ABSTRACT:
A helicopter rotor with foldable blades has, in the hub and blade roots, holes for mounting the blade roots to the rotor hub with connecting bolts passing through these holes in the operating position of the blades. Additionally, at least one blade of two blades and the hub have aligned holes for holding the respective foldable blade in a folded position, whereby one of the regular connecting bolts passes through the aligned holes, which are located as close as possible to the pivoting point connecting a pitch angle control rod to a pitch angle control sleeve.
