Item 0843
DESIGN: SynchroLite ~
Rotor - Hub - 2-blade Teetering - Layout w/ Common Axis
Drawing:
To come
The same as 0088 except that the yoke is split into 2 yokes with both having the same hinge axis.
Notes:
The intent is to basically duplicate the Robinson hub, but by using a single hinge instead of threes.
A possible disadvantage is that if one blade only flaps it will impart a horizontal moment to the mast.
What about joining the two yokes together by a very strong spring? This will give them a tendency to teeter as a unit and yet have the ability to change the 'precone'.
