Re: Rotor Blade Loading

Just a thought but if 26ft blades carry 200kgs gyro plus 80kg pilot quite well & a set of 28ft blades carry a 300kg gyro and 2x 80kg people well than it seems that with only an increase of 2ft of blade we can carry an extra 180kgs this is probably because the outside 3rd or so of of the disk does most/all the work if this is true then can some math nut work out the true loading ratio between weight and rotor dia
