Abstract
Various implementations include a rotor control device including a shaft extending along a rotational axis, a hub, first and second pitch control components, and a swashplate. The hub has a hub axis and is hingedly coupled to the shaft such that the hub axis is perpendicular to the rotational axis and stationary relative to the shaft. The hub is hingable about the hub axis relative to the rotational axis. The first pitch control component is coupled to the hub. The swashplate has the second pitch control component hingedly engaging the first pitch control component. The swashplate is movable along a swashplate plane transverse to the rotational axis. The shaft is rotatable about the rotational axis relative to the swashplate. Movement of the swashplate along the swashplate plane relative to the rotational axis causes the hub to periodically hinge about the hinge axis as the hub rotates about the rotational axis.
