Rotorcraft tail rotor, a rotorcraft fitted with such a tail rotor, and a method of statically and/or dynamically balancing a rotorcraft tail rotor

A method of statically and dynamically balancing a rotorcraft tail rotor comprising at least two blade elements, each blade element having a chord and including at least one compensation weight comprising a projection extending transverse to the chord of the blade element along a transverse axis Y that is substantially perpendicular to the chord of the blade element, the projection being fixed relative to the blade element;

• wherein the method comprises a step in which the at least one compensation weight is fitted with a deformable portion that is movable relative to the projection in a plane P that is substantially parallel to the chord of the blade element and substantially perpendicular to the transverse axis Y.

A rotorcraft tail rotor comprising:

• at least two blade elements, each of the blade elements having a chord and being pivotable about a collective pitch variation axis Z to vary the collective pitch of each of the blade elements of the tail rotor, each of the blade elements including a compensation weight comprising a projection extending along a transverse axis Y substantially perpendicular to the chord of a respective one of the blade elements, the projection being fixed relative to the blade element;
• the compensation weight including a deformable portion movable relative to the projection in a plane P that is substantially perpendicular to the transverse axis Y and substantially parallel to the chord of the respective blade element.
