Scissoring fold arrangement for dual plane four bladed rotor hubs

1. A rotor blade system, comprising:

a first hub assembly having a first set of rotor blades and rotatably attached to a rotor mast;

a second hub assembly having a second set of rotor blades and rotatably attached to the rotor mast, the second hub assembly being positioned at a space relative to the first hub assembly;

a torque splitter device engaged with both the first hub assembly and the second hub assembly; and

an actuator operably associated with the torque splitter;

wherein the actuator is configured to rotate the torque splitter;

wherein the torque splitter device is configured to allow movement of the of the first hub assembly relative to the second hub assembly; and

wherein the torque splitter device comprises:

a base;

a first opening extending through the base and configured to receive a first shaft associated with the first hub assembly;

a second opening extending through the base and configured to receive a second shaft associated with the second hub assembly; and

an extension member configured to engage with the first opening and the first shaft.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of blades comprises a first rotor blade and a second rotor blade.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first hub assembly is operably associated with a tilt-rotor aircraft.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a computer operably associated with the actuator;

wherein the computer is configured to control the movement of the torque splitter via the actuator.

5. A torque splitter system for a dual hub rotor blade system, comprising:

a base;

a first opening extending through the base and configured to receive a first shaft associated with a first hub of the dual hub rotor blade system;

a second opening extending through the base and configured to receive a first shaft associated with a first hub of the dual hub rotor blade system; and

an extension member configured to engage with the first opening and the first shaft.

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising:

a third opening extending through the base and configured to receive a third shaft;

wherein the torque splitter is configured to rotate about the third shaft.

7. The system of claim 5 , further comprising:

an actuator operably associated with the torque splitter;

wherein the actuator is configured to rotate the torque splitter.

8. The system of claim 7 , further comprising:

a computer operably associated with the actuator;

wherein the computer is configured to control the movement of the torque splitter via the actuator.

9. A method to scissor a first set of rotor blades relative to a second set of rotor blades, the method comprising:

securing the first set of rotor blades to a first hub;

securing the second set of rotor blades to a second hub;

securing the first hub and the second hub coaxially along a rotor mast;

securing the first hub to the second hub via a torque splitter; and

rotating the first hub relative to the second hub via the torque splitter until the first set of rotor blades align with the second set of rotor blades about a common horizontal axis;

wherein the torque splitter device comprises:

a base;

a first opening extending through the base and configured to receive a first shaft associated with the first hub assembly;

a second opening extending through the base and configured to receive a second shaft associated with the second hub assembly; and

an extension member configured to engage with the first opening and the first shaft.
