The rotor of a hybrid aerodyne for producing lift by rotating during a stage of vertical flight and then for being held stationary and stored longitudinally during a stage of cruising flight has at least one single-blade with a counterweight. The length of the active blade that generates lift of the rotor while rotating is significantly shorter than the length of the radius of the rotor. The portion that carries the active blade that makes the connection between the active blade and rotor mast is structurally rigid. The rigid portion that carries the active blade presents a cross-section optimized to provide zero or almost zero lift and very little aerodynamic drag while the rotor is rotating. The assembly is hinged about a transverse axis perpendicular to the vertical axis of the rotor and substantially on the vertical axis of the rotor mast.
