The dynamic loads of a helicopter rotor in forward flight are influenced significantly by the geometric pitch angles between the structural axes of the hub and blade sections and the plane of rotation. The analytical study presented includes elastic coupling between inplane and out-of-plane deflections as a function of geometric pitch between the plane of rotation and the principal axes of inertia of each blade. The numerical evaluation is based on a transient analysis using lumped masses and elastic substructure techniques. A comparison of cases with and without cyclic feathering motion shows the effect on computed dynamic rotor loads.
