This is the same design used in many two bladed examples such as the Robinson R22 and R44. Mast bumping has been implicated in a number of high profile civillian fatalities in Australia, especially if resulting in a tail rotor or cockpit contact with the main rotor blade Fast forward to about 11:20 for the brief description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
