A rotor head is provided and includes a non-rotating frame, a rotating frame rotatable relative to the non-rotating frame and configured to impart motion to the rotating frame, a rotor hub assembly rotatable about a rotation axis and including a hub and blades extending outwardly from the hub and being pivotable about respective pitch axes thereof and rocker assemblies respectively associated with corresponding ones of the blades. Each rocker assembly is interconnected between the rotating frame and the corresponding one of the blades and configured to convert the motion imparted to the rotating frame into a pitching of one of the blades about the respective pitch axes and amplify the motion such that an angle of the pitching exceeds an angle that would be achieved if the corresponding one of the blades were connected directly to the rotating frame.
