breakdown of elements
Thanks Crab
as per picci on the preceding page
the green axis is shaft axis
the green circumference / plane of rotation is the 'datum' that i am refering to, as you described relative to shaft axis
the pink/magenta axis is the 'new' axis of rotation (shifted away from shaft axis by - in the illustration fwd cyclic input)
the pink circumference / plane of rotation ( relative to new AoR) is the tip plane path with zero coning.
if you can imagine now a 3rd circumference / plane of rotation above & parallel to the pink one, slightly smaller, being the disc area & tip path plane under a load (coning), hence i am wanting to maintain each element seperately so that the students can see it happening & have a reference point for each one.
the missing link sort of stuff...
might be easiest if i produce a still shot of what i am trying to describe with the labels as i see them , then get your feedback
i don't want to produce something that is going to generate any arguments over the terminology used.
thanks again for feedback
