???Feathering??? Please help

As a helicopter pilot im am struggleing with the idea of feathering!
Please be symypathetic

Are these blades feathered?


Ie - they are feathered because they are in line with the aircraft, ie the chord line is in the same direction as the aircraft???

Also when would you use this position? Not in flight as it produces no thrust!?
Although on these blades in the picture, arn't they producing thrust because of the curved blade?

I know im making a mountain out of a mole hill but please help explain

Thank you

Mady
