Question 1
Which type of main rotor hub assembly allows individual rotor blades to flap, lead-lag (drag), and feather independently via mechanical hinges?
Correct Answer:
Fully articulated rotor system
Question 2
In a fully articulated main rotor head, what mechanical component is installed on the lead-lag hinge to prevent destructive blade hunting and ground resonance?
Correct Answer:
Hydraulically damped drag damper
Question 3
Why are semi-rigid teetering rotor hubs mounted in an 'underslung' geometry relative to the teetering hinge pin?
Correct Answer:
To minimize shifts in the blade center of gravity relative to the mast center of rotation during flapping, reducing Coriolis accelerations
Question 4
A helicopter equipped with a semi-rigid teetering rotor system experiences a low-G pushover maneuver. What critical structural phenomenon is likely to occur if cyclic control is applied abruptly?
Correct Answer:
Mast bumping due to severe flapping angle exceeding teetering hinge stops
Question 5
How do modern rigid (hingeless) rotor systems accommodate blade flapping and lead-lag stresses without mechanical hinge pins?
Correct Answer:
Through flexible composite structural elements at the blade root that flex under aerodynamic loads
