rotor blade
41advancing blade — In a translational flight, the rotor blade moving forward into the relative airflow (i.e., it is moving in the same direction as the helicopter). Each blade advances through 180° of its travel, normally from dead astern to dead ahead. In the case …
42main rotor — noun rotor consisting of large rotating airfoils on a single rotor helicopter that produce the lift to support the helicopter in the air • Hypernyms: ↑rotor • Part Meronyms: ↑rotor blade, ↑rotary wing, ↑rotor head, ↑rotor shaft …
43extended-root blade — i. A propeller blade with the root extended in a chord. ii. A gas turbine rotor blade in which the airfoil is carried on a long platform in a disc of reduced diameter …
44retreating blade — The process of the rotor blade moving away from the relative airflow (i.e., in the direction opposite to which the helicopter is flying). See retreating blade stall …
45target blade — The identification of one helicopter rotor blade during electronic balancing. This is the reference blade with the double interrupter …
46flexible blade — A helicopter rotor blade with a trailing edge or balance tabs …
47E-Flite Blade CX and CX2 — The E Flite Blade CX is an entry level, ready to fly electric micro R/C helicopter designed and distributed by E Flite, a division of Horizon Hobby of Champaign, Illinois, USA.Blade CXThis model was introduced in late 2005 as an easier to fly… …
48Darrieus-Rotor — von Martigny (Kanton Wallis), erbaut 1987, Centre de recherche et d enseignement en energie et techniques municipales Der Darrieus Rotor ist eine Windturbine für Windkraftanlagen mit vertikaler Rotationsachse (VAWT, vertical axis wind turbine),… …
49dissymmetry of rotor thrust — A condition in which one side of a rotor disc produces more thrust than the other. The speed of relative airflow over the advancing blade is higher than that of the retreating blade. The rotor thrust of the advancing blade also is higher than… …
50Single-blade propeller — A single blade propeller is a notable configuration of a propulsion system used on aerodynes to generate thrust. Normally propellers are multiblades. The simplicity of a single blade propeller fits very well on motorized gliders, because it… …
