A rotor or propeller may have rotor blades and a passive pitch angle adjustment apparatus. The passive pitch angle adjustment apparatus may include levers, rods, and central rod. Levers may be connected to rotor blades and rotate them around a respective pitch axis. Rods may be connected to levers and mechanically link levers with each other via central point that is located outside rotor plane. Central rod may connect central point with base point that is located in a longitudinal direction of rotor axis. The passive pitch angle adjustment apparatus may enable a cyclic pitch adjustment of the rotor blades and block a collective pitch adjustment of the rotor blades.
