Active rotor blades

[Harlee]

Hello all,

I hope someone can help. I'm after a high quality image of a active rotor blade to help with a presentation I'm producing. Does anyone out there have such an image? Thanks

Harlee,

You will find a few images related to active rotor blades by searching Google Images.
However, it appears that the field has not yet developed to the point where meaningful products and their images are available.

Thanks for the replies.

I've tried google, but as you have stated there is not much out there. I'm really after a high res picture, not the type you can copy of the internet.

If there is anyone working in R&D who can supply a copyright free image, I would be most grateful.

Hailee,

Rotor Concept - Active Blade Twist (http://www.unicopter.com/B372.html) is the lead page to a large number of pages on this subject. The sub section Independent Root And Tip - Torque Tube Method (http://www.unicopter.com/1096.html) is the method that is under development, but at a very early stage. There are no pictures of any value for your purpose.

The pictures on Web page UniCopter ~ Rotor - Blade - General (http://www.unicopter.com/UniCopter_Blade_General.html) are to do with IRAT and they can be supplied in a higher resolution. However, they are a hell of a long way from what you must want. ;)
