  • Patent number: 8944764
    Abstract: A main rotor arrangement for an UAV-helicopter. A rotor mast defines a vertical axis of rotation. A hub is for attachment of rotor blades. The hub is mounted to the rotor mast in a tiltable way so as to reduce loads acting on the rotor blades during operation of the UAV-helicopter. A damping assembly is configured to damp the tilting of the hub.
