Abstract

A tension-torque-transmission element (3; 3′; 4) for a rotor blade of a rotary wing aircraft (helicopter), in particular for a fenestron blade of a tail rotor, with a connecting section on the blade side and a connecting section (30; 30′; 40) on the axis side, with a connecting eye (32) on each connecting section, and with a torque-transmission section (34; 34′; 44) that connects the connecting sections (30; 30′; 40), is improved in that the tension-torque-transmission element (3; 3′; 4) is designed in a fiber-reinforced composite design including several layers (A to G) of a textile fabric. A method for producing such a tension-torque-transmission element (3; 3′; 4) is also described.
