What is it? edit
@Cagliost: This article presents readers with a mystery. The first sentence says coning is a phenomenon affecting helicopter rotor discs but it doesn’t describe this phenomenon or say what it is. The second sentence attempts to explain why coning occurs but still doesn’t explain what it is.
The third sentence is poorly worded and suggests that coning is the result of centrifugal force! This contradicts the cause implied in the second sentence.
There is a paragraph devoted to pre-coning of the blades in the Bell UH-1H/204/205. The cited source is citation number 4. I have downloaded this cited source and read it. I found nothing about the rotor blades or the rotor system installed in this helicopter. If there is something written in this document about pre-coning of the blades please quote it here on the Talk page, or tell us where to find it. If it turns out you have cited the wrong document please delete the citation.
Even when a reader reaches the end of the page they are unlikely to have any idea of what coning is. Readers will also want to know why coning is sufficiently notable (or significant) to warrant its own Wikipedia page. Thanks. Dolphin (t) 10:52, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
