Abstract:

An enclosure for carrying an adjustable payload. The enclosure is beneficially used on a rotorcraft blade or other similar structure. The enclosure has a first element having a first flange and an upper element.

The upper element has a lower surface which has a second angle with respect to an upper surface of said upper element in a direction extending from an inboard direction to an outboard direction, the lower surface being in contact with the upper surface of said first element, the second angle being in a direction which is opposite to the direction of said first angle. The first element and the upper element define a cavity for holding a payload.
