Thanks for all the input, but I still don’t see a reason that this cannot be done. A teetering rotor head has no lead lag (at least not active movement). All of the rigid systems either twist the plates or allow flex in the blades to account for feathering and flapping. Why can’t these be carried over to the 2 blade system.
It it seems to me that a flexible blade would not be any harder/more expensive than a rigid blade. It also seeems that a stack of plates would be more cost effective than a teetering mechanism.
I hate being slow here, but’s what am I missing?
it just occurred to me that I never introduced myself here. I have posted on other sites but this one seemed to have more technical gurus.
I am a low time pilot (4000 hrs of combined fixed and rotor). I have never been paid to fly, so all on my own nickel. I am an engineer and I built and fly a Safari Experimental. I have developed several balancing techniques/devices for the ship so that thes are in line with most comparable certified ships.
thanks
