"Bearingless" rotors still have some arrangement that permits adjustment of the blade pitch. Usually a torsionally flexible attachment structure or a laminated elastomeric bearing. However, they do not provide adequate stiffness for rigid rotor systems. Look at the Sikorsky rigid rotor hub designs that use rolling element blade feather bearings.
