R44 Technical Q & A
Without trying to open a can of worms I have a question of which the answer seem to elude me. It is not in reference to the pitch link offset to the rotor mast not being 90 degree (I think we all remember that on), but its is almost in the same arena.
The Question then: At the point where the pitch-link and the horn meets (directly opposite the coning hinges) on the R22 I have noticed the R44’s is almost and inch offset closer to the rotor shaft and not inline with the coning hinge. Would this not lead to an increase in pitch when the blade flaps up? Or is there another reason why?
