    The document discusses different types of main rotor hub systems used in helicopters. It describes teetering rotors which see-saw as a unit, articulated rotors where each blade has hinges for flapping, lead-lag and feathering motions, and hingeless rotors where blade articulation occurs through flexing of the hub structure. More advanced systems like bearingless and rigid rotors that have no bearings are also covered. The pros and cons of each system are provided along with examples of helicopter models that implement the different technologies.

    In a hingeless rotor,
    the same couple
    could be produced by
    a rotor with flapping
    hinges having an
    equivalent offset.

    Feathering
    Various techniques used to allow feathering in spite of the root tension in the blade.

    (a) A torsion bar resists


    the axial pull.

    (b) Thin steel shims may be laminated


    to produce a flexible structure.

    DrAfshinManouchehrifar 26
    Feathering

    (c) Strap made from strands of wire.

    (d) Elastomer under compression allows


    rotation in shear, but bulges under load.

    DrAfshinManouchehrifar 27
    Feathering

    (e) Metal shims between layers of


    elastomer prevent bulging.

    (f) A practical elastomeric thrust bearing


    which is failsafe because the blade cannot
    come off if the bearing fails.
