Abstract
A variable-pitch multi-blade rotor for use as the anti-torque rear rotor of a rotating wing aircraft has a rotor with a central shaft rotated about a central axis, a hub constrained to rotate with the central shaft about the central axis, blades distributed around the central axis with each blade being connected to the central shaft by a twistable element, a pitch control disk for the blades which is constrained to rotate with the central shaft but free to slide axially relative to the central shaft, and a member for controlling the sliding of the pitch control disk along the central shaft. Each blade root is secured to a transverse thrust and pitch control lever forming a yoke having one end hinged to the hub and another end hinged to the pitch control disk.
