There is an exception to the droop on rotor blades.
If you look at the Westland Lynx/Wildcat as is now! The blades when stationary are straight and angled upwards. Due partly due to the blade construction and partly due to the rigid rotor head.
The Wessex, Sea Kings have what is called semi or fully articulated rotor heads. (The have hinges in both vertical and lateral axis). Won't go into helicopter theory of flight!! Advancing and retarding blah blah blah!!! (Mainly because I have forgotten most of it
).
