Usage Examples English
- Since the air base is mainly used as a training site for helicopter pilots, several grassy areas parallel to the runway are used for the training of emergency landing procedures, for example autorotation and engine failure.
- The Exec 90 was developed in the early 1990s, it was, at the time, the only piston-powered helicopter to utilize an asymmetrical airfoil for improved autorotation characteristics and safety.
- Gliding in a helicopter is called autorotation.
- In 2021, Airbus tested a hybrid electric assist in an H130 to extend reaction time up to 30 seconds during transition to autorotation after engine failure.
- At that extreme altitude, the engine flamed out and Boulet had to land the helicopter by breaking another record: the longest successful autorotation in history.
- Airspeed has to increase beyond the 40–80 knot range, allowing the safe initiation of an autorotation.
- In the event of an engine failure, the sprag clutch allows the main rotor to continue rotating faster than the engines so that the helicopter can enter autorotation.
- With helicopters, a forced landing involves autorotation, since the helicopter glides by allowing its rotor to spin freely during the descent thus generating lift.
- To recover without autorotation, the Zefhir is fitted with a ballistic parachute safety system.
- The design has an electrical power system to aid autorotation in the event of main engine loss in flight.
- Due to the absence of a rotor, hence autorotation, Fancraft will be equipped with a ballistically deployed parachute to be used in cases of catastrophic engine failure.
- The crew then attempted an emergency landing by performing an autorotation, but likely over-control by the pilot while flaring over densely forested terrain resulted in the main rotor's blades striking the tail boom, severing it from the fuselage.
- The Gizmo has demonstrated low autorotation sink rates of 1200 ft/min.
- If these measures are not effective, an entry into an autorotation may be necessary, applying full opposite rudder until rotation stops.
- For fixed-wing aircraft, autorotation is the tendency of an aircraft in or near a stall to roll spontaneously to the right or left, leading to a spin (a state of continuous autorotation).
- Second, the rotors are fixed pitch, which assists with simplicity; this means, however, that in the event of engine failure autorotation is impossible.
