That's a BO-105 rotor head. Back in the 1980s I maintained this bird on an offshore natural gas production platform 100 miles south of Louisiana.

Helicopters are a testament to the fact that with proper materials science, technology and engineering you can beat gravity into submission.

Does the rotor wing really change the angle of attack during each rotation. Can someone tell me why it wouldn’t be constant? Really cool and I’d love to learn.

Is that an optical illusion or does the wire locking that bolt head actually move that much relative to the rotor on each rotation ? If so, seems it would have a fairly short life.
