Bearing arrangement with a first bearing layer and a second bearing layer

A multi-blade rotor comprising:

• a multiplicity of rotor blades;
• a rotor head with an associated rotor hub,
• a bearing arrangement connecting at least one of the multiplicity of rotor blades with the rotor hub, the bearing arrangement having:
• a first bearing layer comprising a first bearing support element and a second bearing layer comprising a second bearing support element, the first and second bearing layers being glidingly interconnected by at least one intermediate glide element,
• wherein a first gliding component is arranged between the first bearing support element and the intermediate glide element, and
• wherein a second gliding component is arranged between the second bearing support element and the intermediate glide element, the intermediate glide element being elastically attached to the first bearing support element by a first flexible connector and to the second bearing support element by a second flexible connector, and
• wherein the first flexible connector and the second flexible connector are physically separated from each other by the at least one intermediate glide element to maintain relative movement between the first and second bearing support elements.

A bearing arrangement comprising:

• a first bearing layer comprising a first bearing support element;
• a second bearing layer comprising a second bearing support element;
• an intermediate glide element disposed between the first and second bearing layers;
• a first gliding component arranged between the first bearing support element and the intermediate glide element, and
• a second gliding component arranged between second bearing support member and the intermediate glide element;
• a first flexible connector elastically attached to the first bearing support element and the intermediate glide element;
• and
• a second flexible connector elastically attached to the second bearing support element and the intermediate glide element,
• wherein the first flexible connector and the second flexible connector are physically separated from each other by the intermediate glide element to maintain relative movement between the first and second bearing support elements.
