The main rotor blades segment of the global helicopter blades market is expected to grow faster.

The global helicopter blades market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.57% during the forecast period. Based on the product, the global helicopter blades market has been segmented into main rotor blades and tail rotor blades.

The main rotor is responsible for generating the upward force that lifts a helicopter in the air. Each blade in the main rotor system produces the same share of lift, balancing the rotorcraft, and divides the lifting force evenly between rotor blades and the main rotor system. The components of the main rotor system include mast, hub, and blades. The mast is a hollow cylindrical metal shaft connected to the gearbox. The hub is used to fix rotor blades on top of the mast, and rotor blades are responsible for the generation of lift in the helicopter.

The main rotor system is classified into three types, namely rigid, semirigid, and fully articulated, based on the attachment of the hub to the rotor blades and main rotor motion with respect to the mast. The availability of different types of main rotor system is a clear indication of the importance of the main rotor blades in helicopters. The number of main rotor blades used in a helicopter also depends on the type of rotor system and helicopter such as heavyweight or lightweight. Hence, the main rotor blades segment of the global helicopter blades market is expected to grow faster during the forecast period.
