articulated rotor
1articulated rotor — A rotor in which the individual blades are free to flap (i.e., move up and down), drag (i.e., move back and forth in the plane of rotation), and change their pitch angle independently. This is done by mounting the blades on flapping and drag… …
2fully articulated rotor — A rotor with three or more blades in which the individual blades are free to flap (move up and down), drag (move back and forth in the plane of rotation), and change their pitch angle as they rotate around the disc. This is done by mounting the… …
3rotor system types — There are three types of rotors: rigid, semirigid, and fully articulated. In a rigid rotor, the blades are free to change pitch but otherwise are made as rigid as possible. The blades of rigid rotor have no hinges that allow them to flap or drag …
