Abstract

See full text

A method of assembling a rotor blade assembly includes determining a first spanwise moment of a first component of the rotor blade assembly and comparing the first spanwise moment to a target first spanwise moment. The first spanwise moment of the first component is adjusted based on a result of the comparison. A second spanwise moment of a second component of the rotor blade assembly is determined and compared to a target second spanwise moment. The second spanwise moment of the second component is adjusted based on a result of the comparison. The first component is assembled to the second component, resulting in a rotor blade assembly meeting a target spanwise moment of the rotor blade assembly.
