Rotor, particularly for a rotary wing aircraft

Abstract

Abstract 1. A rotor, more especially of a helicopter, having radially outwardly directed rotor hub arms (2) each for holding a respective rotor blade (3) on the rotor hub (1) by way of two bolts (5) which traverse the respective rotor hub arm and the blade root perpendicularly to the plane of rotation of the rotor, in which respect the blade root communicates with the blade wing by way of a blade neck portion (3.2) which is torsionally supple at least for the angle-of-incidence movements of the blade, the control of the angle of incidence of the blade is effected by means of a control rod (4), arranged in the rotor hub, by way of a control shaft (7), which is introduced into the rotor hub arm so as to be movable through a rotary angle and which is coaxial with the blade angle axis, and a blade control lever (10), which is connected thereto in a torsionally-fast manner, onto a torsionally-stiff sheath (6) which surrounds the blade neck portion in a contact-free manner and which is securely connected radially outwardly therefrom to the rotor blade, and in which respect the control shaft (7) projects by way of a free space (8), left through the shape of the blade root (3.1), between the two bolts (5), out from the rotor hub arm (2) into engagement with the blade control lever (10), seated on this outward shaft end, as a coupling member between the control shaft (7) and sheath (6).
