To Lu,

Going from a 2-blade to a 3-blade rotor will overcome some problems, but it will create others. Two that come to mind are;
1/ an reduction in the allowable load
2/ a greater possibility of ground resonance.


To Noise,

Noise comes high on the list of both threads. The following article from Rotor & Wing ~ May 2002 may be of interest to those who have not already read it. Public Acceptance: The Noise Threshold: Is Quieter Better?
