There is described a helicopter having a first member movable with respect
to a second member; lubricated supporting means for supporting the first
member with respect to the second member; and a primary lubricating
circuit for lubricating the supporting means and in turn having primary
storage means for accumulating a lubricating fluid, and primary fluid
feed means for feeding the lubricating fluid to the supporting means; the
helicopter also has an auxiliary lubricating circuit supplied continually
by the primary storage means with a first lubricating fluid flow value,
and itself continually supplying the supporting means with a second
lubricating fluid flow value lower than the first value, so as to produce
an auxiliary storage volume of lubricating fluid for use in the event of
breakdown of the primary lubricating circuit.
