slowrotor,
- Operation of Teetering Rotor: A movement of the cyclic stick off of its central position will result in the teetering rotor disk tipping in the direction of the cyclic stick. This causes a constant force at the top of the mast, which pulls the fuselage in the same direction.
- Rigid Rotor: Making the 2-bladed rotor rigid will result in a 2/P moment at the top of the mast, The rotor will only apply its full moment when the blades are pointing in the direction of tipping and it applies no moment when the blades are normal to the direction of tipping.
- One objective of this idea: To develop a means of eliminate this 2/rev vibration.
