Live system with splash guard

Abstract

An aircraft includes a frame, a transmission, and a liquid inertia vibration elimination (“LIVE”) system coupled between the frame and the transmission. The LIVE system is configured to attenuate communication of vibrations from the transmission to the frame. The LIVE system includes a first liquid zone, a second liquid zone, a plug at least partially segregating the first liquid zone from the second liquid zone, and the plug has an aperture in fluid communication with the first liquid zone and the second liquid zone. A splash guard is disposed within the second liquid zone and offset from the plug.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
