Abstract
The wings of a rotary wing aircraft comprise, for example, four wing blades orming two pairs of wing blades whereby the blades of a pair are located diametrically opposite each other. The blades of a pair are connected to each other by a spar extending from wing blade to wing blade. The spar is operatively secured to the rotor head. Each spar has between the rotor head and the respective wing blade a zone with a torsion yieldability larger than in the spar outside said zone. A beam stiff against bending, bridges the zone, referred to as a torque soft zone, from the wing blade toward the rotor head except for a small flexible section between the rotor head and the radially inner end of the beam. The flexible section permits the blade flapping movements and the blade lead-lag movements.
