A rotor (3, 3') for a hover-capable aircraft (1) is described that comprises: a drive mast (6); a hub (5) operatively connected to the drive mast (6) and rotatable about a first axis (A); and at least two blades (9) hinged to the hub (5), via a rigid or elastically deformable connection, so as to be able to assume an attitude rotated about and/or translated along at least a second axis (B, C, D) with respect to said hub (5); the aircraft (1) further comprising sensor means (25) configured to detect the attitude of at least one said blade (9) with respect to the hub (5); the sensor means (25) are configured to acquire an optical image associated with the attitude of the blade (9) with respect to the hub (5).

Abstract
A rotor (3, 3') for a hover-capable aircraft (1) is described that comprises: a drive mast (6); a hub (5) operatively connected to the drive mast (6) and rotatable about a first axis (A); and at least two blades (9) hinged to the hub (5), via a rigid or elastically deformable connection, so as to be able to assume an attitude rotated about and/or translated along at least a second axis (B, C, D) with respect to said hub (5); the aircraft (1) further comprising sensor means (25) configured to detect the attitude of at least one said blade (9) with respect to the hub (5); the sensor means (25) are configured to acquire an optical image associated with the attitude of the blade (9) with respect to the hub (5).| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
