GyroHeli ~ Rotor

Overview:

Two different types of rotor heads. Both have greater cyclic control than a teetering rotor head.

 Working Papers:

 

DESIGN:

A110

MAKE:

A121

Secondary Group:Some of the following will be changed from other craft to Gyro/Heli

 

Disk - Offset Teetering Rotor:

 

 

Hub - Offset Teetering Rotor:

 

 

  

 

 

GyroHeli - w/ CVJ+HS Rotor Hub

For non-powered rotor only

 

Blade:

Disk:

Hub - 3-blade CVJ+HS:

SynchroLite. Rotor CVJ+HS.

Hubs:

First: OTHER: Aircraft - Gyro/Heli - Offset Teetering Rotor Hub

Next or at same time: OTHER: Aircraft - Gyro/Heli - w/ CVJ+HS Rotor Hub (for non-powered rotor only)

Later: a larger SynchroLite ~ Rotor - Hub - 3-blade -CVJ+HS (for powered rotor)

General:

Foldable or removable blades, if possible.

Notes on Autogyro from somewhere.

Low aspect ratio appears to be OK. therefore a 3-blade rotor using blades for a 2-blade machine may be OK. Ratio of 8;1 performs well.
