, including a centrifugal force (\u201cCF\u201d) fitting; a first curved surface formed in the CF fitting; an inboard beam including a shaft extending from a bridge and a second curved surface in the bridge opposite the shaft; and a CF bearing held by and axially centered between the first curved surface and the second curved surface; wherein the CF bearing is configured to connect to a rotor blade whereby in use a CF load path of the rotor blade is from the rotor blade to the CF bearing, to the yoke arm and the center yoke, and the CF load path does not include the flexure arm.
