Zusammenfassung: | A sleeve connecting a blade to the hub of a rotor of a rotary wing aircraft. The sleeve has a leading edge and a trailing edge, together with a protuberance arranged on the trailing edge. The dimensions of the protuberance are linked to the dimensions of the sleeve. The presence of the protuberance serves to improve the aerodynamic behavior of the sleeve and of the rotor during rotation of the rotor while the aircraft is moving forwards, both when the sleeve is advancing and when it is retreating. The presence of the protuberance also serves to reduce the vibration generated by a wake of the rotor on a tail boom or on a horizontal and/or vertical stabilizer of the aircraft. |
