Despite some of the Lynx shortcomings (some literally fatal), to see the design and manufacture behind the titanium Main Rotor Head is quite amazing (video at 2:20). Being able to dispense with multiple hinges, bearings and brackets and do it all with titanium flexing was revolutionary, although you wonder why it never became more popular across the industry (cost?).
