A cycloidal rotor is provided having a flexible by actuators or self-flexing blade-positioning tack, which can be brought into shape corresponding to currently desired blade orbit. This rotor can also be provided with frontal shielding or partial enclosure to assure that rotor operates at any speed as if in hovering flight; rotor track can be inclined to produce forward thrust or external thrusters can be used. Optionally in other embodiments blade orbit shape is determined by a variable cam mechanism or the inclination of blade positioning track of fixed shape to produce a change of its projected shape onto blades' plane of operation thus changing blades elliptic orbit. Blade centrifugal force countervailing mechanism is also proposed.
