Extract

In view of the strong claims for offset flapping and drag hinges made by Mr. Payne in his Technical Note (September 1955) I would like to make the following comments.

Many of his conclusions depend on the assertion that there is a steady inertia force on the rotor hub when the rotor tilts. This force is simply the reaction on the hub due to the sideways thrust component and should not be included with the external forces on the helicopter.
