释义 autorotation
noun[ C or U ]
uk /ˌɔː.təʊ.rəʊˈteɪ.ʃən/ us /ˌɑː.t̬oʊ.roʊˈteɪ.ʃən/
the turning of the blades of a helicopter(= an aircraft with spinning blades on top that can take off and land vertically) without using power from the engine, or a single spin of these blades:
As a helicopter flight instructor, she was well practiced in performing autorotations in the event of engine failure.
Autorotation works much in the way of a parachute, with air pressure creating lift on the rotor as the aircraft descends.
If a helicopter's engine power fails, the pilot can attempt a landing using autorotation, which resembles a maple seed pod spinning to the ground.

Examples of autorotation


autorotation
The proper interplay of those conditions, which include synchronization of vortex shedding and rate of rotation, results in autorotation.
An initial impulse is always necessary to obtain autorotation.
Thus, a sharp edge is most favourable for autorotation.
Sometimes, aerodynamicists consider any continuous rotation of a body in a parallel flow without external sources of energy as autorotation.
A few historical notes on the autorotation of plates will inform the reader of the physical problems involved and of the areas of application.
If this initial impulse is too weak, the plate will oscillate a few times, and the motion may then come either to a stop or it may become autorotation.
This indicates (and will be later elaborated on) that a local event like delayed vortex shedding behind the retreating edge by itself is not sufficient to explain autorotation.
As in the supporting period, the above situation shows that the delay of vortex shedding at the retreating edge by itself is insufficient to describe autorotation.
In both cases numerical computations would require a number of trials with excessively long computer runs to arrive at a solution for the state of autorotation.
This high altitude autorotation also set a new world record.
