• blade stall — As it refers to rotorcraft, it is the condition of the retreating rotor blade when in forward flight and when operating at an angle of attack greater than the maximum angle of lift. This occurs at high forward speeds and when settling with power …   Aviation dictionary

• Retreating blade stall — is a hazardous flight condition in helicopters and other rotary wing aircraft, where the rotor blade rotating away from the direction of flight stalls. The stall is due to low relative airspeed and/or excessive angle of attack (or AOA).… …   Wikipedia

• blade flapping — The vertical movement of a helicopter rotor blade about a horizontal or flapping hinge, in which the blades tend to rise and descend with respect to the rotor hub as they rotate. Blade flapping tends to minimize asymmetrical lift by increasing… …   Aviation dictionary

• retreating 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 …   Aviation dictionary

• retreating-blade stall — The stall of a helicopter rotor disc that occurs starting at the tip of the retreating blade. This happens when the helicopter forward speed is high. The individual angle of attack of the retreating blade becomes larger because the downward blade …   Aviation dictionary

• dissymmetry 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… …   Aviation dictionary
