trim tab :Main rotor blades are of all metal construction with an aluminum alloy honeycomb core, aluminum skins and nose block. All structural components are joined by metal to metal bonding. The blades are set in hub grips at a precone angle of 2½ [degree] and are secured by a single retention bolt in each grip. A trim tab is located on the blade trailing edge for tracking adjustments. 6, record 3, English, - tab%20bending%20tool

The first helicopter simulators used a rotor map technique which calculated the total thrust vector of the main rotor on the basis of a series of stored steady states... The simulator was therefore quite realistic in steady flight states, but... [not] in transient condition... in order to achieve realism, the main rotor had to be simulated blade by blade throughout every rotation(blade element modelling), so that factors like interference and cross-coupling could be taken into account. 1, record 4, English, - blade%20element%20modelling

Detection relies entirely on echoes returned by the main rotor blades which do yield a significant Doppler effect. Experience has shown that rotor blades, whether metal or plastic, behave like mirrors in terms of reflecting electromagnetic radiation. In other words, a blade will only give a usable return to the transmitter location if it is perpendicular to line connecting blade and transmitter. At the receiver, a series of return pulses can be detected, each corresponding to the passage of a blade. By analogy with the illumination of a rotating mirror, this pulsed return pattern is known as "blade flash". 1, record 5, English, - blade%20flash

La détection repose entièrement sur les échos renvoyés par les pales du rotor principal qui, eux, présentent un effet Doppler important. L'expérience a montré que les pales, métalliques ou plastiques, se comportent vis-à-vis du rayonnement électromagnétique comme des miroirs. En d'autres termes, elles ne réfléchissent l'émission radar que si elles sont perpendiculaires à celle-ci. A la réception, on enregistre donc une série de retours de caractères impulsionnels, chacun correspondant au passage d'une pale. Par analogie avec l'illumination d'un miroir tournant, on appelle "éclairs de pale" ces retours impulsionnels. 1, record 5, French, - %C3%A9clair%20de%20pale
