In Sikorsky announces first flight of 'X2' triplex supercopter

the problem here will be not the advancing blade, but the retreating one as the rotor is slowed down. The swash plate will dictate what angle of attack is on the retreating blade which will start to deflect in the airstream with less centrifical force holding it rigid. It talks about fiddling on the v-22. I see no (fiddling), this sounds like a single rotor axis argument from the v-22 nay sayers which thier ceo had who has moved to Bell espouses. He still says false things about the v-22, like half the lift, with half the time to targeted distances. He was the worst thing to happen to a solid program.
