Abstract

A tail rotor head of a rotary wing aircraft is disclosed, the tail rotor head having at least a pitch control unit and a tail rotor hub, wherein a multiplicity of tail rotor blade holders are arranged to be connectable while reaching through openings in the tail rotor hub and the pitch control unit at the tail rotor head. The tail rotor blade is detachably connected at a first side of the tail rotor blade holder and a tension torsion strap is detachably mounted at a second side of the tail rotor blade holder. The tension torsion strap runs from the tail rotor head at least partly through the tail rotor blade holder radially outward in a direction of the tail rotor blade, thereby allowing for easy replacement of single rotor blades and a more simplified maintenance of the tail rotor head.
