Abstract
A bladed aircraft rotor is disclosed having blades mounted by means of flexible devices providing freedom for blade motions, at least in the flapping sense and in the pitch-change sense, without employment of flapping or pitch bearings or pivots, the rotor also being provided with a central bearingless joint for transmitting thrust forces while providing freedom for angular movement of the rotor as a whole about a center point on the axis of rotation. A constant velocity torque-transmitting system is also provided.
