widgeon Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Not due to dissymetry but shows even the best pilot can err. This is from the early 80's Siegrfried Hoffman was the pilot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotorheadrob Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 chopper doctor is correct. All blade flapping and lead & lag are done by blade flex. What a cool machine! I'd love to go for a flight upsidedown :punk: :punk: rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
widgeon Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 On the lynx the lead lag is absorbed by the Dogbone which I think is a Titanium circular member between the pitch change bearing and the Main rotor blade cuff. There is a "virtual"flapping hinge in the titanium ( now bolted version ) main rotor head. The BO 105 rotor head is a thing of beauty , the only weak point being ( IMHO) the TT straps. http://www.b-domke.de/AviationImages/Rotorhead/6927.html See above for best link to all the rotrhead you need to know about.

InspectorGadget Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks for the link Widgeon, that is awesome. Makes you shake your head at some of those designs. Either the engineers were geniuses, or they were huffing something strong. Speaking of which, I better get back to sealing our concrete hanger floor. :blur: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
