In a helicopter rotor system, a hub assembly including a blade retention member which is compressible and torsionable in installation and operation of such rotor system, the torsional stiffness of the member decreasing with increasing rotor blade speed, the compressible stress not exceeding the strength of the material out of which the member is fabricated. Its inboard end is fixedly connected to either the rotor blade or a movable hub enveloping it at its inboard end, while its outboard end is fixedly connected to the fixed hub or extension thereof in the rotor system. Means are also provided in the system for isolating bearing means supporting the blade from the blade retention member. The member itself comprises a plurality of rails spacedly disposed radially equidistant from a common centerline coincident with the feathering axis for the blade.
