Estimating the term…
A rotor blade configured to couple to a rotor assembly having an axis of rotation includes a blade radius R between the axis of rotation and an outboard end of the rotor blade when coupled to the rotor assembly. When an inboard end of the rotor blade is coupled to the rotor assembly at about x/R=0.10, between about 18 percent and about 22 percent of the total mass of the rotor blade is located between about x/R=0.88 and about x/R=0.93, x corresponding to a radial location of the rotor blade measured from the axis of rotation.
