    Abstract: Apparatus for damping blade lead/lag motion on a hingeless helicopter rotor assembly, including a hub, blades and flexbeam(s) interposed between the root end of the blades and the hub. Rigid, radial links extend the length of the flexbeams for attachment to the outboard ends thereof. Lead/lag motion at the outboard end of the flexbeam causes flexbeam bending, which is converted to radial translation of the links. This radial translation of the links and likewise the blade lead/lag motion is damped by damper means connected between the inboard ends of the links and the hub.
