Our twobladed rotors require a low conicity to avoid excessive vibration. This conditions the choice of the blade mass.Did you ever weigh those beautiful rotorblades you built? I have always wondered how much they weigh compared to metal blades.
Javier, I traveled the length of Spain from Algeceras to the French border during the Franco era when socialist Europe regarded fascist Spain as Europe’s bad guy. I was transferred from a US airbase in Morocco to the US military advisory group in Denmark.
The Mediterranean coastal route to Barcelona consisted of 2,000 miles of unpaved road with 2 members of the Guardia Civil in their celluloid hats posted every 10 miles or so.
No gasoline for Spaniards, the few automobiles had charcoal gas generators hung on the rear end and railways had wood burning locomotives that stopped occasionally with crew and passengers out chopping wood. Plenty of gasoline for purchasers with foreign currency.
