Item 1237
DESIGN: Dragonfly ~ Rotor -
Disk - Autorotation![]()
Notes:
High inertia blades plus the offset rotor hinges, in conjunction with centrifugal force, should help resist the dropping of the nose during loss of power.
High inertia blades, a low disk loading and a rotor governor may allow for safe, unmodified vertical autorotations.
![]()
Concern:
Will the cutout be so large that it will be detrimental to the driving region, which provides the power to the rotor?
