Abstract
A head for a rotor of a rotorcraft, the head comprising a cap extending radially from an axis of rotation in elevation towards a periphery and extending in azimuth over 360 degrees, the cap extending in thickness between an inside face that is to face a hub of the rotor and an outside face overlying the inside face, the periphery being crenellated to define a succession of crenellations and of notches, each notch allowing a blade of the rotor to perform flapping motion.
