ABSTRACT:
A viscous damper for a helicopter rotor blade having a stator member and a rotor member each having a plurality of flanges of different diameter defining cylindrical internal and external shear surfaces, respectfully, and a shear gap therebetween, one stator member internal shear surface having two diameters, the shear gap distances between proportional to radius, and a coaxial rotor member comprising two discs having outer cylindrical shaped shear suraces forming a shear gap with adjacent stator member shear surfaces and one rotor disc being axially movable so that a variable portion of its shear surface is opposite both of the diameters of the stator member two-diameter internal shear surface.
