Twist in Bell 205/UH-1 Blades ?

Hi Gents,

Does anyone know the twist in degrees of the Huey rotor blades, from root to tip ?

Simple info but can't find it anywhere.

Thank you !

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply, much much appreciated !

Do you know where I could have good reads or topics on that particular teetering rotor system, how it aerodynamically works, what to k,now about the stabilizer bar dampeners, pre-cone angle purpose, drag brace degree of freedoms etc... everything related to that head design ?

Thank you again,

Hueyman

I think it was a total of 10 degrees, something like +7 at the hub and -3 at the tip? But the brain is old...
