Dragonfly ~ Rotor - Blade - 8-H-12 - Aluminum

Overview:

All of the following pages are SynchroLite pages, but the only difference between the Dragonfly and the SynchroLite blade is the length.

Outside Web Page:

Vortech extruded aluminum blades.

The price from Vortech is $650.00 US for a pair of 9-foot long blades. Three pair are subject to a discount of 10%. Should phone Eagles Perch for a second price.

The spar is not included but the root cap, tip cap and mounting plates are. The reverse rotation may necessitate producing opposites of all of these.

Weights: (from MODULE: Rotor)

If (Chord = 0.3958) ['Chord is 4.75"] then Multiplier = 0.34375

The values below are for an 8" chord. They are then adjusted by the Multiplyer

RotorHub = 2 * Multiplier 'Item 0306 'Weight is 1/2 of rotor hub weight of 3.

RootCap = 0.0221 * Multiplier 'Item 0299

BladeGrip = 0.5556 * Multiplier 'Item 0297 'Considered 12" long.

'TipWeight comes from box on form 'Item 0323

TipCap = 0.0309 * Multiplier 'Item 0298

Blade = 1.4112 * Multiplier 'Item 0351 'Pounds per foot.

NoseWeight = 0.80766 * Multiplier 'Item 0330 'Pounds per foot.

It looks like Access is all setup to run the 8-H-12 blades calculations, such as coning angle etc etc.
