I've wondered for some time what the rationale behind the pivot point on a rotor is above the blade bar. Is this related to cone angle and reducing the resistance to rotor rocking by approaching the center of the disk which in flight is actually a cone? Interestingly the result is a side shift as the rotor rocks...... Is that slight shift an asset or a liability? I'm curious to hear thoughts on this.
