Module 8. Basic aerodynamics

What principle does the delta 3 hinge use?

  • Triangular pitch lever.
  • Flapping actuators.
  • Offset hinges.

Explanation

The delta-three hinge skews or offsets the flapping hinge axis so that blade flapping is mechanically coupled to a change in blade pitch. This pitch-flap coupling, achieved through the offset hinge geometry, reduces flapping and helps stabilise the rotor.

delta 3 hinge is used on elicopters to compensate asymmetry in lift. it allows the rotor to flap.
