mmm... Suggest you look up the function of 'lag dampers' on complex rotor systems. They're used to solve a specific problem (lack of lead/lag damping in rotor systems) that could well preclude the feasibility of using such a system in flight.

There are a large number of research efforts on going around the work relating to this sort of area (ie. variable blade properties) and it's a tough subject.
