In older, metal construction, perhaps not so obvious but more modern types are of composite construction and definitely DO have a "twist", or washout. The aerodynamic profile of these blades sometimes varies greatly along their length. Some blades, such as those on the A109E, even have a trailing edge "flap" on the inner portion.
