Abstract
In order to avoid a negative coupling between blade lead-lag movements and lade angle adjustment movements in a helicopter rotor, the angle (.beta.) between a control rod (5) for the blade angle adjustment and an effective damping plane (M) of the rotor is increased as compared to the respective angle in conventional rotors. This increase of the angle (.beta.) is accomplished by arranging a damping device (9) having the effective plane (M) for suppressing blade lead-lag movements in such a way on a blade angle control sleeve (4), that the effective plane (M) of the damping device (9) encloses an angle (.alpha.) with the lead-lag plane of the rotor.
