Blade Loading
The load placed on the rotor blades of a helicopter, determined by dividing the gross weight of the helicopter by the combined area of all the rotor blades.

Blade Loading. Used with reference to a gyroplane or helicopter. It is the loaded weight of the machine divided by the total area of the rotor blades, not to be confused with disc loading, which, which is the equivalent of wing loading.
High blade loading (high gross weight)
Low rotor RPM
High density altitude
Steep or abrupt turns
Turbulent air
When flight conditions are such that blade stall is likely, extreme caution should be exercised when maneuvering.
a higher pitch angle at the root where speed is low and lower pitch angles nearer the tip where speed is higher. This design helps distribute the lift more evenly along the blade. It increases both the induced air velocity and the blade loading near ...
