Stroke, which has two main types as cerebral ischemia and hemorrhage, is a serious health
condition that is among the leading causes of death and permanent disability worldwide …

An automated approach for autorotation management is proposed for unmanned or
optionally piloted rotary wing air vehicles. The intent of this approach is to take into account …

Autorotation is a flight condition where the rotation of the rotor is sustained by the airflow
moving up through the rotor, rather than by means of engine torque applied to the shaft …

Autorotation is a maneuver that requires no power and it is used in rotorcrafts when last
