2 blade rigid rotor

once again I will prove my ignorance of all things Helicopter. Is it theoretically possible to build a 2 blade ridged rotor system. What I am envisioning is the teeter and feather replaced by the same type of plates used on a multi bladed ridged system.

I have been thinking about this for a while and cannot come up with a reason that it would not work. Is the amount of flapping in a 2 bladed system too much? Seems like it would eliminate mast bumping and tail amputations.

Please educate me.

Bill.
